    15’ 6” fiberglass boom 4 element wire yagi.

    Took down my light weight 3 element yagi. Replaced it with this one. Seems to be working!!! 25’ off the ground is the best I can do with what I have.

    Xtreme 2018 mic on my Q5N2

    Blackstar fly3 for external amplified speakers?

    Thinking about trying this but I have no clue if I should. I’ve seen people use them with success on a PC. I believe they are 10W each, if I recall.

    My question is will 2-6AH lifepo4s in parallel be sufficient to use my AT-quad 6 for maybe an hour? I have 2–27AH also in parallel but they weigh like 13 pounds. I figured someone here would know. Thanks in advance!!!
