I give the legs a bit of a shakeout after a reasonably big weekend prior. A lot more QRM than I would have liked but a beautiful lunchtime out none the less!

Can you do 12 SOTA summits in an ultramarathon day? What does that look like? Is it a stupid idea?
Come along for the adventure as we tackle 3k+ vertical meters/10,000 vertical feet of climbing in a day including 5 night time summits!

If I was going to blame anyone for this monstrocity – I’d probably look to them.
VK is a glorious place.
No Chinese or Japanese radios were harmed in the production of this catastrophy.
Will this be the video that sinks the channel? Is this the worst video ever produced in the name of ham radio? Probably.

This time we head up and do a classic New Zealand day walk with an extra summit thrown in for good measure!
This is a longer format video – it is full of ranting as a result. I am.. sorry?
I stole a clip from this video without permission – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8hO2cNugCc – hopefully Adam finds it in his heart to forgive me. Once you’ve watched this, you can watch that video and see what video content that is actually good looks like.
Have a kick ass day my friends!

Roly ZL1BQD was trying to activate a lake but he doesn’t have many friends so I thought I’d best go and help him out, respect your elders and all that.
