⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice on getting back into the hobby?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Try listning in on the local repeaters, and if they are active, getting a cheap HT or a mobile rig will let you keep in touch with other hams around you. Keep practising CW (I’m a fairly new ham and all my HF contacts has been on CW). You can use the IZ2UUF app for that. There is another app called Morse Chat which you can use to chat with others using CW and it’s fairly active. If going portable interests you, POTA and SOTA will be another activity you can lookup on. Have fun. 73!

I use my mag loop indoors. It’s a 40 to 17 meter band loop, but as you say its a pain to tune, even with the lovely built-in analyzer in the G90. I’ve set it at 7.028 (FISTS CW calling frequency) and I can move a bit up and down without messing up the SWR. I can make contacts around the UK and sometimes across to the continent.
