I may have only had 12 QSOs but I had enough to make the activation worth it.
#hamrs worked for the most part, but glitched a few times, thankfully I had paper logs as a backup!
I learned quite a bit and I am looking forward to my next activation!
I'll be writing up a summary with pictures on my #blog shortly 😀
Thank you to everyone who offered advice and who worked me ❤️

Quick 2 hour activation at home #pota K-0648 yesterday. 30 contacts on 20m voice with 17 park to park. The drizzle turned to rain and had to pack up. #hamradio #ParksOnTheAir

Over this past weekend, I surpassed my 3rd KILO of #POTA #parksontheair #QSO activations from K-7956. To add a cherry on top, all my weekend activations were 1 watt or less. Thanks to all hunters who helped me meet this milestone #AmateurRadio #hamradio

This is how people view #AmateurRadio #HamRadio Operators.

861 followers · 1130 posts · Server mastodon.radioI get such an exhilaration out of making a #QRPp less than 1 watt #MorseCode #POTA #parksontheair #QSO. It's definitely difficult to control my INNER CHILD. That's what the thrill of #AmateurRadio #Hamradio will make you do.

Nice way to begin the week with an #FT8 #pota #parksontheair activation pileup. #amateurradio #hamradio And my DIY replacement BNC connector is better than the original manufacturer one which failed.

Yesterday I activated #POTA reference DA-0107 (Holsteinische Schweiz) from a rowing boat on the lake Dieksee. I'll put up a Youtube video of the activation tomorrow. Stay tuned. #amateurradio #ParksOnTheAir #amateurfunk #hamr

They've come to learn I'm not a threat. It Came within 30 feet today. You can't have experiences like this in an #amateurradio #hamradio shack.
