    Wow! That is some great human engineering. Designed to answer the basic
    question: “What few things do I REALLY NEED to enjoy portable ham radio?”.
    Good idea, Sir! de W7ASA …_ ._ Ps. I would add a little
    espresso/cappuccino maker. :^)

    I bet you end up going to a push to talk mic. I can see that bending over
    like that can get a big “back breaking”. Maybe an extension for the mic
    also? One other thing, is it top heavy? Id be abit concern of a strong
    breeze maybe knocking it over. Just some things that came to mind. BTW, the
    camera really does a fine job for what it is, was surprised.

    I have two magnetic loop antena. One for 40 meters/ 80 watts max ando other
    for 10 meters/ 60 watts max power. The problem I see in Alex antennas is
    that they can only operate at low power due to the capacitor used in the
    project. With a larger capacitor insulation is possible to use higher
    power. I have done tests with 50 to 60 watts with my loops. Always with a
    very good result for the reception and transmission.

    Alex, you are too cool for school!! Very neat and original. You really have
    something there. IF you could just get a umbrella over you , youd have it
    made !! Enjoyed this very much. 73 de Ron KB3VEW

    Bravo Alex! Very FB. I will have to try this with my AlexLoop. I wonder if
    you could use a microphone stand with a boom and then like ThePauperPrepper
    mentioned attach an umbrella for shade? 73 KT5W
