Just finished loading KY-0032 POTA log and my HF ZF2AE/ZF8 log from Little Cayman. I managed close to 400 contacts from EK99wp. I am now on Grand Cayman. I will look at some POTA locations over the coming days. Happy July 4th to my US ops.

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

Now. 7.207 SSB pota

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

CQ POTA 14.250 KY-0033

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

On 10m FT8 now

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

The POTA33 is up but the wind is giving it a work out. Tuning up ok on most bands. I'll try to get on after FD and lunch. 15m is smoking hot here in EK99wp. I'll probably try FT8/FT4. This will not be POTA activation today. TTUL 73 ZF2AE/ZF8

@N4AKV_ @AA5UK I decided not to bring the gear this year to keep the weight down. I have scuba gear too. Next time I go back and with more live sats I'll bring the radios.

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

Heading to the Cayman Islands. I will be on Little Cayman through July 3rd. There are new sites on LC and I hope to activate my first Pota from there. From 7/3 to 7/11 I'll be on Grand Cayman and hope to activate a few par. Follow me on X @AA5UK and @ZF2AE. Sry no sats.

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

@W8LR_Jerry 😭 Love those radios!

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

@hb9wdf Looks like Buddy Dive Resort! Love that place. Been way too long since I was there last time. Grest place for night diving too.

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

@k5zm_ @KF7Romeo DX Engineering still showing Feb 5th, I'll believe it when I see it.

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

@ve3hls Sorry for your loss. Remember the good times you had together.

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

@KN4YZY_Corey Look at coaxial stub filters as a cheap alternative. Here is some good reading: https://t.co/gbNG8jovvj

[Adrian Engele @ZF2AE]

@mwfoutch1 Topic was covered years ago on X. Word from the manufacturer was that you can run more power and many have had success even over 10W SSB. Don't remember the exact power number. I have killed one by running 100W FM. For that power level a MFJ or Diamond duplexer is better.

@CarstenGrn1 @flo_0_ @_XE1L @ba1pk Anything else is just noise that brings no value to the QSO. This will streamline the contact flow.
