I really enjoy your videos. I recently got an MTR4B and have been doing tent activations all summer. I’m a fairly new op and was out camping recently when I made a QRP DX QSO from my tent at 5am on 40m Utah to Australia. It’s the highlight of my POTA career! Haha. 73 de KI7QCF
@@Utahforrest thanks Forrest! Nice DX!! The next time I’m out I’ll give 40 meters a listen early in the morning for DX. I’m really liking the Mountain Topper. When I was making this video I was reminded of how quiet the receiver is. Hope to hear you on the air sometime. It would be great to work p2p, mtr to mtr. 73 Ron
I just got an MTR-4bv2.3 on the very last release last week. I am new to CW ops again after 40 years. Have not used it since I was a Novice when I was 12-13 years old. Hoping this can get me back at it. My copy speed is pretty slow but can send pretty good. I enjoy your videos, and @Utahforrest I enjoy yours's as well. Love the content! keep it coming. 73 de KA9MIC
@@Mr3bairs Hi Jeff, thank you. I’m really liking the MTR. Have you got a key, power, earbuds and antenna sorted out yet? I need to work on my copying, too. And sending. I found (and still find) the slower speed events helpful like the weekly K1USN slow speed test and the monthly SKCC weekend sprint. Lately I’ve been working through the CW Academy material on my own and I’m thinking of signing up for the September session if I can make it work with my schedule. Lots of resources on the internet to help with code. Not like the old days of practicing with a record 😀 Have fun with your new Mountain Topper! I’m looking forward to seeing you on the air for a cw qso. 73 Ron
@@ve3sif Thanks Ron, hope to get you in the logs soon. I do have the BamaKey TP-III already and have been using it. I also have the 3ah Talent Cell, and a pair of old Sony headphones. I will probably use the LEFS 40-10 that I already have for POTA. I live in an HOA so I have been putting up a 17' whip in the backyard with my FT-891 and that has done well. I am a member of LICW but have not been to many sessions yet. I hope to get out and do an activation soon. I have several state parks close by that have good areas to setup in. Once again thanks for the reply and look forward to more videos. 73 Jeff
