I switched the polarization in my battery connection for my Morserino by clipping the leads and soldering them back on in reverse, black on red, red on black. After releasing a video of this, several people left comments indicating I could have just removed the Molex pins and reversed them. This would have been much simpler.

This is the battery I purchased:

Finding a battery that is a good match for the Morserino can be difficult. Most batteries that work for the Morserino come with a JST connector. It’s recommended that the batteries be a single cell, 3.7 volt LiPo around 500mAh. I found a good battery with a Molex connector to match the Molex connector on the Morserino, but when it arrived, the polarization was opposite of what the Morserino used. Here’s my fix.

This is the battery I purchased. It isn’t thin enough to go underneath the Morserino.

Again I hit the local trail early to get on a summit for sunrise. This time it was Lookout Mountain. The temperatures were way down so I had time to set up HF and get some long distance contacts to the east coast. I noticed an inquisitive roadrunner watching me, poking his head out from behind the brush at different locations.

$35 isn’t bad for this straight key! I was kind of on the fence, and then my friend Mike K8MRD sent me a video of his.

In this video I hike to the top of Dixie benchmark with my wife, Sandy W7NRS. This is a special activation where I reach 4K Summits on the Air points. All ham radio contacts (or QSOs) are included in this activation video including 2 meter FM. I work make contact with Galih YC2VOC in Indonesia, and my friend, Dan KC7MSU, surprises me on the summit.

I have been using the Radioddity GS-5B hand-held ham radio in the field for several months. Recently I was using it on a Summits on the Air activation with my wife and a friend, and I noticed that their radios seemed to receive other stations better than the GS-5B. This led me to pay closer attention to the receive capabilities of this radio, compared to others. I experimented with different antennas and compared it to different radios. Here is what I learned.

The Morserino Morse code trainer is at the top of my list when it comes to CW Trainers. It has a bunch of useful features for people just learning as well as for experienced operators. The Long Island CW Club uses this trainer in some of their online classes https://longislandcwclub.org/

Ham radios come in all shapes and sizes, and it is simple to stay connected when you are outside recreating. The power of a ham radio handheld device should not be underestimated. In this video I demonstrate how ham radio operators contact each other by exchanging just a few pieces of information. With a radio in your pocket you can go hiking or trail running and communicate with others by exchanging your FCC call signs and then reporting the other stations signal readability and strength.
