📡 Minimalistic FT8 Portable Reception Setup | Miniwhip Active Antenna + SDR
In this video, I demonstrate a compact and minimalist FT8 receive-only setup using a Miniwhip active antenna paired with an SDR receiver. This ultra-light configuration is ideal for portable, stealth, or indoor FT8 reception, especially where space and antenna size are limited.
Despite its simplicity, the Miniwhip performs surprisingly well on HF bands, allowing reliable FT8 decoding with minimal hardware. I cover the antenna placement, basic wiring, SDR configuration, and show real FT8 reception results in action.
🔧 Equipment Used:
• Miniwhip Active Antenna
• SDR Receiver
• Laptop / Mini PC
• FT8 Software (WSJT-X)
📍 Use Cases:
• Portable FT8 monitoring
• Indoor or balcony HF reception
• Stealth antenna setups
• Travel and emergency RX stations
⚠️ Notes:
Miniwhip antennas are highly sensitive to local noise—proper grounding and placement are critical for best results.
