I am building a homebrew ham radio called the N6QW Sudden SSB Transceiver. Here is the first stage on a breadboard – the audio amplifier. Next I need to solder all the components in the same configuration on a PCB board.

I hiked to the top of Black Mountain near Wickenburg, Arizona. I brought along some borrowed gear to test on this Summits on the Air activation. This was my 3rd time using the Penntek TR-35 Transceiver and BeeTenna VHF Antenna. Both are excellent products that made this activation a success.

Summits on on Air combines hiking mountaintops with operating ham radios. I prefer to use Morse code when communicating with other stations, but you could use voice.

In this episode of "Just the Hosts" we’ll discuss Land Navigation for Summits on the Air, what works for 2 Meter SOTA Activations, and thoughts about the HB-1B Transceiver.

Dan KC7MSU has a conflict so we invited Chris N1CLC to fill in for him.

I will be participating in a LIVE buildathon where a group of us will build Rex Harper’s (W1REX) CP SIGHTer kit. The kit arrived, and as I was going through the parts list I realized I had to set up a test circuit to identify what color my LEDs emit.
