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.
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.
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!
I have noticed today Spain does not know what continent they are. Have been calling for Asia as I just need that to complete all continents, and Spain just keeps responding back
Made contact with Cuba today. He said hurricane really did not do much damage there, just knocked down their power grid for 36 hours. He was very surprised that I asked about the hurricane, as no one else has asked him how they are doing after it passed through.
