    Excellent video Peter. Great tips. Hopefully I’ll be doing some portable QRP operation in the near future, so I’ll keep this video in mind.

    Hi Peter! I really love your videos! Keep up the good job! The reason for the longer wire (of the split headphone) is to pass the wire of one of the phones behind your neck … it tooks me year to find this out! (you probably knew that hihi!)

    G’day Peter,

    Been watching your videos the last couple of days after VK2IG put me on to them. They’ve been fantastic and I look forward to viewing more.

    Quick question for you on this video though. You use a 20m wire and squid pole for your end fed antenna. But a squid pole at most is probably 9m, so what method have you used to setup the wire on the squid pole? Helically wound? or something else?

    I look forward to doing something similar, so thanks in advance.

    Hi Ian – glad you liked the video. All I did was use the squid pole as a support – threaded the wire through the loop at the end and tied it off on a fence.
