Ham Sticks for my radio

You can see my two ham sticks going up my ladder, 20 meter on the right and 40 on the left. The 40 is shorter right now because I am still working on tuning it.  While my inverted V dipole let’s me reach 3000 plus miles, I have only reached a little over 1300 with the 20 meter ham stick to date.

Finally a full back shot of our site at 7:30 am.  Some parks frown on big radio antennas so I will try to keep mine on the small side (ham sticks).
