While you're sitting around waiting for the next big solar cycle, you might
enjoy checking out this story from NASA about old Sol. This was passed onto

Great article, Ron. Nice to see were we fit in the recent cycle.
It was interesting that the graph of sunspot numbers doesn't show even a
hint of the biggest solar storm of the past millennia (Aug 26-Sep 4, 1859).
There weren't a LOT of sunspots, but there were some really BIG ones. Naked

...there is a cure for poor band conditions: a new K3. Even if there are no
signals I can switch the NR on and off. Amazing. I wish every rig had NR
like the K3. I bet that would put a few more people on the bands.

I was surprised to work DX on 10m over the weekend. Several countries
in Europe on 10m, as well as Morocco. Portugal on 6m, my first 6m

My K1 with atu was just recently completed. Like you, I have plans for
portable ops.
So far, I have only ventured out into the back yard with various wires flung
over the trees, hung from the second floor balcony, etc.
The antenna showing the best promise is the classic end-fed half wave Zepp.
Geez!
Please excuse the major typo.
The twinlead is indeed a 1/4 wave - not 1/2 wave!!

I'm interested in using portable end-fed halfwave antennas when I'm
out camping. I have a Norcal BLT tuner that is a absorptive Z-match
type, suitable for this type of high-impedance tuning and loading.
I'm finishing my build of a K2

I've used an end fed dipole (i.e. half wave wire) a lot. I'm currently using
an end fed 80 meter dipole in my fixed-station setup

I'm finishing my build of a K2 right now, just about to add an
internal tuner to it,

I built the three radios in the order listed. KX-1 goes together quickly, but
is a little more challeging in a couple of tight spots than the K1. The K2 just
requires more time. As you well know, nothing is difficult, you just have to
put in the time.
No matter what, don't get in a hurry, just
