On a return visit to the Navajo Nation, I once again stayed over at Herb’s place and we had fun exploring the area. In this video I take you along as we activate a SOTA summit that has never been activated. Herb and I were the first to put it on the air.

Portable Ham Radio Gear Used and Designed by Joshua N5FY from Tufteln.com

Portable Ham Radio Gear Used and Designed by Joshua N5FY from Tufteln.com

I met Joshua N5FY at Hamvention 2024. I joined him and Thomas K4SWL for a couple of POTA activations following the hamfest. Joshua has designed some very nice 3D printed accessories for Summits on the Air and Parks on the Air stations. He designs the accessories and then uses them in the field, so they are thoroughly tested. Josh joins us today to talk a little bit about his SOTA and POTA adventures, as well as his business making 3D printed accessories.

Joshua’s Website: https://tufteln.com/

Join us as we talk about how YOU can get involved in portable radio in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone “AP/DZ”. Every aspect of Portable Ops is explored in this biweekly live stream as we discuss news, gear, achievements, the workbench, contests, awards and more – find all Portable Ops related topics here.
