I'm loving this Mini Tuner. I test new antenna under less than ideal conditions like today to see how they perform. If they perform well then they'll likely work under ideal conditions. Heat shrink marks different bands. Hose clamps and zip ties used to connect paracord to tent stakes to support mast when elevated. Nice work during activation today.

I just witnessed Hawaii's Lt. Governor on ABC News Now state the only communications available in fire areas are satellite phones. I'm dismayed & shocked that some elected officials are clueless the beneficial role plays during disaster events. I've been fortunate to have assisted in several disaster situations. Makes me PROUD to be an AMATEUR RADIO OPERFATOR.

@AE4WX There'll be more times to come. I may be out tomorrow and maybe Monday and Tuesday depending on how bad the CME effects forecasted to hit those days.

@qrper I turned on my radio when I came home for lunch today when you were on 20 meters, however I didn't even see any activity on 14.074 (FT8) on the scope. Did we have another solar flare hit?

@Josefius Oh I've seen them for sale over the years but I guess I'm just use to operating without them since I was first licensed back in the 60's. I've got them on my Ten Tec rigs st the shack and my FT891 buy rarely use it.

@Josefius hello Joe. No filter. Never took advantage of getting one when they were readily available. I've had my FT817 since 2004
