Is it possible to go from unpacking a brand new antenna to making your first HF contact — all in under 15 minutes? Let’s find out!
Join me as I load up the motorcycle, head to a remote POTA location, and put the JPC-12 coil-loaded vertical antenna to the ultimate real-world test. No benches. No picnic tables. No excuses. Just me, the radio, and the clock ticking down.
📡 What You’ll See:
• Full HF activation with the Xiegu X6100 at 10W
• Rapid deployment of the JPC-12 vertical antenna
• Real-time setup, tuning, and successful POTA contact
• Tips for assembling, grounding, and radial placement
• Bonus: Mandalorian GPS & a surprise turtle sighting 🐢
