In this video I look into trying to get the SWR better by installing a tiger tail to my IC705.
Don’t get me wrong the signal stick is totally usable but I thought the SWR would have been better.
SWR isn’t everything but I don’t want it so high that it hurts my radios, so I want to do some receive testing with these antennas and a couple others I have later.
Its POTA Support your Parks Plaque Event 2023. I go to K-3051 Lake Ray Roberts for some Radio fun and hanging out with some friends. Oh Yes and some radios too.

Kind of a light week, news-wise. But minutes ago, the Q-Mobile was feaured in a Facebook Group that makes fun of poorly done (SH*T) radio installations. It was only a matter of time.

Pecron sent me a Solar Generator Power Station for a video review. Overall, I like it! I took it out to the field to test it for RFI from the wide-band receiver on the Icom IC-705. The results were somewhat what you’d expect, but better than most! Check out this video and let me know your thoughts…

Take #2. I went to #POTA this weekend and had every intention of contacting the ISS only to forget my microphone. Come to find out, I forgot a lot of stuff and needed to re-group.
