  1. Purposely took my #FT817 / #Z817 to use with my #KM4CFT 9:1 UNUN and Random Wire to my Antenna Proving Ground during pretty bad #HFband conditions. I had a short 20M CW #MorseCode #QSO with LJ #KI5GTR. Since it worked today, it will work under most any condition. HOORAY!

  2. Days like this I could stay all day and operate portable and take in the majestic surroundings of this #pota site #hamradio #amateurradio #ft817 #qrpradio #qrp #z817.

  3. Despite early morning #geomagneticstorm #qrp prevailed using #FT817 with #Z817 into Random Wire during morning #AmateurRadio #Hamradio Digital #winlink #FT8 & incomplete #SSTV demonstration at #POTA #parksontheair site.

  4. #solarstorm is bad this morning on all #hfbands making for a failed #pota #parksontheair activation. No worries, just blessed to enjoy the freshness of the early morning along #beargrasscreekstatenaturepreserve #amateurradio #hamradio #morsecode #qrpradio #ft817 #qrp #z817

  5. I had a #dremmittbrown moment this morning. "It works" with my #randomlengthwireantenna made of 26 AWG ultralight Stealth wire from #dxengineering. Right out of the gate 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Rob #wc1n 28.5' radiator with 28.5' counterpoise Tuned 1.1:1 with #z817 #autotuner on 40,30,20,17,15,12 and 10 meters. It's a keeper. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode

  10. Its a Hawaiian shirt Friday for this tropical type weather for this morning's #parksontheair #pota #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode #qrpradio #ft817 #qrp #z817 #autotuner #ssb activation from K-7956 Beargrass Creek State Nature Preserve

  11. I've been experimenting a couple of months in finding a workable configuration using my pilot kneeboard with my #FT817 & #Z817. Finally found a comfortable setup for #POTA #parksontheair #qrp #qrpradio #AmateurRadio #hamradio

  12. All of this went into that , this way. #qrpradio #ft817 #amateurradio #hamradio #randomlengthwireantenna #z817 #autotuner #lifepo4battery 3Ahr 12v battery #putikeeg mini #straightkey 9:1 unun mic 174 coax 100' throwline & weight Sony recorder & Thermos plus notepad pens,multi tool, backup paddle 2 turtle doves and partridge in a pear tree.

  13. @bhosmer @Tuftelndotnet That's definitely correct. I hadn't used my #qcxmini pair in awhile. Today I'll use my versatile #ft817 with #z817 #autotuner and #randomlengthwireantenna with 9:1 unun

  14. Pardon the pun. I'm no longer a #doubtingthomas #K4SWL @QRPerDotCom Had a #dremmettbrown moment today with speaker wire antenna with 9:1 unun into #ft817 & #z817 #autotuner "It works, It works." Tuned 1.1:1 on 40-10 meters Another antenna in my arsenal. #amateurradio #hamradio
