Lightweight Portable Antenna Choices and Deployment

Lightweight Portable Antenna Choices and Deployment

I’ve been wanting to activate Sitgreaves Mountain for several years. My friend Robert N3BZ recently hiked to the top and activated it. He was only the second person to do so. In this video Robert is my guide as we hike to the top of Sitgreaves. On the summit, I talk a little bit about lightweight and compact antenna designs and how I choose to deploy mine. While activating, both of us encounter interference caused by the other station. This is a common challenge when you have more than one operator operating in the same area.

I’m going solo on this one. The 1 year anniversary of this stream is a couple of weeks away. We’ve come a long way since episode 1. I’ve been really busy with travel lately and have not had a lot of time to finish up videos currently in post. What is next for this stream and for the channel. Join me for a casual discussion about this and what ever else you bring up in the chat. I’ll bring on guests from the chat if any are interested.

Western US Summit to Summit Events

Western US Summit to Summit Events

Every summer hams across the Western United States simultaneously activate mountain top portable. This Summits on the Air event is actually three in one. Colorado, California and the Pacific Northwest all host a Summit to Summit (S2S) event in which they try to get as many S2S contacts as possible. These events often coincide with a campout or other gathering.
This video is footage of my participation in the California S2S event. I drove to Big Bear, California and camped with about 20-30 other hams who all got up on a summit for the event. The in-camp socializing was also very fun. Follow along as I show you a little bit about what an S2S event looks like.
