well done, nice job :-) vy 73 dc5ly

Best way to learn CW...! DE NN2X....

Subscribed. I bought an ic-705 as my first (and only) transceiver with the thought the idea that i would go portable (POTA). Im coming up on my one year ham-versary. I never ended up going portable and stayed at home keeping busy with SKCC stuff. Just got a buddihex a minth ago and took it down due to the harsh buffalo ny winters. Currently i have a zs6bkw up 50' and a 10m dipole because the zs6 not so good on upper bands. I considered a magnetic loop (the chameleon one) to get me through the winter. What do you use at home? How does the alex loop compare? Thanks, i enjoyed watching your video relaxing with my pipe and manhattan, wood stove in garage.

The S meter on my Yaesu is very stingy. It shows a 5 or 6 when it’s a 9. And it shows a 2 or 3 when it’s a 5 or 6.. so I always have to add a couple. :). My SDRuno is spot on.

Nice ... but will it work from a 2nd floor balcony?

Great video Aaron, CW POTA is awesome. 73 Paul KE9BHN

Thanks for the reply Aaron.Great job on your videos.

Does the tripod come with the Alex Loop?

Thanks again Aaron. When you find another backpack for the Alex Loop please let us know. tnx es 72

A morse key a pencil and a piece of paper, thats all you need.

Looks like we have the same style coffee cup! Always enjoy the videos de N2VQd. 73s!

Hi Aaron great video. If your interested we should try to arrange a contact sometime. We're currently in daylight saving time here in Victoria, Australia. I have heard you on 40m before. Next week, I'm off work for a month, so if you'd like to try a DX contact to Australia, feel free to shoot me an email. DE VK3ACU

Aaron, Tnx fer another great video. I can’t believe how fast you tune up that loop. What’s your secret? 😊

You and Thomas and Forrest are so much fun to watch. I love that key really want one! I was at his website yesterday checking out his keys!

First one on 20m 🙂, thanks Aaron.

Hello Aaron. Could you tell us in another video, the format that you use in your transmissions for POTA?

2nd in the line up! Thanks, Aaron. 73 de K4FR

Aaron: You may want to mention to CW operators who are hoping to activate POTA parks to pay attention to the pattern that is used in every contact exchange. I think if they recognize that, it will make it less intimidating for them to venture out the first few times. Lee

Thanks aaron fer sharin - 73 dit dit ps G106?? lol

Choke by the antenna, thank you for this info! That looks like an ABR? I really enjoy your videos Aaron, you have a Bob Ross kinda vibe [in a great way] love to watch you paint with dits and dahs. Best!

terrific job Aaron thanks for the video 73 from kb2uew

My buddy just got one!

Thats a nice little rig with a great display. 73 de 2I0OTW

Thank you for making these Aaron. I don't know much about... most things. 73 Paul KE9BHN

Well Aaron once again I missed you on this one too! it seems my friend Pete. WA2JMG seems to catch you all the time and I keep missing you. but I keep trying so will get into you're log soon I hope thanks for the activations, and best of all the videos on YT. 73 and hopefully we'll CUDTL OM! de Ellis WA1RKS

Every time he changes the color that’s one production run. You always order a new color why I don’t know, but it works.. scott

I have a new version. I had similar issues with audio the first use. I've made some adjustments to some settings and it seems much better now, but not perfect. I used headphones 100% of the time. There are a few 3d printed stands for this radio available on thingiverse or printables. Agreed that it's not a polished CW rig like a elecraft. Still a neat little radio. I've heard the F5BUD firmware fixes some issues and adds features like memory keying.

Nice Activation! as far as a stand for the radio, I have a RAM mount setup for mine. I have the RAM 'claw' that can bite the picnic table or a lawn char arm, then a ball plate to the radio and battery. I have a slightly larger batter that is zip tied to the radio. works good. The setup also can grab my car's brake lever or shifter (in park of course!)

I like the xt60 power cords, although lots of people run the Anderson power poles.

Sup dude. Diggin the radio. Tip on the wire. Twist it together and use some zip ties, or some split-loom.

Nice! Looks great in Blue. What battery pack is that?

thanks Aaron73 dit dit

That's my dream radio. If I can get one used, I'll hop on it.

loud on that radio today thanks

Aaron idk if your experience is similar to mine but I do notice a difference between 5 watts and 10 watts. (Think icom 705 or KX2). I really like that this rig is all band and does 10 watts CW. I’ve had a great time with my FX-4CR thus far. 10 watts at that price, at that size, is unique. I did order an electronic keyer kit from hamgadgets to go with this rig. 73 de KI7QCF

Those little radios are pretty slick. I have the Xiegu 5105 and the audio itself distorts. It sounds a lot like that radio (maybe worse). It sounds just as bad through headphones/external speaker, so it's in the audio chain. I'm tempted to open it up and see if I can add a cap to knock down the high frequencies. I put a piece of tape over the speaker and that helped muffle it, but then I had to turn up the volume and it can distort. It's workable, but gets tiring. No idea if it would help, but maybe that giant power cable is getting some RF into it. Try twisting the wires and see if you still get that audio volume oscillation.

Very cool Aaron. Thanks for sharing your experience. 🤝

It looks very close to the Xiegu 6100 or G 90. Best wishes de N2VQD!

New to ham, and learning the code now to be able to activate some of the local parks on the CW mode. But am curious as to what do you do in regards to you logging? Do you log each qso at the time using your phone or after getting home do you log them and then upload the adrift file to the website? Thinking of using one of the scaled back logging apps for just my POTA activations when I get to that point to make it easier to upload quickly.

Do you have a final verdict yet on the ATU-10 Aaron? I’m looking for a tuner for my two qrp rigs for the odd time that I do not use resonant antennas. Ian VE3LYT

Thanks for the video. That's a nice set-up. I would love to set my rig up here in Cambodia, but the fees are very expensive lol. We plan to use Ham as one of our programs to teach tech in public schools. Kindest Regards, Dan AB3RQ

Great to work you again!!! Mike - K4NYX

Okay, that tuning might be worth the price jump from the older model.

Great video. You got my buddy Mike K4NYX as your first contact. Cheers. W3GTR

Always enjoy your videos Aaron. It truly is amazing what can be used/tuned for an antenna. I run my G 90 from home with an indoor (attic) short G5RV with counterpose wires. Its 1:1 flat on most of the bands and nothing crazy on the others except 160. 73 de N2VQD

GM Aaron, tnx agn for the video. Bob WB6TIS ID.

Goood Morning!

Glad I’m not the only one that need to have Yeti facing me instead of upside down 😂

Love your Icom bag!🎉❤

Nice to make it into one of these, thanks Aaron.
