Great job. Most of the people you worked seemed to need more practice. But you did great om. Stick with it !!

[@LB8IJ]

Tnx. I think POTA is a great way to practice CW.

I love my FT-891 for portable. I usually run 20 or 50 watts and 100 when absolutely necessary!

[@LB8IJ]

Realy happy with my choice as well! I usualy bring only a 9ah lifepo so 100w is a bit to much. I start around 20w and turn upp after the initial pilup dies down..

@@LB8IJ Light battery is good. I may reduce from 36 AH to 12 AH. That would handle the occasional 100 watts and give me plenty of time at 20 watts.

Excellent radio, can't agree more. What antenna?

[@LB8IJ]

At this activation I used a linked dipole 20-10m.

LiFePo battery 30 Ah are welcome - to full output power! 73!

[@LB8IJ]

Yes, that would be nice. For now i’m using a 9ah and usualy 20w out.

Øystein, nice video and scenery too! What is the table and where did you get it please? 73

[@LB8IJ]

It’s a folding table made of aluminium and streched fabric as tabletop. Bought it at jula: www.jula.no/catalog/fritid/friluftsliv-og-camping/campingmobler/bord-og-stoler/campingbord-021699/ maby there is something similar available in North America? I’m realy pleased with it! 73
