Quick EFHW antenna setup and SOTA QSOs with the Lab599 TX-500 transceiver

This video shows how I quickly setup my 20m long standard End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) antenna, some notes about APRS, and make some contacts using the Lab599 Discovery TX-500 transceiver on the 40-meter band.

All my tests are carried out on a SOTA summit, this time on https://sotl.as/summits/FL/VO-085.

The document describing the standard 7-band and compact EFHW antenna can be found at https://hb9sota.ch/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Portable-7-Band-EFHW_HB9EAJ-V1.2.pdf

The Lab599 Discovery TX-500 transceiver was operated with firmware version 1.09.01s.
