What’s are the current entry portals to ham radio? The Tech, of course. But we’re hearing lots of GMRS ops saying they’re getting ham licenses. We’ll explore it in depth. Also, Kyle and Sun Drop Envy, and Gary got an FTM 300 to play with. An ‘unboxing’? Maybe.

I met Vince VE6LK and Thomas K4SWL at Hamvention this year. They graciously allowed me to tag along on a couple of “Parks on the Air” activations. Admittedly, I am still relatively new to POTA and I learned a bunch from Vince, Thomas and Eric on this activation.
This was the last day of Hamvention with my flight leaving later that day. So, we were a bit pressed for time. I had some struggles but the experienced POTA activators saved the day.

In this video I set up my prototype CaHR QRP EFHW antenna to do some testing. The antenna isn’t available yet so for now I test we are small and we take small steps. the antenna will actually cover higher than qrp so will be perfect for something like a G90. Even at less than 10′ horizontal I was still able to hear as far away as Hawaii form Chicago with very little noise. I was also able to make about 10 contacts in about 1/2 hour with 10 watts. I did also check the antenna on 40m and it seemed to get out about 300 miles or so. .Next time I want to test on 40m more and get more data.
Tonight Jason @KM4ACK and I tell you what the Hamvention Challenge is, relive the excitement and tell you how the winner won an ICOM IC-7300
