From a Rockmite newbie, does the current version of the?Rockmite ][ - 10M come with the????I would say no, but after a good 10-minute search, the ?is the only PwrEff Mod that doesn't show up in the side menu as the 80-15M versions do. I thought I'd ask the question before I asked about which enclosure and keyer chip was available and/or recommended, etc. A one-button to-order all of the above would be nice as well, but I won't keep over-taxing my welcome. ;-)
For those hating to install radials for a counterpoise to their portable vertical or EFHW antenna, I have had good luck throwing two 48"x 84" aluminum window screens on the ground connected via two alligator jumpers. I am also testing a version that uses a Faraday cloth of similar dimensions, easier to fold into a bag and throw out quickly for a POTA activation. Since I hate to use more than one or two counterpoise radials during an activation, I was pleasantly surprised that the aluminum screens presented a much better VSWR bandwidth than 2 radials, depending on the ground conductivity. Another limitation is that the antenna feed-point is best within 17" of the ground surface, but more testing is needed. Happy to comply, when I can. I am testing a new cloud-based video editing software so I do not have to use the clunky MindMovies software anymore. Looking forward to playing more radio ...
