I started using HF in late 2024 and while I have enjoyed trying lots of different things, once I found SOTA I was hooked.

Portable radios:

• Elecraft KX2
• QMX 60m-15m, QMX 20m-10m
• LNR MTR3b (LED) and MTR3b v4
• Icom IC-705

Portable antennas I use or have experimented with:

• EFHW (regular, trapped, loaded, linked)
• Dipole
• Moxon (10m)
• Random wires
• Vertical whips
• Vertical wires

I also use a Yaesu FTDX10 at home with a 40m sky loop antenna.
