Sandy W7NRS and I hiked to the top of Deam HIlls for an early morning Summits on the Air outing. We left our house at 4:30 am to get ahead of the hot temperatures in the Phoenix, AZ area. This was a VHF only activation of the peak.

I was able to purchase a new GigaParts Explorer Carbon Fiber mast while at Hamvention 2024. Thanks to my friend, Mike K8MRD, for helping me obtain one of the few that were in stock.
In this video Sandy W7NRS and I hike to the top of two mountains (Summits on the Air) within the Coconino National Forest (Parks on the Air) to activate a SOTA/POTA combo using this mast. We put it to the test in high winds and it held up like a champ.

One of my favorite events at Hamvention is Vendor Night. Small start-up business or individuals selling their gadgets they developed themselves. Very cool stuff.
