    After reading this article, I was motivated to take my Alexloop out for a POTA activation. I set it up with my Icom 705 running 5 watts CW. My first contact was F4WBN and my hopes were up. 54 minutes later, I had 11 contacts, including Sweden and Belgium. Here’s the QSO map:

    I used an alexloop indoors on a speaker stand in 2017 and 2022 QRP with digital modes (JT65 RIP) for about 1000 QSOs. I worked QRP WAS and verified about 40 different countries on LOTW. I'm going to set it up again and work FTx modes and CW with a straight key over the winter.

    Really fun.
