Surprisingly Ray sounded great, from just the whip antenna. I'm sure I can do better with a counter poise next time. But then again I was at 18ft elevation on the highest point in NJ.

I was able to complete a 20m POTA activation with ease.

The prc-70 ready did well with the lipo4 battery.

Here are some pics
