A teeny-tiny QRP radio! Adam K6ARK takes us through the evolution and development of the "choking hazard" Pixie transceiver & antennas that he has built for use on SOTA and portable.
Adam Kimmerly K6ARK is an avid SOTA activator and portable operator. He has a small YouTube channel where he shares his adventures in building and operating portable radio equipment from some of the highest peaks in California. Whether it’s the smallest possible radio or the highest gain portable antenna, Adam is always looking for that next challenge to keep his portable operating interesting.
