KL7EC outdoors

Name is Jeramy and my call is KL7EC. I got my ham ticket in 2006, previous call KI4NVI. In 2020 I discovered POTA (parks on the air) and been doing activations in Alaska since. My main focus is portable operations in Alaska and the many challenges that come with that. From radio equipment, antennas, boating, fishing and hunting. Follow me on all my Alaska adventures! 73

    Nice very informative video, thanks ! I've read it's basically an NVIS antenna in the horizontal dipole position. Do you think the long version gets it high enough that the elevation angle is significantly lower than the 9' version and results in better DX ?

  • @KL7ECoutdoors
    @KL7ECoutdoors28 күн бұрын

    Only 40M will have NVIS, but the higher you get the better. The dx is great with the long version. I’ve mad contacts all over with it. Thanks for watching my friend, 73

    Thanks for sharing - I learned CW in the Navy some decades ago, and my advice for anyone learning is listen to the sound of each character. Learn similar characters in groups so you can differentiate them, i.e. E, I, S, H; T, M, O; A, U, V; W, J; N, D, B; R, K; F, L; P, X, C; Q, Y; G, Z once you get all the letters digits are easy, and you can start adding punctuation and special characters. I'm a new ham and it's been many years since I used CW, so I expect I would struggle at 10wpm, but getting my HF station together and looking forward to having my first attempt at an amateur CW QSO. Will listen out for you on air soon 73s, John 2M0IOQ

    it looks pretty sturdy but not something I could pack light with, I noticed in your other video you had a TX-500, i would recommend checking out the sotabeam antennas with one of their tactical poles, its pretty dang light. they have 4 versions of the antenna. 20-40 meter, 20-30-40 meter, 20-40-80 meter and 10 though 60 meter (use with tuner)
