I am now using a Xiegu X6100 on FT8 with a Chameleon CHA F-LOOP 3.0. Am having fantastic results so far. I really like this rig and antenna! 73 - Dave - K8HW

Hello to all,
My name is Alexander UT2AB, I am live in Sumy (Ukraine)
Been a ham since 1994 and UB5ASW was my first call.

I've been an off and on QRPer since the 1970s, when as a novice I used an HW8 (or was it an HW7?) to operate from summits while backpacking all over California long before I knew anything about SOTA (did it even exist then?).

Although I have a legal limit QRO station at home, I still love getting on the air during a backpacking trip with a lightweight QRP CW station - simplicity and fun; and I never fail to make QSOs.

My current setup is a TR-35 that I built from a kit; the entire station weighing about 2.4 pounds.

Welcome aboard. 

Hello,

I have an old ATS3B.1 I haven't used in years. I am dusting it off to start using it as I learn the POTA system. Most HF rigs in this RV campground park hear all of the birdies from the PWM converter chargers. I was first licensed 40 years ago and it is like Rip Van Wrinkle waking up and trying to get back into the hobby again. I am looking at getting an FT-818, but in the near term have built an end-fed half-wave tuner kit and will be cutting some wire soon for picnic table operation.

73,

This was a friend I made out at a potential POTA location, he had many brothers and sisters to keep me company.
