 I've had adventures all through the last year. I will update them.

10 Dipole revolution

When I was demonstrating Ms B how to measure and build a dipole I did't realise it'd dominate my usage!  This was before we built the 20m which also made a massive impact. It also helped that we had built the dipole just as 10 openings were starting. Right now in early September 10m and 6m are slowly dying so 20 is truly dominating my ratings. It is still the 2nd most popular band here.

It's hard to see but there's a 9-band HF/VHF/UHF antenna tied to the back of the bike. In the end I didn't use this, just used a 2/70cm dual bander, that worked well too.

Dipole build day

 Ms B and I measured and built a 20m dipole to hang between the front door and the kitchen door in our corridor.  It works flawlessly. SWR is < 1.5 w/o a tuner, it receives reasonably well and it has revolutionised my 20m here. We also built another one which was measured incorrectly but I'll be measuring and cutting that for 17m at a later day.
