We're going to call this part 2 to an activation I did from the same location on 7/6/24 with the Alpha FMJ antenna. In the first video (linked below) I had the optional NVIS element of the antenna staked to the East to direct my signal to the West. In this video, I did the complete opposite. The results? DX from the East I've never had before during a POTA activation with this particular setup. The results were interesting and are compared at the end of the video with the QSO maps from both activations. Also at the end of this video is an NVIS contact with ‪@W0CYC-HamRadioEndeavors‬ on 40m. Enjoy and 73!

This video was recorded on 7/20/24 in US-5702.

Looking into doing POTA into the future! Sure takes patience when trying to listen for QSOs in the noise. Nice work! Congratulations on the first DX from Germany! Cheers and 73 de KF0QNM from Minnesota!❤

I like that battery box, you should bring it with you more often. I would avoid that last guy he's an A$$ Hole, LOL.... Great job John, 73!!
