JPC-12 Antenna Setup
G90 setup with WSJTX, GridTracker2, and JTAlert
31 FT8/4 QSOs, 7 phone QSOs with 4 P2P. Was hoping for more phone contacts but my hands were getting too cold to stay. Overall pretty good for my first solo POTA activation!

Today saw me activate three #SOTA summits in G/SC, and the Dorset Landscapes #POTA GB-0008. All on 2m, mix of SSB, CW and FM. Weather was on side. Thanks for the QSOs! #hamradio #portable
I set up this Chameleon CHA BV vertical antenna for the 20 meters to see how it react in the wind. I had to make some modification to the original project to make the whip more rigid and not bend in the wind.

Four #SOTA summits and associated #POTA parks activated today in G/SC. All on 2m, mix of SSB, CW and FM. Weather was on side. Thanks for the QSOs! #hamradio #portable
Enjoyable bit of amateur radio from Long Melford Country Park earlier. 27 contacts (some CQWW WPX contest, some POTA) on 40m. Mix of usdx+ V2 SDR radio and Yaesu FT857 to a 1/2 wave dipole.
Weird mix of weather, including some hail!

Blue sky on the summit. There is a summit cross, some rocks, the foot of an antaenna, some orange wire . the picture overlay also shows some data such as date and time, geolocation and weather.
This week I activated SOTA/GMA summit DM/NS-001 Wurmberg as well as POTA Park DE-0070 and WWFF DLFF-8805 Harz Nature Park and WWToTA DLR-0636 Wurmbergturm. It was a quiet crowded area on a sunny sunday, as the summit is accessible by a cable car and theres a lot […]

So, after Jon Chu's WICKED: FOR GOOD sequel sets flying monkeys free, how about a cross-franchise with PLANET OF THE APES..? Glinda meets Nova? 🙃

Meine heutiger POTA Ausflug führte mich an den Stadtrand zum Eichepark. Leider war das Wetter heut nicht so perfekt, wie gestern. Es gab sogar ein paar Regentröpfchen. Ich hatte einige nette QSOs auf dem 20m Band. Besonders gefreut hat mich, dass sich DM8SB und […]

This is the bag with the Chameleon portable antenna for the short wave communications. The antenna is the CHA BV, a basic vertical antenna. The weight of this bag if 5,3 Kg. Pretty much for a portable antenna.

The illustration is a world map with pins placed in it to mark the contacts made over ham radio.
Activated a new #POTA to mark #FridayThe13th. I used my #FT-891 at 50w with a mag mount whip and I made it all the way to the Netherlands!! Started off slow with no internet to spot me but once one person did, the rarely visited park got some big pileups. Good times.
Activation in VHF from the Castle. I love this radio so much.

there is a new outdoor activity program in OK, OM SP, DL and OE: Towers On The Air. So I signed up and activated my first tower in Berlin: Wolkenhain at Kienbergpark; at the same time POTA Park Kienbergpark and GMA Kienberg. HC12S #amateurradio #pota #tota #gma
I finally got out and did a #POTA activation using only my QMX. Most of this was on a 20m EFHW, and then I did a few QSOs on a random wire through a tuner.
It didn't start out well. I couldn't figure out why no one was responding to me. I finally […]

Bullied myself down to a local wildlife reserve by the sea yesterday with an HF mobile rig and a 14mHz vertical for the car roof. One mother of all POTA pileups later, I was so glad I’d taken the trouble. Delighted so many ops called in. #pota #hamradio #amateurradio #fun

My most efficient operation is still done during #POTA activations. Far away from my downtown noise floor.
Have you investigated a rain gutter antenna to sidestep the HOA restrictions?
With the UK weather warming up, its a great time to plan some outdoor radio adventures.

@japan #radioamateurs is there any particular reason why a lot of POTA activations appear to happen late in your day? Genuinely curious. #pota
Beautiful day today, and I went out for a social #POTA activation this afternoon. A new ham with a license only a few days old joined me to learn about POTA. I was going to do SSB instead of CW as a result, but turns out they are more interested in CW and specifically wanted to see a CW […]
