Not so great propagation, so I ended up chatting with passers-by. Mike arrived just as I was getting on 40m. 73

81 QSO in 5h on 10/12/15/17/20/40/80m.
I had Mike playing with manual tuner and he chose to tap the coil instead “too much” lol. Met a ham with Advance-level license, he promised he’ll get back to this hobby🧐 You better! 73
Getting intense at W1KBN: last 2 hours of ARRL School Club Roundup! Still trying to get more members with less experience on the air. People love hunting school clubs! Yippee!🥳 – at Boston, MA
QRV @ US-8414
To clear up my mind, l left work early today to do a POTA. 12°C with 30km/h wind. Still better than the last time I was here.

Deploying a 25’ (~8m) whip is absolutely insane, how do you even guy this thing? Every slight breeze gives a heart attack… there has to be a better way to do this😮💨 – at North Andover, MA
POTA QRV @ US-11595
Cloudy, 10°C w/ 40 km/h wind = 3°C windchill. If it gets too cold, I’ll just hide in the truck bed😖 CQ POTA! – at Ipswich, MA
Yes, I do enjoy spending 2 hours on morning commute into my dream city—Boston. Or is it a nightmare?🥲 – at Malden, MA

Wind broke coil with 25’ whip and they landed on my upper lip and slashed my already bad-looking face, ouch.
We switched to end-fed long wire (73’, horizontal) afterwards. Hopefully it’ll get better later! – at Tyngsborough, MA
QRT.
Mike calling double-coil “ridiculous looking”, while I called it “whatever works” plus he literally made these coils! I’ll force him to activate 80m using this setup sooner or later😠. 73 – at Medford, MA
QRV @ US-8390, ATNO for me.
Running off of Mike’s setup today with our back to a busy road and an active railroad. 18°C with light wind. QRZ~ – at Medford, MA

52 QSO in 2h on 17/20/40m.
To mount 17’ vertical antenna on my mast, Mike and I screwed a 3/8” mirror mount onto it. Two counterpoise wires connected to the mount also acted as guy wires (14 AWG). 1st time activating using vertical for me, not bad! 73

132 QSO in 6h on 17/20/40/80m.
Sat by the beach for 30min just to take in the view. Tuning 80m on V-dipole was sheer luck. They even got grills here.. a BBQ is in order maybe🤔️ 73
QRT’d from US-4746, wasn’t any service where we set up…
Told Mike about this secret spot, we decided to try the new coil with 17’ whip. Nice day, medium wind, 15°C.
Mike got his first ever JA QSO with JH1GEX on 17m! What an activation! 73
