One of my wife’s most admirable qualities is her independent nature. Sandy W7NRS and our friend Lisa KJ7PJV have been licensed for a little over 2 years. Most of their ham radio experience has been from mountain tops of Arizona, participating in Summits on the Air. Both are pursuing the prestigious Mountain Goat award. They have tagged along with Jon and I, sometimes just husband and wife excursions and sometimes with the four of us as a couple’s activation.

I submit this video as evidence that they are ready to branch out and do their own activations (if they want), either solo or as a SOTA YL DUO.

The annual ARRL Field Day event is really fun! It is an event where hams take their radio gear portable, out in the field. This is what I love! The event takes place on the forth weekend in June, over Saturday and Sunday. I like to extend the outing to get more camping time in AND do Summits on the Air. Every year, I drive up on Thursday morning, secure my camp at the Field Day site where our club goes, and then do the "Field Day" warm-up by activating 3 or 4 peaks. This year, Sandy joined the fun for Field Day and the SOTA excursions. In this video we take you along on one of the 4 summits we activated. Sandy is on SSB and I am on CW.

I have a friend, I’ll call him Tuje (pronounced Tooge). He has decades of experience in commercial VHF/UHF radio communications. He wants to share his knowledge, but he also wants to remain anonymous. I offered to host his videos on my channel. So here is another video in an ongoing series of helpful videos, primarily relating to VHF communications, but certainly not limited to that topic.

We had a successful 2022 Field Day with the Superstition Amateur Radio Club: https://www.superstitionarc.org
Included in this video are interviews from club members about their impressions of Field Day, some of the station setups, and a little bit of operating during the event.

Bill K0WHW joined me for this VERY EARLY activation of Lone Mountain Summits on the Air. This was the first day of summer bonus points, and the first time I was able to meet Bill.
Bill brought is LAB599 TX-500 along and I got an opportunity to operate with it a little. But honestly, VHF contacts stole the show on this activation. We both had our points in 1-2 minutes on VHF.

Bill has an excellent YouTube channel called Ham Radio Tectonics:
