Messing around with the Xiegu G106 and the Comet toybox antenna.
Got it running FT8 at work on a battery. Seems like 20m is dead, I have 2 radials attached, may need more. It’s up on a tripod about 9’-13’ and I’m getting out but can’t hear that many stations calling back.
Hey, it’s all good. Main part is I’m having fun. All fits in an ammo box except the tripod and coax. Pictures show power consumption. Hasn’t dipped much after 4 hours either. I could go 2 weeks like this!
