QSL Card Policy
As a matter of policy I don't send or receive QSL cards. This keeps the overhead of the hobby manageable. Thank you for your understanding.
If you want contact me through email, please send your message to my_callsign @ proton . me, where you can guess which part to replace with what.
About me
Relatively new ham. Meshtastic and MeshCore were my gateway into getting licensed.
Active (almost) daily on UHF repeater PI2LDN.
Equipment
Home
VHF/UHF transceiver: Retevis RT95
Antenna: Comet 24KG dual band antenna, on a mag mount on a 50 cm diameter steel plate on my balcony
While one would expect this equipment in a car, it works very well for my situation.
Car
VHF/UHF transceiver: Retevis RA89, in a HYS cup holder HT mount
Speaker microphone: Radioddity RS22
Antenna: TengKo NL-R2 dual band antenna, on a trunk lid mount
Another example of a setup that works well, despite the HT not necessarily being intended for this use.
