QRP Setup:  XIEGU G90 HF SDR Tranceiver, transmitting 5 watts (QRP), via a SignaLink USB into a vertical antenna,  ground mounted on a
  chain-link fence post.  Two hundred seventy-five feet (83.82 meters) of fencing in all directions in conjunction with an excellent  ground conductivity
 (see below map) affords a great counter-poise for this setup. I use Tx/Rx Split often times with whichever software is being used at the time.
