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.

Kurt AD0WE is back again this year! He joined us last year for the 2021 YouTubers Hamfest and had a bunch of great ideas to help people learn Morse code. He has released some very useful tools for others to use, free of charge, and continues to update those resources regularly. Find out what’s new since last year, and of course receive some excellent pointers to learn and improve your skills. We’ll talk about some of his most recommended tools for new learners along with some of the the best approaches for those starting out on the CW journey.

Hamvention had it all for the amateur radio enthusiast, but I really tried to focus on anything that was relevant to Portable Ops, Summits on the Air, Parks on the Air, and Morse Code. Brian and Dan will join me and watch the footage I took and offer commentary.

Join us as we talk about Hamvention 2022 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.

Hamvention SOTA Meet up

Time and details TBA

Just a quick livestream to announce my plans for Hamvention 2022

Time and details TBA

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.
