Hi all,?
I finally got outside with the QMX to do a POTA activation. My objective with this setup is to have a HF kit as small and light as possible to keep in the glove box of my car for impromptu activations or in between kids sports games, practices etc.?
?
QMX is a recent kit built 20-80m version 12v and kit includes:
- 12 ah lithium ion battery?
- kit built Tufteln QRP EFRW 71’ antenna
- Retevis mic (Kenwood jack version modified for QMX)
- thin paracord
- Weaver 12 oz throw weight
- 10m RG316 coax
- Cheap earbuds
- Toiletry bag from some airline?
Antenna was set up as a sloper with radiating end about 25’ in a tree and feed end down to a picnic table and tied to a BBQ. SWR was 1.9. ?Conditions on 20m were good but lots of activity from POTA and the Mississippi QSO party.?
I got my 10 contacts hunting since it was easy pickings. Great contacts and signal reports from all directions and I’m looking forward to many more outings with the QMX!
