My first portable doublet made me want to build more antennas, so I stocked the small parts that make it easier to keep experimenting.

My first full POTA activation with the KH1 produced 33 CW contacts and revealed useful field shortcuts, a power question, and the limits of its tuner with my 58-foot doublet.

How I built a continuous-wire 58-foot portable doublet, what its first field measurements established, and the reversible experiment I plan to try next.

A shared Florida twofer at Jonathan Dickinson State Park with KO4WTM, 11 CW QSOs on 20 meters, and a close look at a compact EFHW field setup.

A humid Florida hike-in twofer at Ross Prairie with the KX2, a 51-foot end-fed random wire, and 13 CW QSOs across 40, 30, and 20 meters.

Three Rhode Island parks with the KX2: 43 CW QSOs, contest congestion at the first stop, a preventable SWR problem at the second, and a fast saltwater finish at sunset.
