Thanks! I used the integrated tuner in my KX2. Worked perfectly.

I actually intended to make these proper POTA activations, but I couldn't figure out the park identifier due to lack of cell service, and I also didn't bring anything for VHF to try doing so over APRS.

Next time I guess.

A buddipole has been on my list for a while, but as you said the KX2 is really good, and happily tunes even the worst of my antenna experiments. I've made contacts with the output of this radio tied directly into a grounding rod and nothing else before.

On this particular trip, I had my antenna at a perfect 1:1 the whole time.

I'm pretty bad at sticking to a set list of topics. I like to just write about whatever is interesting me at the moment. Lots of semi-how-to-style posts where I end up explaining how to do the things I find interesting.
