Bill K0WHW joined me for this VERY EARLY activation of Lone Mountain Summits on the Air. This was the first day of summer bonus points, and the first time I was able to meet Bill.
Bill brought is LAB599 TX-500 along and I got an opportunity to operate with it a little. But honestly, VHF contacts stole the show on this activation. We both had our points in 1-2 minutes on VHF.
Bill has an excellent YouTube channel called Ham Radio Tectonics:

Summits on the Air, or commonly known as SOTA is a points based award scheme and fun activity for radio amateurs that encourages portable operation in mountainous areas. However SOTA is not just for mountaineers! There are awards for activators (those who ascend to the summits) and chasers (who either operate from home, a local hilltop or are even Activators on other summits).
G’day/Kia Ora bro! Your favorite Kiwi/Aussie combo are back and in this episode we’ll sit back, crack a few jokes and talk about how you can get involved, rules, the fun to be had, what to plan before your first Summits on the Air activation and the equipment you may need!
Let’s hang out and have fun on the Half Hour of Killllllowattt power!!

I have a friend, I’ll call him Tuje (pronounced Tooge). He has decades of experience in commercial VHF/UHF radio communications.. He wants to share his knowledge, but he also wants to remain anonymous. I offered to host his videos on my channel. So here is the first video in an ongoing series of helpful videos, primarily relating to VHF communications, but certainly not limited to that topic.
Tonight I welcome Kyle, AA0Z, back onto the stream to talk to us about setting up Node Red for a Field Day 2022 Dashboard. Kyle has some Git Hub links he will share with us so everyone can download this dashboard and use it for Field Day weekend, which is next weekend.

Let us understand what happens if you have a hill or mountain in the way of your radio signal because I recently published a video showing you what happens if you have a slope going towards the target! This is the other way around. We can calculate the angle between you and the hill and then work out the losses. 73. Callum.
