Radio for preparedness: What lessons can we learn from Hurricane Helene?
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know about the devastation caused by hurricane Helene. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee have all been impacted by the storm. In the particularly hard hit area near Ashville, NC ham radio has been used to great effect for everything from health and welfare checks to directing supply drops and emergency evacuation requests. While there have been many hams (and non hams) who have been instrumental in the effort radio has played, one in particular stands out. Dan Gitro, K2DMG, has done an amazing job handling an insane amount of traffic. Dan, good on you man. You deserve all of the praise you're receiving.

CW POTA at US-4567 with the Yaesu 891
Просмотров 3994 часа назад
Today I'm back in Owego, NY for another Parks On The Air activation. I was going to do a QRP activation yesterday at US-5221 but the band conditions were horrendous in the morning. I was in a bit of a hurry, as I had an appointment I had to get to, so I figured I'd forgo the QRP radio. Band conditions were weird, with lots of QSB. We got the job done though, with 15 in the log. I'm really glad ...
QRP Head 2 Head Episode 12: mcHF vs. KX2
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.21 час назад
We're back for another installment of the QRP Head 2 Head series. Today we're going to take a look at the mcHF Tranciever. This is an interesting radio. It has a ton of features packed into a very small package. This particular radio is on loan from my buddy Dugbo KD7DUG. Let's see how it stacks up against the Elecraft KX2 and see who comes out on top. Thanks for watching and 73! Evan K2EJT buy...
CW SOTA at Mt. Utsayantha
Просмотров 43614 дней назад
I decided to head back to Mt. Utsayantha W2/GC-026 for a Summits on the Air activation. Band conditions were in the dumps, so I brought the FT-891 hoping the extra power would help. Turns out the bands were better than they had been earlier in the day, and it was a pretty fast activation, with 19 in the log. This is a cool place, and an easy summit to activate if you have limited mobility becau...
Morning CW POTA with the FX-4CR
Просмотров 62721 день назад
I'm back at US-4567 again this morning. I wanted to go to Oakley Corners, but everything there is a muddy mess from Hurricane Debby blowing through two days ago, so I decided to come back here once again. I'm using the BG2FX FX-4CR today, along with the BaMaTech TPIII and Wolf River Coils Sporty Forty and 213" whip. This was a pretty quick activation. I attempted to do some SSB at the end but.....
CW POTA with my new Yaesu FT 891
Просмотров 819Месяц назад
Today I'm back at Hickories park in Owego, NY.....which is within US-4567, for another CW Parks On The Air activation. I decided with band conditions being as crummy as they have been I'd invest in a 100w field rig. I didn't want a radio the size of my already huge FTDX10, so my choices were limited. I decided to buy an FT-891, and so far I'm very impressed with it. The audio is excellent, the ...
POTA/SOTA CW QSO Lingo: What does all of that nonsense even mean?
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Месяц назад
This video was the result of a conversation several of us had on a CW Discord server today (The QBL Club Lid Lounge to be specific. IYKYK). Aaron Bowman W4ARB mentioned he'd had people ask him to put subtitles in his videos, but doesn't because the amount of work is nuts (it is). I had literally just finished uploading a video where I had put one entire QSO exchange in the video so people could...
CW POTA with the CFT-1 QRP radio, WRC antenna, and Begali Expedition key
Просмотров 857Месяц назад
Today I'm back in Owego, NY for another CW Parks On The Air activation using the new CFT-1 QRP CW radio by Jonathan Kayne KM4CFT. This radio is quickly becoming my favorite little CW only rig. This is the final firmware revision, and the thing is flawless now. It was a pretty slow activation. I got a late start, and the sun wasn't happy. Regardless, it was a valid and successful activation. Tha...
Which radio service is right for you? Ham, FRS, GMRS, MURS, CB and LMR compared.
Просмотров 364Месяц назад
There are LOTS of radio services available in the United States. Each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Today we'll take a look at six different services, and discuss why you might choose one over the other (or in my case choose multiple depending on the situation). We'll look at ham radio, FRS, GMRS, MURS, CB and LMR and talk about the basics of each service. We'll take a brief look a...
SOTA Loadout: What do I carry in my pack?
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.Месяц назад
I've recently had a discussion with several people about what I carry when I do hike up SOTA (or way off the beaten path POTA) activations. A lot of conversation was around pack weight, and how to keep it down. I was surprised at what some of these guys carry for pack weight (35lbs? Really?). My typical pack for a simple hike in POTA is about 10lbs, including the radio. My SOTA kit is generally...
