Tumd cw keys, 49 bucks in Amazon, very solid cnc aluminum, magnetic returns, precise, almost same size with Bamatech TP-III and enjoy to operate, even when I set it tight. Love it 👍 Nice #cw for #POTA. Can't beat it for the price and feel. #QRP #hamradio

Today we activated POTA site IE-0228 from the National Botanic Gardens.
A lovely Sunday outing with Daniel EI8ICB and Jeffrey EI7IRB, and what we believe was the first POTA activation from the site.

Thanks to South Dublin Radio Club for their net.

Callsign Database - QRZ.com

On my Github is a python script that will let QRZ XML subscribers bulk correct records. It's intended to address two cases:

1) The other person has reported a different county, state or grid square in QRZ;
2) You uploaded your #pota ADIF + it lacked location data. (QRZ chose some defaults...)

Yesterday we were out in Ticknock Forest, IE-0116 for our Easter Monday POTA activation.
Great to get EI0TOG on the air, make plenty of contacts, and enjoy a good day out in the Mountains.
Thanks to Declan EI9HQ, Paraic EI2LH, Tomasz EI3106 & Jeffrey EI7IRB for taking part.

On Friday 4/3/26 I activated my 100th POTA park, US-3047 Palo Pinto Mountains State Park. It’s been 4 years since my first successful activation so I’m glad to hit 100 especially calling Texas home. It was made even better to have my friend N0AHC there with me. #pota #hamradio

Today I did a POTA activation with @togdublin.bsky.social on the 40m and 20m bands in Ticknock Forest. Jeffrey (EI7IRB) led the activation using the club callsign EI0TOG. We have also taken part in the IRTS 70cm and 2m County Contests.

Second #POTA activation at US-4423. Frequency was on 20m: 14.311 MHz.

Now to log all these contacts. I have to go old school with pen and paper since I am too damn slow to use a computer.

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.
