@thetechprepper1 Thanks! Helpful.

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@thetechprepper1 Great video on the TPA-857. Q: Does the PRC-117G leave any additional room? Or, best/only add is through molle add-ons? Thx!

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@akimmerly Sometimes space (or looking to be unobtrusive). Like the 1/4 wave vertical idea. Thx.

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

Advice for a compact (carry/install) portable HF antenna (#pota, #sota, sometimes >25W) where don’t have space for EFHW/pole? Know will be some compromise but need compact. Buddistick alternative? Loop maybe (but maybe too power limited)? #hamr

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

Crazy to #sota with an FT-857+battery? Thinking about it.

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@WQ9F_Ham_Radio Curious what radio you have in the case. . .

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@KD0FZT https://t.co/mZ3AnfiiYv is a bit easier to navigate?

Great little article about amateur radio relevance in 2020... https://t.co/YrQuZzic8S

@KangaSales Stay safe.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but. . . How many of these fires are being deliberately set? Extremely dry and windy, yes, but something’s very odd. . .

[Central OR Fire Info @CentralORFire]

We're in a National Fire Planning Level 5 meaning resources are very limited. #FrogFire Communications Unit Leader Jason Berman explains how the comms unit used Vietnam-era parts, copper pipe & a lot of ingenuity to create an antenna to capture radio traffic across the fire.

Crater Lake, OR - where I was yesterday. 4 #sota 8-pointers around the rim, if only I’d been prepared #hamradio

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@KB1HQS I’m way behind but. . . Anyone know this early/pre-release how it compares to the KX3 in terms of receiver performance, etc.?

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

It should not be legal for my son to cook bacon in the next room while I’m working virtually!

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

Older tech, yes, but is the 818ND one of the better #QRP #sota options for SSB “under” ~$700? #hamradio

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@KC7ZXY @N8XRV @VE3LDJ And another. We all agree)

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

Who’s using just a 9V with their #lnrprecision #mtr3b? Lower power but light and easy? #mountaintopper #hamradio #sota

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@N6DNM @km1ndy Thx!

[AC7OR (Dave Friesen) @AC7OR]

@N6DNM @km1ndy Very interested in details on the radio, split to RSP, etc. if you have a link. . .
