This follows the Premiere where I discuss extremely long (very long!) wire antennas. Q&A followed by some reall RF from Cornwall using TS-590SG at 100W and DX Commander Expedition. Logging is via N1MM+ and the little spectrum thing is Friture (free download). Callum. M0MCX.

So I changed my thoughts and decided to use a Arduino Uno as a Fox controller to key my Baofeng UV-5R radio. I originally planned using a Raspberry Pi, but for reasons explained I decided against it. This is the final product.

Want to run FT-8 from an Android phone? How about using a tiny 5-band HF rig that costs less than $100 for the kit? Now you can.
On this SOTA activation, I show off a few new pieces of gear and a new bit of software:
– A (tr)uSDX transceiver | https://amzn.to/3nskT85 (Affiliate Link)
– Custom Audio Adapter | https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/LwO6AYPS
– The "FT8 Radio" app | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bunzee.ft8radio
– K6ARK SMA Antenna Matching Unit Kit | https://amzn.to/3nphvuK (Affiliate Link)
All of the K6ARK products currently available are linked from www.k6ark.com
All put together, it makes for a decently capable little piece of kit. The (tr)uSDX has been getting a lot of hype lately, and it’s an amazing little device for less than $100. But it’s simple hardware, and perhaps not a fully optimized design. Understand that it’s no high-performance radio. But it works. And in this activation, I demonstrate one cool way to put it to use.
I show off a new app developed by Dhiru Kholia. Although still a bit rough around the edges and quirky, it is fully capable of making FT8 contacts WITHOUT a separate linux or windows machine. For that, it’s pretty dang cool.
And finally, I extracted the CW contacts I made on the activation and will publish them as a separate video (link here… once posted)
