It’s the age old statement – "the hobby is dying"… but is it really? Recruiting and retaining people especially youth in Amateur Radio can be a very tough thing to do.
Today Sterling N0SSC and I discuss the future of ham radio and the parts we can all play in making this a fun activity for all ages, genders and interests.

Lost Dutchman State Park has some interesting lore surrounding it. Sitting between the Goldfield Mountains and the Superstition Mountains, many have been drawn to this location in search of the Dutchman’s lost treasure. While historically interesting, it is also a beautiful place to set at a table and enjoy getting on the air with a ham radio. I wanted to participate in "Support Your Parks Weekend" and had planned on activating this park on Saturday that weekend. Then I saw a post on Discord about Brian N2BTD looking for somebody with whom he might join, to activate this state park. Sunday worked better for him, so we decided to go that day. It was a pleasure to meet-up with Brian and get this park in the books for Parks on The Air.

For this October activation I work four bands on Morse code, 60, 40, 30, and 20 meters, plus 20 meter sideband. The callsign of every chaser is included in this one. It’s a short hike to the top of Wolf mountain where I work 40 stations in the howling wind (off and on). Hike up, get on the air, get down for this SOTA & POTA activation. Happy Halloween!

Curt, KB9JQU, has a newer question around the topic of grounding. He is wondering how are you to ground when you are doing portable operations?
