In this episode of "Just the Hosts" we’ll discuss Field Day Prep – Chaos to Contacts, Survival Prep for Hiking, and Four Days in May Vendors. Brian doesn’t know if he will make it in time to the show so we invited Chris N1CLC back. If Brian gets done with his flight in time he’ll join as a "color analyst".

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.

I worked the flea market at Hamvention 2024 in the rain, first thing Friday morning. There were some good finds.

Begali Keys at Hamvention 2024

I arrived in Dayton for Hamvention 2024. Staying in an AirBnB with my fellow Tubers

Derek W7DLZ and I hiked to the top of Pentagram Crater to participate in Summits on the Air. For this activity, amateur radio operators hike specific summits with ham radio gear. If we contact 4 other stations, we revive points for the "activation"
