My Weeks in Radio
- French Creek State Park (US-1355)
- All FT8, 1-2W.
- Tried PSK, but no one responded.
- 80M EFHW, 130ft
- Built a 64:1 unun for it to help match better than the 49:1.
- Resonant in many places, maybe need tuner in one band.
- Customizing Allstarlink node to make it easier to manage.
- New R1CBU firmware for my X6100.
- Getting tempted about the zbit or sbit, but the X6100 scratches that itch for being able to customize it.
