Desert DX – Whale Peak Overnight

Desert DX - Whale Peak Overnight

The respite of a peaceful night on a desert summit was a much needed break from a hectic work week. To sweeten the deal, I knew "Radio Runner", Chris (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOHCTGeSGqt1r76DvVJH_ww) would be on a summit, and propagation conditions were looking good for a potential Summit-to-Summit contact. So we packed up the gear, met up with a friend, and set out for the desert. Hope you enjoy coming along for the journey.

If you have any questions about the gear I use, post in the comments below. You can also find a bunch of my favorites in my amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/k6arkportableradio. Amazon gives me a few pennies on the dollar for purchases through that link, but it doesn’t cost you any more.

Fully Wireless ICOM IC-705 to Computer Connection for Digital Modes (WSJT-X, JS8Call, WinLink)

Fully Wireless ICOM IC-705 to Computer Connection for Digital Modes (WSJT-X, JS8Call, WinLink)

-The dream of completely wireless connection between radio and computer is a reality with Firmware 1.20 on the ICOM IC-705. I know have a few of my computers setup to connect to my 705 on my home wifi AND in access point mode for fully portable control of the ham radio for running digital modes like JS8Call, WSJT-X and Winlink.
NOTE: There is a firmware version 1.24 out now, the same access point controls works on both 1.20 and 1.24 https://www.icomjapan.com/support/firmware_driver/3256/

CAVEAT: You must use the ICOM RS-BA1 control software for this to work. To date that software package is ~$150.00 https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-016328
