Does that green fence post provide any grounding or is that part of the scheme to the base mount of the antenna? Just laying out plans for a easy portable setup. Thanks for the great short and clear videos!

@zappatx Nada. The green fence post serves only to assit in securing the painter's pole in the soft earth. The pole is fiberglass. Glad you like the idea. Best of 73 AI4QT.

Wil does this rig have a high low power setting or is it fixed information much appreciated thanks.

How does the battery of that type last while running 10 watts?

[AI4QT]

@teddereem. Thanks for viewing... The battery lasts several hours to say the least. You should have plenty of fun with a setup like this without too much worry of running low if you're hiking for a day, or at a picnic. Best of 73 AI4QT

How do you recharge those batteries?

@mgolden2 recharge is done by small 12 volt battery charger picked up from Battery Plus.

I love my 9475! great little rigs!

[AI4QT]

That's the specs from MFJ. In fact, some folks even report 12 watts out of some of these radios. 73.

This is a simplex net. As far as I know, all HF communications are simplex. The reason we can go so far on HF is because of "ionizing radiation". Essentially, some frequencies (The HF bands) can bounce off of the ionosphere, traveling much farther than VHF or UHF.

Excellent video - and SSB QSO!

I'm going to be posting a video soon on how I support the painter pole-- My secret though is using those green steel fence posts and "hose clamping" the steel fence post to the painter pole. It's great for a temporary setup!

I've had the MFJ-9440 SSB radio only a few days and I already rank it up to one the top three radios I've owned (SERIOUSLY). 73, AI4QT

COOL!!! So how do you secure the painters pole? Do you use Guy wires? Do you have a video for the antenna setup?
