Hamvention 2023 is only two days away. I have my gear packed and I’m ready to catch a flight. I have my plans in place, but most important to me this year is meeting all of my channel supporters. So if you are there this year, please send me a message on social media or using my email address on QRZ.com.

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.

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.

A discussion of the challenges and limitations of SWR testing for VHF/UHF antennas. While SWR measurements can provide valuable insight into the performance of an antenna, they can also be misleading and inaccurate. In this video, we start our exploration of this by measuring 4 antennas:

In this product review, we take a closer look at the CH-5030 Single-Lever CW Key or Morse code paddle that can be found for a bargain on eBay. If you’re into ham radio field operations or learning Morse code, this could be the perfect addition to your kit. The single-lever design might seem like a novelty at first, but it actually makes sending Morse code a little easier and more efficient. We’ll discuss the product’s build quality, ease of use, and overall performance so that you can make an informed decision about whether the CH-5030 is the right Morse code paddle for you.

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.
