Happy New Year Everyone!

Antenna here is... (always changing).

When the temperature is above 48° (9°C), I generally operate outdoors in some form or fashion.

The more permanently-mounted base antenna at home is a 29 foot vertical, #18 wire on a Jackite pole with 24 ground radials laid on top of the short Spring lawn cut short. The radials are #17 aluminum electric fence wire (not steel), each 14 feet long. I feed it with a remote mounted SGC-230 tuner.

I have been using a Cootie key lately and really enjoy manually sending Morse code. Sometimes I go for a walk /PM with the KX2 using a homebrew whip and coil for 10-40m with a trailing wire.

I just got back from Texas where I operated pedestrian mobile during 2024 Christmas holiday week. I have worked KI4DEF from Colorado, San Diego, and now Texas, all with my KX2 and /PM. He likes to run 1 Watt from his K3.
