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

I 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.

During my #Morsecode #POTA #parksontheair #qso with Steve #K3SLH, I had my regular visit from this fawn & its hidden mother. 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.

I'm having a ball working #QRPp. Thanks to Dave #W4JL
this #MorseCode #POTA #parksontheair #QSO today was 1 watt or less. The challenges of #AmateurRadio #Hamradio are so much fun.

New "Live on YouTube" this afternoon with some european QSO's in 10m + how to gain best signal/noise ratio in FlexRadio 6400.
Lots of MFSK modes on 14.071 today because of #Olivia #QSO party #hamradio https://groups.io/g/Olivia
Well this evening I had a really good chat to friend in Germany via a #YSF reflector in the UK, and I was doing #DMR2YSF cross-over at my end and it worked really well, it was my first really world test for a #QSO of 30min plus with no real dropouts or distortion etc.
Very happy with my #W0CHP #PiStar #Dash doing the hard work of coverting DMR TG to YSF reflector as there was no real transcoding done as DMR & YSF use the same vocoder.

1st #Morsecode #QSO of the morning at about 28 WPM during today's #POTA #Parksontheair activation really gets the blood flowing through your brain better than a cup of JOE. Thanks John #KC4WQ for pushing me this a.m. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio

So I finally got a 10 meter #dipole in the air this evening just to see if I could hear anyone. Came across some cw and I maybe heard the last part of a #qso but not really much going on. Mostly I was excited to see how my #swr was I was happy with 2:1 across the band. I was surprised about how flat it was according to my little VNA. Anyway it was a enjoyable evening playing radio!
I had a #dremmittbrown moment this morning. "It works" with my #randomlengthwireantenna made of 26 AWG ultralight Stealth wire from #dxengineering. Right out of the gate 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Rob #wc1n 28.5' radiator with 28.5' counterpoise Tuned 1.1:1 with #z817 #autotuner on 40,30,20,17,15,12 and 10 meters. It's a keeper. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode

Operating #portable / #mobile #ham on a #bike isn't always fun. A tire damage kicked me out for some time, heat and an approaching thunderstorm made me ride a bit faster than usual, and – as usual on this route – a lot of APRS data sent from the digipeaters but no #QSO.
Interesting comparison between #GPS and #APRS data. Compare the pictures.

On 8/8/21, I made my 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO activation at K-7956. Today I completed my 2000th #QSO at K-7956. Thanks to @potaspots, all volunteers & hunters who helped me achieve this milestone. I've learned so much about myself, #AmateurRadio #hamradio #CW #MorseCode, #SSB, #FT8 #SSTV, #DIYantenna, #QRP since then. Thanks @ParksOnTheAir
