For this Tuesday's Hackspace meeting, our antenna exploration shifts focus to the versatile End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) Antenna.
​
If you've been curious about optimizing your portable station or getting ready for outdoor operations, this is the session for you. Alongside the antenna setup, we will be diving into the essentials of off-grid power, concentrating on:
-
Portable operations gear and lightweight setups
-
Battery options for the field (LiFePO4, capacity planning)
-
Solar charging setups to keep your station running indefinitely
