I spent 6 days in Washington DC and activated 3 POTA sites in 2 activations on and within the National Mall. This is my after action report and brain dump of how others can activate easily and with minimal hassel from the public, police and park rangers.
In this video I show the Endurax Photography/Drone backpack that I purchased to keep my camera gear organized and in one place.
It would be awesome if you would consider Supporting Ham Radio Adventures Content!

Albert, N3XEI, lives in North Carolina and he sometimes listens to WWV but he can hear WWVH before he hears WWV. Why is this? Aren’t they suppose to be synced to the same accurate time?
