Thank you, Jeff for the comment. I am still learning walking styles. I heard packing heavy stuff on the top area of the backpack also helps. There are still many things to learn!
I always enjoy your videos. I will be in Japan again in the Fall so hopefully we can meet up again.

The finding about the antenna box was very interesting. I knew it was important to have above the ground. But the discovery of keeping it off the slope was new for me. Thank you.

The activation in snow was tough but enjoyable. Thanks for the comment, Jeff!
Hello , i use the same antenna system with a 9m carbon fiber pole and a 9:1 transformer. in addition of the paperclip i add a piece aluminum sheet around the pole secured like you with clamps. i did some test with a standard fiberglass pole using a 8.6m wire with the 9:1 transformer and cannot see any difference. As you said the ohmic contact is crucial. my antenna is performing well from 40 up to 10m and i am not using a fiberglass pole since this system is far more convenient. 73s V85NPV Op Didier
@takeshiabe181611 ай бұрын
Good to hear that the carbon antenna is used in Europe! Some stations use Al sheet to get good contact here too. Recently I am using PT antenna instead. Hope to make QSO with you! Merry X'mas.🎉

@@takeshiabe1816 I guess you're right - the usual rule is that you should always buy the best instrument you can afford... but the rider to that is that you should also buy the instrument that sings with you; that's how I bought my Pratten-style flute 30 years ago - it sang with me at the store, when much more expensive instruments felt 'dead' in my hands. This will be different because I can't walk into a store and try them all... so I'll have to go on cost/features... and that possibly means an EWI Solo........
