How has your boxes been holding up? I am in the process of finishing up my man pack that houses a Yaesu FT891.

I decided I wanted to do a small pack to house my HF radio, tuner, antenna, and mast that I use for portable op. Included in this pack is: Yaesu FT891 with Portable Zero rails LDG Z-100A antenna tuner (piggybacked onto the 891 with webbing from Portable Zero) SOTA Beams Carbon 6 Mast with stake...

So far we have canned 21 quarts of tomato juice, 12 quarts of vegetable soup, 8 quarts of salsa, 8 pints of salsa, 4 quarts of pasta sauce, and 5 quarts of jalapeños. Still have more jalapeños to put up, and still want to do several more quarts of pasta sauce.

Been playing with my off grid / portable set up. Have a 100 watt solar panel I can use as well. Antenna is a Wolf River Coils vertical, but have been playing with wire antennas as well.

Going to be adding a dedicated computer to my shack. Has anyone had any dealings with the mini pc's? Wanting a computer that I can use for logging, and radar software. Want to be able to have a minimum of two monitors. What would you recommend? I've thought about the mini pc due to it's size...

Seeing this reminds my I gotta figure out what's going on between my computer and my SignalLink, was working fine, and now computer isn't talking to the SignalLink. Line in and line out are set properly as well.

Looking good! I can't wait until we get out of this rental house so I can actually have more room to stock a few things.

No HF for me this evening. Currently monitoring the local net as we have active tornado warnings

I bounce back and fourth. I have learned my radio talks further than I thought. I have learned theres a lot on 11 that just likes to ignore you. As soon as I got o 10 my mind was blew at how far I could actually talk.

I've been getting So Cal every time I play on 11 meters. Not going to lie I have been neglecting it as I have been playing on 10 meters. Way more organized and can learn more there lol.

Now that California is open for me I have got to get linked up with you on the airwaves!

Maybe one day I will get Japan! lol. I played for a bit, then decided to add some more programming to my DMR ht, so that is what I am currently doing

I am really liking this antenna. Super simple to set up, and packs down very small. I am having better luck out of it than my base vertical that is 34 feet to the tip! Hardly any noise level exists when using this antenna!
