Hi folks, N6ARA Electronics has been affected by the strong winds and fires in Los Angeles this week. While everyone is safe and our homes are still standing, we have been without power for over 48 hours now. All pending orders are currently on hold. Updates to come.

Rev B of the TinyGawant antenna has arrived! New features include a switch for operating between 20-10m and 40-30m, and an integrated SWR indicator. Initial results showed it tunes across all bands (yay!), but the SWR meter didn’t work on the first try. After probing the LED, I discovery that I had installed a Zener diode instead of a Schottky diode across the bridge! After replacing it with the correct part, the SWR light worked as expected!

Next up: Field Test!

Just wrapped up an awesome SOTA and POTA Christmas activation livestream with Mark KD7DTS! Ran 100W into ATAS-120 for kicks. Even got K8MRD in the log! Thank you chasers and hunters!

Merry Christmas!! 🎄

Experimenting with some radial winder designs. Figured it might be fun to optimize the volume of four separate winders into one. Going to take this out to the field to see if it's any easier or better to use than the separate winders have I have.

Incredibly stunning day on top of W6/SC-311! Activated with Mark KD7DTS, Di KO6BTM, and Ormoo the cat. Had a chance to finally use my KH1 Ashi Paddle 45 given to me by @7L4WVU during my recent visit to Japan. This paddle is awesome!!

🇯🇵 JJ0XMS ✈️ N6ARA 🇺🇸

What an amazing trip! Japan is such a wonderful country to visit. I feel very fortunate to have had a chance to activate 2 SOTA summits and 10 POTA parks throughout my stay. Was great to meet Waka-San JG0AWE and to activate with Tad-san 7L4WVU again :) See you next time!

PS - Sorry to the Mastodon crowd for forgetting to post alerts! I plan to step up my presence here more in the future.
