So my remote site has suffered a bit of damage after some 140km/h winds smashed into the side of the mountain that it is located on.
The 2m and 70cm antenna are both damaged and will need to be removed and replaced. I’ve spent considerable time and effort into this project, so it was a sad sight to see.
The remote site 99% of the time sits on 144 MHz WSPR as a beacon for other stations to listen for during openings of propagation such as tropospheric ducting or sporadic E.
For those who would like to donate toward the replacement of the antennas, please use this link:

The 70cm and 23cm antennas are from Antennas-Amplfiers.com:

Here’s the fifth video in the series building the qrp-labs.com QCX-mini 5W 20M radio. The radio itself is finished and I have aligned the receiver. The video shows some 20m CW on the air. Next step is to get the transmitter from 1W presently to the promised 5W. Enjoy the kit-build with me!

For the January VHF contest, I decided to have some fun from a SOTA summit. I set up as a 3-band station and operated for about 5.5 hours. Lots of activity on the bands, and many contacts. Enjoy the show!

I will certainly be making build videos for the 6m yagi and the Extended Double Zepp. The 2m/70cm yagi already has a build video: https://youtu.be/a4XIgYD-d1k
I created an Amazon store with a bunch of the goodies I use to build antennas and play radio. Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/shop/k6arkportableradio
Amazon gives me a small kick-back from any purchases through that link.
When new hams start out in the hobby, it’s important that they receive guidance and assistance along the way, after all we all had to start somewhere!
In today’s live stream we have Adam K6ARK from the @K6ARK Portable Radio channel and Steve KM9G from the @Temporarily Offline channel answering YOUR questions live!
Come along and learn all about antennas. Give us your questions in the live chat, perhaps you’re new to hobby and not sure where to start. What antenna should you use on HF? How much "gain" do you need?

Amateur Radio has long played an important role in emergency situations and events.
From the ARRL –
Amateur Radio operators set up and operate organized communication networks locally for governmental and emergency officials, as well as non-commercial communication for private citizens affected by the disaster. Amateur Radio operators are most likely to be active after disasters that damage regular lines of communications due to power outages and destruction of telephone, cellular and other infrastructure-dependent systems.
Many radio amateurs are active as communications volunteers with local public safety organizations. In addition, in some disasters, radio frequencies are not coordinated among relief officials and Amateur Radio operators step in to coordinate communication when radio towers and other elements in the communications infrastructure are damaged.
