Is the GooZeeZoo JPC-7 Antenna good for Your Next SOTA or POTA?
In this video I set up the JPC-7 from GooZeeZoo. This is a antenna that comes in a nice carrying case and sets up pretty fast.

In this video I make a version of M0PZT’s Cobra antenna that is a bit more portable. This is a 80m Linear-Loaded Doublet that is only 40′ long.
I need to do more testing and get the antenna higher to see if it improves the efficiency. Below I will list parts needed for the build.

LiTime 12V 100ah Smart ComFlex Battery with Bluetooth & Victron Communication
In this video I discuss the LiTime 12v 100an ComFlex Battery.
The LiTime 12 V 100 Ah Smart ComFlex LiFePO₄ battery is built with a rugged, EV-grade 100A BMS (Battery Management System), Bluetooth monitoring, and supports both CAN & RS-485 communications for seamless Victron integration.
It includes low-temperature protection (charging disabled below ~0°C/32°F), an IP65 waterproof rated, locking communication port for harsh environment durability, and is scalable: up to 16 units can be paralleled when communication is used (to ~20.48 kWh) without compromising synchronization.
Its advanced LiTime 5.0 BMS gives 20+ protection features (over-charge, over-discharge, thermal, moisture, overload with auto-recovery, etc.), and the battery cell cycle life is rated at ~4,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, increasing to thousands more at lower depths of discharge.
Real-time data (SOC, voltage, temperature, etc.) is accessible via Bluetooth or via Victron’s tools (VRM, VictronConnect), enabling smarter charge/discharge decisions, better safety, and longer lifespan.
