    HAMRS is the best to log in the field! PowerPoles are your friend. Another thing you’ll do, at one time or another, is your entire setup will evolve and change over time. Great video. 73!

      Well said! Thanks for the tips!
      I definitely have started transitioning almost everything in my shack over to Power Poles! WAY simpler to manage!
      Thanks for watching!

    All great tips. Glad you got the POTA bug! I totally agree about having a backup or spares, especially when you start driving two or three hours away from home. Good luck. N3EDO.

    Totally agree with the powerpoles and the antenna supports. I ruined the whip on my first Buddistick at a park when the wind blew the tripod over and it struck the roof of the shelter I was under. Thankfully back then a new whip was only like $12

    Some good lessons for new activators.

    The RUclips algorithm recommended your channel. I decided to subscribe since you're using an FT-891 as your POTA HF rig. Hope you do more POTA content with your FT-891.

    You will soon be bitten by the go-bag bug! My ElmerSense is spiking.

      And I’ll be sure to blame TO when that happens!😂 I’ll be sure to watch some TO videos on go-bags as well once I’m ready!
      Thanks for checking out the video!

    The best beginner's video for POTA activators I have seen on RUclips. If I was just getting started on POTA, this is the video I want to learn from.
    Wow!!! This video is highly recommended for anyone wanting to start Activating POTA.
    Key area in video, Talk Slowly, SLOW DOWN, Try different modes.
    73 Marn, will be looking for more videos from you.
