Admirable. 10mW honestly blows my mind.

100W club here, and hoping to reduce my power use as I get into CW and still make international QSOs.

It makes drivers politicians uncomfortable

Greeks, pthank you!

Wait until you learn about words starting with a silent p, like pterodactyl and ptoilet.

Late to the party; I built and ran both a 10m and 20m window/ladder-line j-pole with phenomenal results. It’s really neat in that it does not require a counterpoise as it has a matching section built in. As such, the radiating element and matching sections do not need to be coaxial, so if you’re mounting in the attic space, you are free to run the radiating element horizontally (performance will be reduced as this antenna’s optimal performance is vertical), and the matching section can have a different orientation.

The 20m version is about 44’ long, so when I only had a 30’ mast, I had to string the matching section horizontally:

On 100W and a 10m tall mast, I was able to reach Indonesia on SSB on 20m. It took some working and good prop, but we made a QSO.

I upgraded to a 15m tall mast and got some marginal improvements, but being in the residential area made it hard to compare since there was always so much EMI:

As for comparison to other antenna types, I have a 7-band OCFD that is quite long, and a massive headache to install (I primarily operate portable), and this j-pole blew it out of the water.

Good luck!

Gimme some Stilton all day.

Welcome my son,

welcome, to the machine.

Where have you been?

It’s alright, we know where you’ve been.

huh. TIL.

This is promotion for a conspiracy theory site dressed up as a TIL.

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit.

I can’t wait to see the shareholder value.

Worse. Willing to bet this port came with infrastructure money and a guarantee that if the Peruvians don’t pay the Chinese seize the port, becoming de facto sovereign territory.

Never thought I’d spend as much on the wool socks I have… yet here I am.

For good reason. It’s basically a speed run of enshittification from day-one.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

I’ve had good success with templates from html5up.net.
