/P (kind of) in the garden...

Had some spare time this morning so setup the Buddipole (with a repaired whip as I'm still waiting for the new delivery from the USA) in the garden. It was a nippy 4 deg's with a bit of a breeze. Didn't use a tuner, just used the MFJ antenna analyser to ensure lowest SWR on the Buddipole.I was specifically listening out for EC1CW on 14.285 as he was due to activate EA1/CR-001 - Buño, but I didn't hear him. Maybe another day. However, his SOTA patches are great! I bought two off him and the quality is superb. See below.

The FT-857D and associated gubbins in the garden today...
