11m @SOTAbeams #travelmast with #randomlengthwireantenna into #qrpradio #ft817 #z817 @cwmorse_us #sp4 for this morning's #amateurradio #hamradio cw #morsecode and #ssb #parksontheair #pota activation

A sunrise #hamonabike Early Bird #amateurradio #hamradio #morsecode CW #parksontheair #pota activation with #hb1b into #randomlengthwireantenna up 37'

I had a visitor during this morning's #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation while setting up my #randomlengthwireantenna and I was able to pull a rabbit out of my hat with a 20m #ssb #QSO into Japan

Fun #pota #parksontheair activation this morning with #ft891 #mfj971 and #randomlengthwireantenna. Long activation called for #tpsolar 60w #solarpanel & #buddipolemini #hamradio #amateurradio

Another day of Mother Nature being unkind during #pota #parksontheair activation. #SolarFlares. So I'll show off my #randomlengthwireantenna with #qrpradio #ft817 #z817 #putikeeg mini #morsecode #straightkey #amateurradio #hamradio

Last of photos from today's #parksontheair #pota activation deployment of new SOTABEAMS mast. 28.5' vertical #randomlengthwireantenna with counterpoise and 40 - 10 #EFHW #endfedantenna with 32' top sloped to 3'.

I had a #dremmittbrown moment this morning. "It works" with my #randomlengthwireantenna made of 26 AWG ultralight Stealth wire from #dxengineering. Right out of the gate 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Rob #wc1n 28.5' radiator with 28.5' counterpoise Tuned 1.1:1 with #z817 #autotuner on 40,30,20,17,15,12 and 10 meters. It's a keeper. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode

That was easy. Completed 28.5' ultra light #diyantenna #randomlengthwireantenna and 28.5' counterpoise with 26 AWG Stealth Wire. With my Bicycle #hamradio #amateurradio #pota #parksontheair activations, the lighter the better, the less space even better.

It's a Goldilocks kind of day along the #lewisandclarknationalhistorictrail on the #ohioriver in KY for today's #parksontheair #pota #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode #qrpradio #ft817 #randomlengthwireantenna activation

Going with a Speaker Wire #randomlengthwireantenna with 9:1 #unun. Had so much fun with the #putikeeg mini #straightkey yesterday, putting in back in action for today's
CW #morsecode #qrp #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation

Let's see what Helios the Greek Sun GOD has in store for my #pota #parksontheair #cw #morsecode activation using the #youkits #hb11b & #randomlengthwireantenna with #z817 #autotuner #amateurradio #hamradio

All of this went into that , this way. #qrpradio #ft817 #amateurradio #hamradio #randomlengthwireantenna #z817 #autotuner #lifepo4battery 3Ahr 12v battery #putikeeg mini #straightkey 9:1 unun mic 174 coax 100' throwline & weight Sony recorder & Thermos plus notepad pens,multi tool, backup paddle 2 turtle doves and partridge in a pear tree.

@bhosmer @Tuftelndotnet That's definitely correct. I hadn't used my #qcxmini pair in awhile. Today I'll use my versatile #ft817 with #z817 #autotuner and #randomlengthwireantenna with 9:1 unun

The winter #amateurradio #hamradio projects have begun. Never had any success with #randomlengthwireantenna and 9:1 unun. Going to try again. So far things looking up. Now for the correct wire length for 80 - 10 meters with counterpoise. 🤞
