Every summer I install an inverted L antenna on a 20 m pole for all shortwave bands.
The wire runs around the glass-fibre reinforced plastic pole, then it runs to a tree five meters above ground and then to another tree.
SWR on 20 m is 1:1,
SWR on 30 m is 1.5:1 and so on.
I used my old MFJ-998 antenna tuner for 60 m (10 W) and 160 m (100 W) as well, but now it works without it.
I use an IC-7300 for shortwave.
The Diamond X-300 is good on 2 m and 70 cm with an IC-T70E.
I use a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery for some contests and portable.
In 2024, my son gave me a LoRa Heltec esp32 V3 Meshtastic radio as a present. I soon bought two Heltec V3 boards transmitting 158 mW on 433 MHz with a Semtech SX1262. And I installed the firmware for MeshCom from https://oe1kfr.com/esptools/ using Google Chrome. And the MeshCom app on my Android smartphone.
Only with my roof antenna could I receive stations! I also had direct connections in LoRa CSS mode! You can also configure a gateway to the Internet (I don't have Hamnet), then it just works like Echolink ...
Pse qsl via the bureau!
