The TS-590SG is a lovely radio. I felt it needed more accuracy on the higher HF bands, which could have been calibrated I suppose without this TCXO but at least now I am cock-on when it comes to frequency accuracy. Also the military looking side plates are a cool addition. Looking forward to getting out and about with this and seeing how it performs.
Here are the side-plates: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325234490051

The annual ARRL Field Day event is really fun! It is an event where hams take their radio gear portable, out in the field. This is what I love! The event takes place on the forth weekend in June, over Saturday and Sunday. I like to extend the outing to get more camping time in AND do Summits on the Air. Every year, I drive up on Thursday morning, secure my camp at the Field Day site where our club goes, and then do the "Field Day" warm-up by activating 3 or 4 peaks. This year, Sandy joined the fun for Field Day and the SOTA excursions. In this video we take you along on one of the 4 summits we activated. Sandy is on SSB and I am on CW.

They both work differently. A dipole will generally produce excellent gain perpendicular to the dipole element and a vertical will display an all-around-gain. BUT it all depends on the frequency and the height above ground. Let’s take off the covers and find out. Callum, M0MCX.
This book is one of the best practical guides that easily explains ham radio, specifically written for Australia and includes everything you’ll need to know for beginners, anyone interested in taking up, continuing or returning to amateur radio.
