[Curtis Dude - N1CMD 🛰 @N1CMD]

@JA1BJT This is a nice kit and a great portable antenna. Enjoy!

Glad to see ARISS legacy will be continued to promote STEM!

@filipmelik Yes, in the video you see me hit the “keyer” button on the radio and the button on the radio switch. This came in handy today switching back and forth during QSO’s with various stations. I wish I had done this earlier.

@mwfoutch1 My shack and my workbench, where soldering projects and antenna making occur, are in the same space. The room also doubles as a storage room. It goes a little bit like this; contest, cleanup, project, cleanup, repeat.

@PeoplepixU Thank goodness for this hobby to keep me sane this whole time!

[Curtis Dude - N1CMD 🛰 @N1CMD]

@wa1gov He’s still there just worked him as well CW 💪 😎

Hard for me to photograph, but here is the soldered together elements to a 902 MHz four bay j-pole antenna that I’m making. I’ve never made a j-pole antenna before let alone a four bay version of it.

@LangRecker @ALiteralRabbit @VE5REV Great to get you in the log, thanks for the activation!

[Curtis Dude - N1CMD 🛰 @N1CMD]

@LangRecker If you switch to 40m I can probably reach you from here in NH

[Curtis Dude - N1CMD 🛰 @N1CMD]

@K3TripleR Still run mine today, great radio! Congrats! Hope to get him on the air!
