peoples! we did a big, exciting thing today! @rose-alibi.bsky.social and I strung up a full wave antenna in my backyard and sent/rec'd a little CW / morse code today over 20 meter band! next step: set it up off a 35 ft mountain drop to see if we can connect w/our pal in Berlin #amateurradio #cw #othernetworks

20 meter band silve radio stacked on top of a SWR meter sits on green grass in front of a flower bed. a long yellow wire antenna stretches across the yard beside it. a pair of black headphones are also lying on the ground.

woman in black overalls and a sleeveless top sits atop a ladder leaning against a large tree. she is stringing antenna wire on a branch.

selfie of two women. the woman on the left wears a sleeveless top and black overalls. she's holding the antenna for a SDR SWR meter attached to her cell phone. she is also holding an audio cable and her thumb is paused above the connector as she's in the middle of transmitting morse code. a 20 meter band radio sits on the grassy ground directly behind them. the second woman leans into the camera on the right.
