Mobile HF

Mobile HF is working well on 10, 20 & (40 with tuning) without any counterpoise.

Here are a few photos.

Inverted V’s and NVIS

Inverted V’s and NVIS antennae’s are my gripes for the me the month or two.  Currently I have a 10, 20, and 40 inverted v’s in the yard along with an 80 meter NVIS ran along the backyard wooden fence about five feet off the ground. On 6/15 I picked up a net and could hear folks from mile city Montana, Cheyenne Wyoming.

I have the 10 meter on a 12 foot painters pole just off camera.  Here next to the picknick table I have a 23 foot painters pole do 20 and 40 meters. You can also see the wooden fence my NVIS is attached to. I am also trying a 160 meter NVIS.  One issue here are all the power lines close by but I am making som contacts.

Side note I heard folks on 10, 17, 20, 40 and 80 meters today🤓

Giving echo link a try

Down loaded EchoLink to my I phone will give it a try.  Just like DMR and fusion etc I call fall back to my analog 2 meter Or HF if the internet goes down.

160 meter NVIS antenna

Here is a shot down part of the fence I put 250 foot wire antenna on at five feet will try it for a few days all of 1.800 is below 2.0 SWR, 1900  not so much.
