I asked Russ if he had any large capacity batteries I could pinch for Jock White Field Day in ZL this year – the next thing you know we’re a team of three building an antenna the size of the moon.
Absolutely magnificent, we really broke the back of the job today – we just need to tension the wire to see where our feed point needs to be, drop it back down and then wire in a feeder and a couple of 1/4 wave legs for the bands we want to use and we’ve got ourselves an antenna.
Should be an absolute monster with no trouble busting through local QRM on 80 meters!
Hopefully Omicron doesn’t make a mess of our plans for next weekend!
Enjoy!

For years now, I’ve wanted to learn the art of CW. Work, kids, production schedules and laziness have kept me from learning. But now, I’ve gotten ahold of a new QRP radio that also does morse code encoding and decoding; with or without a CW key or the knowledge to use one.

Dean, NO6J, recently had a problem with his garage door light activating when he used high power. He fixed this problem by adding a Toroid. But he is still curious about Toroids…

In this episode we talk about the benefits of joining a SOTA community, the different opportunities that exist, and how to organize a group if one doesn’t exist near you.
Organizing and cultivating Summits on the Air groups is very important to the success of the larger SOTA community. It is a way to build comradery with those who share a common interest, it provides a landing spot for hams that are new to SOTA, and it facilitates new activities and gatherings. Today’s guests have all quietly moved to facilitate an active SOTA community in their area.
Mike KN6EZE has organized a SOTA group in southern California, Pat KI7SVM has done the same in the Carolina’s, and Doug N4HNH has facilitated a sense of community in Georgia. Each has done different things to organize their SOTA communities, but there is also some overlap.
Join us we talk about how YOU can participate in the SOTA community in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone “AP/DZ”. Every aspect of Portable Ops is explored in this biweekly live stream as we discuss news, gear, achievements, the workbench, contests, awards and more – find all Portable Ops related topics here.
