Setting Up POTA Activation | Radioddity HF 009 Field Test

Join me for an exciting Parks on the Air (POTA) activation using the compact Radioddity HF-009 portable HF vertical antenna paired with the powerful Stryker SR-955 10-meter radio!

In this video, I take the Radioddity HF-009—a lightweight, quick-tuning multi-band antenna covering 5-50 MHz (60m to 6m) with low SWR (1.0-1.5) and up to 100W handling—out to a park for a real-world POTA hunt.

Watch as I set up in minutes, tune across bands (especially strong on 10m and higher), make contacts with hunters worldwide, and share tips for fast deployment, SWR checks, and maximizing this budget-friendly combo for POTA, camping, or field days.

Today’s video is sponsored by World Radio League, my go-to software for POTA Logging. Use the code JASON10 to get 10% off of any of their packages – https://app.worldradioleague.com/?via=jason

Using a Metal Roof (Short #133)

@nateitkin8279 has a metal roof and is wondering how he can leverage it for a high gain antenna. Does Dave have any suggestions? Will the roof even work?

QRP Wire Delta Loop Goofin'

This is a wire Delta Loop antenna given to me by Chris KI7JOM when we were in WA last Ozztober. I honestly thought it was just another EFHW but have recently learned it is in fact a Delta Loop. I’ve not really played with Delta Loops so I took it out today just to screw around with. Nothing serious. Just having fun. I know very little about its construction other than the following links:
