Here’s another VHF only Summits on the Air activation at sunrise. I enjoy these activations so much! Can you believe I had 11 contacts? 11 other people crazy enough to be up at 5:30 am, and 4 other activators crazy enough to be on a a summit at sunrise!

Summits on the Air can be a simple as making 2 meter FM contacts with a hand-held ham radio. Hike to the top of a summit, enjoy the beauty, and talk to other SOTA folks. This morning was a special event we like to call Mini Morning Madness in Arizona. MMM is multiple hikers with ham radios all on a summit simultaneously. It’s great fun to talk to others "Summit to Summit".

Happy Father’s Day!!! We are pondering the idea of moving to a variation of the Amateur Logic TV format https://www.youtube.com/@AmateurlogicTv where we alternate between guest interviews and host-only episodes.

In this episode, Brian W7JET, Dan KC7MSU, and I bring a topic to the show for discussion. This may be the beginning of a new format or it may indicate to us that we aren’t cut out to run our own show HAHA!

I went to the post office today and these three packages were waiting for me! Three new #shorts videos coming soon. One on the Begali Sculpture CW Paddle Cover (and LED light) sold by Pete G0PNM, one on the cool fix Paul K4JAZ came up with for the American Morse Porta Paddle, and one on the new Homebrew antenna’s I received from my friend Malen VE6VID.

Here are a few of the radios I came across at Hamvention that caught my eye. The Ten Tec r4020 qrp radio is one I wish I had purchased.

Here is a look at the bugs and keys I found at Hamvention 2023 flea market. From the inexpensive MFJ Travel Iambic Paddle to vintage Vibroplex bugs. The finds were quite diverse.

Left-Handed Morse code bugs exist and are a thing? I had no idea. After showing off my newly acquired CW Bug from Hamvention several people made comments pointing out I was doing it wrong. Is there really a wrong way to do CW? I’m not sure I agree with that, but in keeping with my diplomatic nature, here is my first Right-Handed contact with the Morse code bug.
