Yes. I figured we could do schedule 1 in the first post. I'm hitting up the 40m and 20m calling freqs now to see how I'm getting out on psk reporter

I need to build another coax for my portable kit, so I setup the 10 thru 20 whip without having to pull down by 40m dipole off the mast.

I am also going to do a test of running my 40m dipole N/S like usual at about 30’ and then a random wire over the top going E/W up at 33’…….. see how angry it all gets.

Otherwise it is too much doing all the band changes portable.

I use an eft trail friendly 10/20/40 and I keep up a g5rv in the inverted v config. Something to be said for a multiband wire antenna if you have the space.

I have multiple antennas for that very reason. If I am going to be somewhere for a while, I will put up a couple of poles with an efhw, and a random wire. I can also set up multiple verticals from 40-10m with a coil and 17' whip. For 20-10 just need a whip and spike mount.
I have considered a rybakov antenna since I have tuners in all my radios. I think 40m would be better with 4 10m radials rather than his 6 5m radials.

I intend to build an experimental 27' Rybakov this weekend camping.

I probably  won't make it tonight, but I think another member will be on. You guys can choose whichever works the best for you guys.

Haven't made the last few nets. The time usually aligns with family dinner time. Anyone looked into VarAC ?  I have it installed and I believe operational.
