Someone says that a prerequisite for coming out is to first come out.
Therefore, even after completing nearly 250 QSOs using FT8, when SSB communication logs were still in the single-digit range.
I have decided to leave the indoors and go outdoors, where the electromagnetic environment is better (it's really difficult to get outside in Hainan during the day).
Looking forward to a better communication experience.
First, I purchased a large quantity of batteries from Taobao – 30Ah – and they are quite heavy.
The label indicates 13.8V, but the FT891 actually shows 13.0V upon startup. This could be due to insufficient power or a display issue?

Secondly, choose a location near "Mei She River Wetland Park," which is close to your residence.
It's just under 4 km away, and a small electric scooter would be perfect for that distance.

The little donkey wouldn't let me ride inside; I could only go in.
It's possible that I haven't exercised in a while, and carrying items like the radio, battery, and antenna makes it tiring.

Amidst everyone's curious glances, I set up the antenna I purchased on Taobao, which is also suitable for FT8 use.
The wind isn't too strong; it's good.


With a sense of anticipation and apprehension, I turned on the power and tuned to frequency 14270.
QQ QQ QQ, S table + 7, WC, no transmission
It's possible to hear a small amount of useful information amidst all the noise.

It seems there's a competition happening today on 15m, with very clear signals – likely indicating significant power output. Unfortunately, I can't answer.
Night has fallen.
Ultimately, I was only able to complete a QSO with a "big shot" in Hunan, Changtan, who had listening comprehension skills comparable to those of someone at the sixth level of English.
First, please arrive earlier next time. The darkness and spread of information are too problematic.
Secondly, I need to buy a small, portable table and chair so that I can sit on the floor comfortably, although my legs might get a little numb.
