Current HAM bands I am using

Current Ham bands I am using are 80, 40, 20 with hamsticks.  I am trying on 10, 12, 15 and 17 with home made inverted V’s.  I am using the one I built when I got my Technician license a year ago with the President Lincoln 2+ 10 and 12 meter I bought back then. Some days I am hearing folks just have not connected and I have called CQ on 10, 12 will keep trying when I see the bands open and some times just because.

I also built a separate inverted V for use on 10 through 17 meters.  I built it for 10 then added two quick connection’s to also get 17 meters works fine with SWRs below 1.5.  A side benefit I can also lock up 12, 15 meters as well between .6 and 2.2 so added opportunity.


 Current setup with 2 hamsticks off the back ladder, I setup the radio and battery on the table under the canopy when in use outside.
 Here I have my 10 and 12 meter under my 11 meter (cb).

 My all band Xeigu G90.  Below I am trying to set up for digital mode, I am still trying to figure this one out🧐
