Morse Code Parks on the Air Joint Activation With Marc W4MPS

Morse Code Parks on the Air Joint Activation With  Marc W4MPS

Marc W4MPS was in town from North Carolina. He asked if I’d like to meet up and I thought it would be nice to work the ham radio with him from Lost Dutchman State Park for a Parks on the Air activation. We only worked Morse code for this activation and Marc is an excellent operator. The longer video version of this activation will be out soon, so check the regular videos and look for the Parks on the Air playlist on my channel.

Summits on the Air Joint Activation With Derek W7DLZ 3rd Summit

Summits on the Air Joint Activation With  Derek W7DLZ 3rd Summit

I hiked to the top of three summits on this day, set up my ham radio station and operated with Morse code. This is the 3rd summit, A-1 Mountain. I actually only used voice (not Morse code) on this last summit. Derek W7DLZ joined me for this to make the 3rd summit a joint activation. Derek is a a great person and a new friend.

When Bad Things Happen to Good Antennas: My Search for a Replacement

When Bad Things Happen to Good Antennas: My Search for a Replacement

I lost my VHF/UHF antenna while operating ham radio on a mountain top. Subsequently I searched for a replacement and found a good candidate. Losing gear while doing SOTA (Summits On The Air) is a common occurrence, and I wanted to find a reliable antenna that will withstand the rugged terrain of the mountains.
