with all that water, you may need to trade in the tank for a boat.

We've been getting a lot of that rain up this way in North East Texas. Lake Tawakoni is right up there on it's level. Thinking about hitting Tawakoni State park here in the next couple of days for POTA

To keep the top cover near the mast, 3D-print a retaining ring with a string to tie to the cap. Eazee-peazee.

@TankRadio 2 месяца назад

Great tip!

@radiotests 2 месяца назад

Zip tie and some braided copper or superline would save the time b working out the details, print. Etc..

@W4EMB 2 месяца назад

Frank, look up a "tiki torch stake" for holding the mast in open ground. I have the SOTA beamcarbon 6.. I used 550 to hold my lid in place ..

Look at a Stuaff (parklamp)clamp around $2.28. You can pick it up at The Wilson Company locally. I wish I could send you a picture and all the antennas I use them on.

@EricFullwood 2 месяца назад

Did you mean Stauff?

@N5XHIworkshop 2 месяца назад

My German spelling is not too good...lol

@N5XHIworkshop 2 месяца назад

Yes, I use the Stauff clamp to install the diy arrow j-pole antenna to my tower and 1-1/4 TV mast. They would work great to install a tent stake to the pota 20 push-up mast.

I already have a DX Commander 10 meter mast, and from Spiderbeam I have 2 of the 7 meter, a short pack 10 meter, the 12 meter, and the 18 meter... my wife said no more masts... she doesn't care what it's made of! Oh the humanity....

@TankRadio 2 месяца назад

Each mast fill an unique roll in your radio life. Thats why this one covers the 20ft perfectly

@chrisnmichelle0218 2 месяца назад

@TankRadio but the wife just doesn't understand... there's always my birthday though! Lol, seriously, I like the look of this thing!

@davenewmyer3735 2 месяца назад

Did that couple nearby say anything to you? Maybe one should POTA in pairs, or if alone, from their vehicle. Stay safe! 73 de n0km

@TankRadio 2 месяца назад

Any radio can be a qrp station, just turn the power down. then we are playing the same game. But it doesn't matter what radio you use. As long we are having fun

Height not Heigth..... It seems as though there are a lot of Americans that pronounce this word incorrectly.

@TankRadio 2 месяца назад

interesting point. i will have to thinkon that one

@AnthonyEarl Месяц назад

It is not just a new colloquialism. It was in fact the Old and Middle English term for the quality of being high for many centuries (under various spellings) before height entered the language in the 16th century,1 and the newer form didn't achieve its modern prevalence until the late 19th century.
