Do I want to bring a radio with me during my drive to Massachussets?

@dc7ia It's kind of interesting. The fact that the computer can sit and make contacts without me being there makes FT8 unappealing to me.

The technology is cool, though.

The bad: only 4 QSOs during the Cookie Crumble QRP Contest.

The good: this was my shack today

Currently this is the only antenna I have capable of handling 100W since the SOTAbeams bandhopper is dead and the coax I have for the ones I've built is apparently bad too.

Super Antenna MP1. It's actually a pretty decent antenna and I've worked with it.

Are you ready to Crumble?!

Testing out my setup for the contest next week!

The worst part of building any kit

Winding toroids is just no fun

Radio plans for the weekend include finishing my 17-20-30-40 linked inverted vee (it's tuned on 17 and 20 so far, 30 is still a little high), and then building the QRPGuys 20-30-40 portable vertical to use with my MTR3b in the Cookie Crumble QRP Contest on 10th June. (For those who are close enough, I'll also be using CC to do an activation for POTA and KFF).
