Thanks to you and Ed for that idea on the umbrella! I just bought an umbrella tall enough for me stand under and had PVC collar and large C clamp. Will try it on my next activation!
Nice work Liddi, I’m going to try and Hunt you in the future on my first built 20 meters Full Wave antenna I just put together today. Hopefully I will get confident enough, I will take it out in the field and start activations myself. Thanks for making the video, helps me with my CW learning journey N3EIE
Nice waterfront area 🌊. Sorry about your umbrella. It matches all your gear, including your shirt. You got N2PPI 🥳! I'm jealous! You also have nice little friendly iguanas 🦎. One day we'll do a P2P.
Great activation, Lidi! Nice DX. You mentioned the spacing before the 'k'. Personally, I think sending a 'k' causes more confusion than it's worth. Many would disagree. BK works well for 'break' or 'over' during an exchange or qso. When calling cq, my callign is the last thing sent. Cq N4AAJ. Part of the beauty of our hobby is that there is no one 'right way' to do it :) Definitely agree with you though, if youre gonna use the 'k', throw some extra space in there... 'k'! 73 de N4AAJ
Yes! It was a contact from Belgium. 🇧🇪 I was happy to get him in the log again! I checked my log at home and I had made QSO with him twice earlier this year. 😃

That's awesome! Ed gave me the idea and tutorial over zoom. It is great! Hope to get you soon on the air.
What a beautiful spot, loving your best practice is on the air quote. 73 M3VWN

Thanks Lidi way to go and great way to deal with adversity. Stupid umbrella!
Thanks for watching

I cannot wait to make QSO. Congrats on your ant build. 🎉
RIP ⛱️ 😂
Code leaves my brain too! Glad I’m not the only one. 😊
Great video, Lidi! (No shade 😋)
Haha yes RIP 🪦 ⛱️
Nice job, Lidi. Too bad the umbrella gave up the ghost. I need to go there one day.

And a little space between T and U so they don't become X. Nice video! I enjoyed the whole thing over my morning coffee. HPE CU 73 DE NØIP
