So it’s been a while since I posted here, nearly a year! That’s not to say I’ve been sitting on my hands. Since my last post I built a QMX, activated a park in Italy, completed a few more POTA awards, and built a few more filters.
For Christmas I got a DX Commander and plan to use it for Field Day. I spent some time color coding the elements and making it easier to get on the air. I have some final tuning to do, but liking the antenna. I decided to use zip ties instead of the heat shrink tubing due to being in Florida and the very hot days we’ve been having.
I’ll post some contest reports from ARRL International Digital Contest and ARRL June VHF Contest in the next few weeks. Spoiler alert: I more than doubled my score from the 2023 ARRL June VHF Contest!
