I usually run higher wattage, but 5 watts got the job done! Check out the tuning on 17 meters. Then, I moved to 20 meters to find more contacts.

@scorpio415 is wondering if all coax connectors need to be soldered. Are there easier options?

We made it… After seven weeks of not touching a camera, I finally sat down in the bunker and talked through everything we built, fixed, rebuilt, upgraded and pushed through this year at Holly Farm – and why I was completely burned out afterwards.
From the new winch on the "tower", to rebuilding antennas, running Multi-2 for CQ Worldwide, sorting the switching matrix, remote ops, the 4-Square, filters, amplifiers, coax runs, the bike-shed project… and yes, getting a new puppy – it’s been absolutely full-on.
But the good news? It all works.
Remote ops are flying, the 990s are paired with serious horsepower, and the big winter upgrades are about to begin: tower rebuild, GS-2800 rotator, Dyneema guys, a 160-metre vertical, LDF4-50 feeders, stub filters, and even a potential Station 3 down the field.
If you’ve wondered where I’ve been – here’s the whole story, straight from the bunker, with plenty of B-roll from the year’s chaos.
Thanks for sticking with me.
Cameras charged. Puppy asleep.
We’re rolling again.
Enjoy your radio.
