1. [TenTec] Portable QRP/SOTA (score: 1): Author: Reed <w4jz@bellsouth.net>; Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2016 17:42:52 -0500; I see several on the list are interested in QRP, in general, plus operating portable. I've been in QRP for over 40 years, mostly on CW then digital. I don't do contest or go looking for DX, but that; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00249.html (9,224 bytes)

[TenTec] Portable QRP/SOTA (score: 1): Author: Reed <w4jz@bellsouth.net>; Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2016 19:23:08 -0500; Well Barry, I guess I haven't hit the magic length to do well with a random piece of wire. I've made contacts, but compared to a dipole or resonant end feed antenna there just wasn't any comparison.; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00253.html (7,444 bytes)

But properly fed is the key. :) The best way to feed a random wire in most portable operations, especially backpacking, is a wire somehow placed sort of vertical, even if it's sloping, terminati; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00254.html (8,705 bytes)

I still have a HW-7 that is functional, and recently bought an Argonaut 515 from a list member. The 515 is light years ahead of the HW-7,; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00255.html (9,190 bytes)

I have done fairly well with a 35ft and 65 ft piece of wire with a nice counterpoise. In the past though I used folded dipoles, using 450 ladder line for the radiator and 30; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00257.html (9,152 bytes)

For the size they really work well. I have 3 here. An old AEA in the attic,; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00259.html (9,495 bytes)

Of course this is nothing for backpackers. My club ran my Argonaut in QRP class (CW Field Day in Germany) usin; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00260.html (11,407 bytes)

You can use RG-174 which is a lot easier to carry as long as the length is not too long to keep lo; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00265.html (8,986 bytes)

Very hard to see. Leave plenty of slack; /archives//html/TenTec/2016-03/msg00267.html (8,177 bytes)
