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.

This "paddle feature" is the 8th in a series of videos about PORTABLE CW KEYS called "Portable Morse Code Paddles". I hope you enjoy this feature and come back for more!

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.
