Alper<p>Frustrating <a href="https://mas.to/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hamradio</span></a> outing today. First my throw bag snagged into a branch and I had to cut my line. I tried my bag with my breakfast in it as a throw weight, messed everything inside. Gave up and tied the antenna where I can reach.</p><p>My almost paralel low <a href="https://mas.to/tags/randomwireantenna" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>randomwireantenna</span></a> coupled with <a href="https://mas.to/tags/qrp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>qrp</span></a> power levels did not radiate anything. I simply abandoned the mission and headed back to <a href="https://mas.to/tags/qth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>qth</span></a>. 😥</p><p>My poor cute throwbag, you will be missed...</p>
Alper<p>Another semi successful <a href="https://mas.to/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/fieldday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fieldday</span></a>. I meant to try my new 10.8m <a href="https://mas.to/tags/randomwireantenna" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>randomwireantenna</span></a> and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ARDOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ARDOP</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/pat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pat</span></a> but apparently living in a mega city with buildings and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/rf" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rf</span></a> pollution makes things hard. Barely connected OE5XIR and HB9AK with 10 watts on 20 and 30 meter. 4 out of 5 packets fail to decode and connection drops. Good side my linked dipole and random wire rocks 😎 lets get a little higher ground and try again...<br /><a href="https://mas.to/tags/amateurradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amateurradio</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/qrp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>qrp</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/qqrp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>qqrp</span></a></p>

Alper<p>Dipoles? <br />Where we are going we don&#39;t need dipoles...</p><p>Today I learned a lot about <a href="https://mas.to/tags/impadence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>impadence</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/transformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>transformers</span></a>.
