$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.

Sandy and I hiked the road up to Mount Union. We had a good time but always kept an eye out for approaching Thunderstorms. Lightning is dangerous and unpredictable. I use a lightning detector I purchased off Amazon to help remind me.

My friend, Frank, from Tank Radio https://www.youtube.com/@TankRadio sent me the Morse Monkey Morse Code Trainer on loan. It’s a kit build and quite useful to learn the code.
