Don't you love when it's time for the antennas to all come into bloom? :3

In all seriousness, it's awesome to be back on the airwaves after all this time, and 2-meter is a great place to start! 👍

Capacitive hat on top of a 2m J-pole that looks like a flower
NanoVNA: all of 2m has SWR < 2

Removable capacitive hats sure are an easier way to adjust a linear antenna's resonant frequency than cutting the antenna. (Other easier ways are telescoping legs and an adjustable feed point.)

Probably the only upside of the antenna's location is the lack of wind loading. :P
