The DX Commander does not do well in wind, in my short experience. Today we have 25km/h winds gusting to ~50km/h. Nothing unusual. The instructions suggest that the extra guying further up the pole is optional. It's mandatory permanent install. #m0mcx

@AlanAtTek SWR?

@AlanAtTek Tuned to what? 70cm?

Sunday morning project, new house numbers.

@OH8STN China-sourced VNA (I like Mini1300), SWR meters (Mini 60 for /P, MFJ at QTH). At QTH for building, a 'scope, PSU, sig gen (Rigol & Siglent), multimeters & LCR meter.

As ham radio operators, we should also be thinking about the importance of test equipment. What's in your test kit? #oh8stn #hamradio #amateurradio #amateurfunk #funkamateur #flukecorp #rigexpert #turnigy #wattmeter #preparedness @oh8stn

@OH8STN That iCom is now looking like it really has had some proper /P use!

Say what you want about QRP or @chameleonantenna . 10w & #JS8CALL gets me bi-directional Comms around the world on 40m every day. More TX power, won't make us better operators 👍 Good night everyone #oh8stn #hamradio #amateurradio #amateurfunk #funkamateur #qrp @oh8stn

@OH8STN @PowerFilmSolar Looks like an end fed half wave on a carbon fibre fishing pole. But for 80m? If so it would need some loading coils???

Was out fat bike portable with #oh8hub . Tested 80m winlink with #icom #ah705 #ic705 and @powerfilmsolar #lightsavermax @oh8stn #oh8stn #hamradio #qrp

I've just "won" a free 100m reel of RG213. So far this is the ONLY benefit of #Brexit that I've received (as a result of a 4 month limbo in customs en route from UK to Spain). If only this compensated the stress, hassle and cost of all the downsides I'm getting from #Brexit
