This section is setup for my Ham Shack and the Xiegu G90 radio.
UPDATE – APRIL 29, 2024 – Well, I thought I would never ever own a XIEGU G90 radio……yes I obtained a XIEGU G90 from a local ham here in Rochester, NY., Sometimes buying a radio means you were in the right place at the right time. I was not looking for a radio but never thought of a XIEGU G90…….So I bought one …..
So now that I have had the XIEGU G90 for a month and have made over 100 contacts, have been told my audio is great. Have already taken it to a local park around the corner from me.
Here is the video I did from my local park.
I was using a end fed 33ft long…then I switched it to a qrp 33ft end fed…both proved very useful….looking forward to going out again.
UPDATE – AUGUST 25, 2024 – Took the XIEGU G90 to my local park, Cobbs Hill Park and setup with a qrp 33ft ef and it worked great and then i switched to a 66ft efhw and that worked very well…All in all it was a great day to be in the park and play radio …took some videos which are on the YOUTUBE channel.
Took some pics which I will post here as well.
Definitely going back there very soon…..
UPDATE – AUGUST 26, 2024 – Well ,I thought I would never ever own a XIEGU G90 radio……and now it looks like I will own two of the XIEGU G90 radios, picked up another from a ham off of SWAP.QTH.COM…picked it up for a song and a dance…very good price…loads of extras came with it.
Been out the last 2 days at my local park playing radio and it has turned out very good.
more pics of the 2nd XIEGU G90 will follow
UPDATE –DECEMBER 23, 2024 – WOW, what a great summer it was. Went out several times with the xiegu g90 to Cobbs Hill Park and went to Irondequoit bay marina park and went to Charlotte beach with it, made up a very nice go bag. It was nice to get out past these 4 walls in the ham shack and get out, next year I am definitely going to expand my horizons and get out to different places.
I think the cool thing it does not take me a lot of time to set up, throw up the end fed in a tree, secure it and your on the air.
I thought about getting a Xiegu 6100 but have decided that it would not be worth it, so I am good with the 2 Xiegu’s I already have.
I posted many of my adventures on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL “W2JLD“…Also took a wide variety of pics from my outings.
Places I’d like to go next year:
Charlotte Beach pier
Platt Street Bridge
Lock 32 in Pittsford
There is plenty of places to go here in Rochester…so get out on the air, stop procrastinating, stop making excuses….get out there and be radio active!!!!
