I take the Intellitron 17 Ft. out to my favorite POTA park here in Georgia for a review and field test. These 17 ' antennas are really popular these days for operating portable. Operate 20M and above without a coil. Steve - Ad4xt

Field testing the Dipole that I built in the previous Video. th-cam.com/video/v1wjuRjOryw/w-d-xo.html A no solder, built out of scrap wood Dipole that performed as well as any dipole that you can buy. A field-expedient temporary antenna build that just may come in handy when away from your workshop. Steve - Ad4xt

A dipole antenna build with limited materials. No center connector / no problem. I came up with this idea a few years ago at Field Day. I have also used it a couple times at FD for to cover the educational bonus points. Steve - Ad4xt

NMO Antenna install at our club picnic. Two Motorola installers mount an antenna on top of a Tacoma truck for club members to see. These guys have lots of experience between the two of them. We call this a parking lot install. Come and see. Steve - Ad4xt

New to POTA hams tackle a pileup. We do this several times a year to mentor our newer hams on navigating a pileup. It can be intimidating the first few times on an activation. Everyone did just fine today. Steve - Ad4xt

Come ride along with us as we activate 9 state parks in Georgia. What a great event to get out and play radio. Jamie K4JDK and I had a blast in the 2nd. annual Ga State Parks on the Air event. We met several hams while roving this weekend. Special thanks to all the organizers of the event. Steve - Ad4xt

Installing a ground rod by hand without renting expensive tools. Water method worked here in Georgia for me. Also a look at the lightning protection I used.

Team Steve & Steve in the CQ 160 ssb contest. Also comparing two 160 antennas. An EFHW set up in an inverted L pattern, and a 160 elevated vertical inverted L with 4 elevated tuned radials. We made lots of contacts this year. Hope we have you in our log. Come take a look. Steve - Ad4xt
