Quick POTA with my mish mash antenna and wowzers RF noise!

I had to run out to ship some packages so I decided to grab a quick POTA and officially test out my pieced together antenna. I ran out of the house, forgot my external battery and grabbed the wrong coax, but my suffering from OOPS (Overt Over Preparedness Syndrome) I at least had coax in my emergency kit in my truck.
Wait until you hear the RF noise from a transformer near my house. Holy toledo!

I appreciate all the testing you do--truck on/off, grounded/ungrounded, etc. I like that tripod. I've had good results with that antenna at 5W too.

Nice to see that new antenna setup worked good for you! 73!

Nice antenna setup. I'll have to make that antenna and try it out as well. I use my Shokz Bluetooth headset with my Icom 705 and it works really well. 73 KN3A

Roughly. I wasn't real precise.
