Morse Code Portable Leg Key by Andrés EA3PP

Andrés EA3PP loves to homebrew custom made Morse code paddles. He has made quite a lot of them and has a really nice selection that he sells. He sells one set of paddles in particular that is great for portable radio – the EA3PP Portable Leg Key. These paddles are created in Andrés’ shop and made from every-day materials. But don’t let that fool you. They perform very well and have a very nice feel to them. If you want something custom made, just ask Andrés and he should be able to accommodate you, or you can choose from the pictures he has put up on is QRZ page.

Summits on the Air Spots for Multi-Peak Excursions

Summits on the Air Spots for Multi-Peak Excursions

Occasionally you anticipate not having cell phone service on a SOTA excursion. In these cases most of us who operate CW rely on the RBN spotting network. But what if you plan to activate multiple peaks in a day and you don’t know when you’ll be on each summit? You can leverage SOTA Alert configurations to your advantage, so you won’t be spotted on the wrong summit.

This video documents one of four summits I did with Chris N1CLC over a spring weekend in 2022. I drove over to eastern Arizona and stayed with him in his cabin.
