POTA CW Activation with Yaesu FT-891 & EFHW Antenna

Step into the world of Parks on the Air with me as I activate a scenic location using CW and the Yaesu FT-891 at 20 watts. Watch as I send and receive Morse code—perfect for practicing your copying skills! I’ll also dive into the details of my EFHW antenna setup, featuring a 49:1 transformer from Sparkplug, and demonstrate how I deploy it quickly and efficiently in the field. If you’re a fan of low-power operations, CW, or outdoor radio adventures, this video is packed with insights and inspiration… and a few mistakes.
