This American Made paddle has been quite reliable in the field. I have had it out on my SOTA and POTA activations for over a month and it performed like a champ! If you prefer a paddle a little on the larger size for a better grip, this will be perfect for you. It is an affordable, high performing paddle that I felt comfortable using as my primary option.

I received the Packtenna 20 Meter End-Fed Half-Wave antenna recently. The end of the antenna opposite the feed line has a link to add an extender for 40 meters. Rather than purchasing that, I just linked up to the end with more wire to extend it to 40 meters. After tuning it up on 40 meters I added a loading coil to bring the other three bands into resonance (20,15, and 10). Find out more about this loading coil in K6ARK’s antenna instructions on page 10, found here: https://tinyurl.com/2jskhzhd
This was a SOTA/POTA activation. In addition to using the Packtenna EFHW on HF I also used the Packtenna TrekMount. I operated the TrekMount on 2 meters CW, SSB, and FM. I also used the SotaBeams 2 meter bandpass filter because of the commercial antennas on the summit.

Pat K7GUD is no stranger to the backcountry, but is relatively new to Ham Radio. Pat has been Hiking, Backpacking, Climbing, Skiing, and participating in many other outdoor activities for nearly his whole life. He writes on his QRZ page, "I’ve been a hiker and climber a lot longer than I’ve been a ham, so the "Summits" part was pretty natural. I already have all the gear I need for lightweight backcountry travel. The "on the Air" part was a little more difficult. But thanks to the many great YouTube videos about POTA and SOTA and portable operation, I was able to sort out what I needed to get started.
Pat has a great "new ham" perspective, and is an excellent communicator. If you are new to ham radio and want to start operating portable, you won’t want to miss what Pat has to say in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone. If you already operate portable you’ll find Pat’s journey fascinating.
Join us as we talk about how YOU can improve your SOTA experience in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone “AP/DZ”. Every aspect of Portable Ops is explored in this biweekly live stream as we discuss news, gear, achievements, the workbench, contests, awards and more – find all Portable Ops related topics here.

When you encounter extreme weather conditions for a Parks on the Air activation your best defenses are preparedness and adaptability. On this particular POTA activation I encountered very high winds. I had to change my plans and adapt to those conditions. This was also a Summits on the Air activation – a combo. The SOTA peak is within a POTA park. Dan KC7MSU and I hiked up this summit and activated it for both.
