  I watched a livestream of one run and that was such an awesome thing to see. Though I’d heard some local hams call it ‘the steam engine’ - bit of a disappointment that it ran with an electric motor after all 😁

  Very nice! Thank you for sharing 👌 I’d imagine the width of the J will vary with tuning? In any case for 70 cm this design would be the thing to go for.

  Thumb-key is good enough that it’s keeping me from switching to Sailfish 😝

  You got me thinking about a roll-up yagi: elements laminated on something that can be rolled up lengthwise and flown like a flag, but with channels at the top and bottom edge that take something to stiffen the ‘flag’ :)

  Will definitely also revisit the J-pole design. Come to think of it, so far the only store-bought antennas I have are on the car. Perhaps a little bit of ethos should be applied here – only DIY antennas for HAM activities. As for the radio, I’m going to try to never charge the battery on anything but the solar panel, so that all of my operating will be independently powered :D Right now it’s on a charger though, to get it to full capacity before the package is finished.

  Thank you for the inspiration!

  Thank you for a wallop of info :D That’ll take a while to take in.

  I’m no stranger to making antennas, been on CB for a while and have built the usuals. I’ve now taken down the CB half-wave dipole and plan to use the nice hangable balun for future portable HF endeavours. Don’t know yet what bands I’d like to have available at home, figured I’d sniff around first :)

  The particular antenna I was asking about is something I couldn’t DIY, it’s proabaly made by laminating stuff together. I guess I’ll try to find the Youtube vid again. I’m of course going to be all over the bands, but it’d be nice to have a quick option for 70 cm.

  We got ‘taste masks’ now that can simulate eating any delicacy, even in slow motion, without a single calorie to burn afterwards. You just scan the food with this wireless scanner.
