VHF Contest/SOTA Wrap-up

VHF Contest/SOTA Wrap-up

For the January VHF contest, I decided to have some fun from a SOTA summit. I set up as a 3-band station and operated for about 5.5 hours. Lots of activity on the bands, and many contacts. Enjoy the show!

#MNHR Playlist: -coming soon-

I will certainly be making build videos for the 6m yagi and the Extended Double Zepp. The 2m/70cm yagi already has a build video: https://youtu.be/a4XIgYD-d1k

I created an Amazon store with a bunch of the goodies I use to build antennas and play radio. Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/shop/k6arkportableradio

Amazon gives me a small kick-back from any purchases through that link.

How does the Amateur Radio community respond in times of crisis?

How does the Amateur Radio community respond in times of crisis?

Amateur Radio has long played an important role in emergency situations and events.

From the ARRL –
Amateur Radio operators set up and operate organized communication networks locally for governmental and emergency officials, as well as non-commercial communication for private citizens affected by the disaster. Amateur Radio operators are most likely to be active after disasters that damage regular lines of communications due to power outages and destruction of telephone, cellular and other infrastructure-dependent systems.

Many radio amateurs are active as communications volunteers with local public safety organizations. In addition, in some disasters, radio frequencies are not coordinated among relief officials and Amateur Radio operators step in to coordinate communication when radio towers and other elements in the communications infrastructure are damaged.
