Building and enjoying my first EFHW antenna has been awesome!

I enjoy radio, experimenting with gear, building better setups, and making contacts while keeping things fun. Whether I’m chasing signals, testing antennas, or just enjoying time on the air, I like the hobby with a mix of curiosity, humor, and hands-on tinkering.
If you hear K4TTL, give me a shout. Always glad to make a contact and meet other operators out there in the noise.
