Setting up my buddistick clamp

Oscar was enjoying the break from cold weather

Just starting out. Yaesu FT817-ND with my homemade LiFePO4 battery (yellow). It's 11.1V and 3300mAh. So far I haven't used more than 800mAh during an activation, so it should be good for several.

Buddistick vertical set up in background for 20 meters, using the smallest coil, 2 11" arms and a stainless whip. I was able to drape the ground radial over rock with no problem.

MFJ tuner helpful for getting antenna tuned. I'm saving for something smaller.

APRS radio in background. Tested a new MFJ half-wave extendable antenna today. Also had a few QSOs using a rollup dual bander
