Pairing the Penntek TR-45L and Chelegance MC-750 for a super short POTA activation! 

I purchased one from DXE a month ago and I can’t be happier with it. Very easy to tune, the marks on the whip are spot on. With this system I have explored other bands. Thanks for the video K7WHN

Awesome video as usual Thomas. I have been following your videos for a month or two now. I am in the process of relearning Morse Code and I have been using your POTA Activation Videos as part of my "training" ...attempting to follow along as you send and receive your QSO's. I am starting to gain some proficiency, and every day I am able to pick out more and more ow what is being sent...it's finally starting to gel. As an aside, I learned Morse Code at 5 WPM to get my General ticket many years ago. The kick star for me was that I recently purchased a KX-2 "shack in the box" and I am now motivated to get up to 15-20 WPM. Watching your videos is truly motivational! Keep them coming. Thanks and 72, Chip (KL7CA)

Fun Video! Amazing how precise you are able to work with this "plastic spoon key"! Hi, hi,...

I started making coffee and thought "let's see if there's some new Thomas" and I open my RU-vid app to a lovely TR-45

woohoo! RU-vid famous! lol. 2nd qso on your log that day, happy to have worked you Thomas, great setup! Love that antenna design. I need to look into one of those!

Enjoyed, Thanks for sharing.

Short and sweet, I need to bring out my TR-45 soon, I love the side tone and keying and well just everything about that Radio. Yes making and drinking coffee while watching this video, about to go let the chickens out of they coop

Another great contact, Thomas! This one was especially fun for me after watching this since I remember I was using my TR-35 next to my work computer. 5W both ways… Michael - N7CCD

Always good to watch one of your videos before I head out to do some POTA- I am actually planning on taking my new Yaesu FT-818nd for it's maiden voyage. A bit cold out so I will probably have to activate in my car. I am planning on showcasing how to spot using APRS. (also considering writing this activation up in the hopes that you will accept it as a guest post

Great Tom thankyou 73 Rob G3RCE

Well, have you seen Michaels touch paddles made from carrots?.

Speed contacts at dusk! Thanks for the inspiration. What is the gauge of coax you’re using? Did it come with the antenna? A resonant vertical would be awesome. de KI7VLV

How does the MC-750 compare to the Buddistick????

I enjoyed watching it~ HNY 2023 de HL1KKC
