Join me on a windy, high-altitude Summits on the Air (SOTA) adventure at McKenzie Butte, where I push the Chameleon CHA-SS25 antenna to its limits. Can this stealthy setup handle the rugged terrain and unpredictable weather? I hike in solo, set up quickly, and make contacts across multiple bands while battling the elements and making fast tactical decisions to stay safe.

📡 Topics Covered:
• SOTA hike-in with portable gear
• Field deployment of the CHA-SS25
• HF contact strategy and logging
• Real-world radio performance review
• Wind, altitude, and antenna durability

Welcome back to Temporarily Offline, I’m Steve (KM9G), and today we’re diving headfirst into some serious Raspberry Pi ham radio experimentation!

🔧 We’re playing with the Radioberry SDR Hat, paired with a Raspberry Pi 4 and powered by SparkSDR. This open-source setup is based on the Hermes-Lite architecture, using HPSDR protocols to create a fully functional software-defined transmitter that fits in your hand.

💡 Whether you’re new to SDR or you’re a hardcore RF tinkerer, this is the kind of project that proves ham radio is still alive and evolving. Let’s explore the possibilities together.
