What will be here?

As the new sun spot cycle begins, my radio activity will increase. I like dx work although my ground mounted AEA IsoLoop antenna and 100 watt IC-735 faces tough competition in the pile ups.

I recently bought a FT-817 for portable QRP work and have started to look at Buddipole and home brew alternatives. I am beginning to think that a Buddipole is a better--and lower cost--alternative given the limited altitude of the dipole.

I also have interest in SDR and software. Several unbuilt kits purchased several years need some soldering.
