I’m currently enjoying chasing AO75xx stations, quite a challenge on compromised antennas and <5W but that’s the fun of it, the last time I tried one of the URE events I was QRO and had a good multiband antenna achieving the platinum award!

Having moved house I don’t currently have any antennas errected at home, all of my operating is now portable using low power generally below 10W but sometimes less than 5W to qualify for QRP awards.

Most of the operating is using an ICOM IC 705, the antenna could be a mobile whip or various configurations of long wire with a tuner.
