My Radio FAILED When I Needed It Most… Then This Happened

My Radio FAILED When I Needed It Most… Then This Happened
My Radio FAILED When I Needed It Most… Then This Happened

🎯 When the radio fails mid-activation, do you give up—or dig in?

Join me on this real-world POTA/SOTA activation gone sideways at Scotts Bluff National Monument. What started as a promising day with a fresh go-bag and perfect conditions turned into a frustrating mess when my radio flatlined. No contacts, no signal, no clue.

This video takes you behind the scenes of the failure and the fix—how I diagnosed the issue, repaired the rig, and came back swinging to activate the park and snag those contacts. Along the way, I’ll also show you what’s in my new go-bag and how I’ve streamlined portable ops even further.

💥 Winlink? Nope. APRS? Nope. Voice? Dead air.
But I didn’t quit—and in the end, I made it work.

📡 Radios, repairs, redemption—this is ham radio in the real world.
Let’s go.

Salt Water Pool (Short #70)

@leecline2652 is wondering if a salt water pool can be used as a RF ground. Sea water can be used as a ground, so why can’t a simple salt water pool?
