  1. Not too bad this weekend. I ended up with 39 POTA contacts on a mix of bands. It was rather fun, and got a few new ones that finally gave me 1000 parks hunted!

  4. This weekend was an interesting one. Yesterday was amazing band conditions and got most of my contacts, but today was kinda meh. There was lots of QRN, and propagation wasn't all that great. But ya know, I'll take 52 POTA contacts for a weekend! And I snuck one LLOTA contact in there too!

  5. Holy cow this weekend was insane on HF. I ended up with 142 SSB POTA contacts, on all bands from 40 meters to 10 meters. It was so much fun! The colors are listed in the image's ALT text. I think I need a vacation after all that!

  6. Spending this weekend working the new EFHW antenna, I got 96 POTA contacts across 10, 12, 17, 20 and 40 meters! All SSB, no digital! I am beyond happy with how it performs, and it even managed to get my last 2 states needed for hunting all 50 states in POTA!

  7. #Bouvet Island was the main target today while I once more #POTA activated DE-0192 this afternoon. I decided to build up the antenna for 10 to 15 m this time. The bad news is I didn't even hear 3Y0K. But #10m and #12m was a very good decision. 50 QSO of which 49 were #DX!
    A real bunch of US stations worked me, and South America was open as well: Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
    And South Africa! And Caribbean stations! Oh my!
    Thanks hunters!

  8. Well, it was such a nice day yesterday that I decided to put up the new EFHW antenna! Took a couple hours to get it in place and get it tuned up. It definitely works much better than I was expecting!

    Managed to get the tune so I don't need to use any tuner at all on all bands that it supports! Everything is under 2:1 SWR and some are even nearly 1:1 which I really didn't expect!

    The markers are color coded for the bands that I got contacts on. Green ones for 40 meters, orange ones for 30 meters, blue for 20 meters, cyan for 15 meters, and yellow for 10 meters!

    I can definitely recommend this antenna ( myantennas.com EFHW ) without question.

    Calling all #HamRadio operators!

    I'm active on 10 meters (28.078 MHz) running JS8Call at 5 Watts. Staying on air until evening while the propagation holds up.

    Status: HB and Auto-replies are ON.
    Request away: Feel free to send SNR? or other commands.

    Catch you on the waterfall! 73!

  11. Not a bad weekend for POTA! I made 25 contacts and a few new parks too! OHH! Also got my second LLOTA contact! I'm really hoping that catches on and does well. It'll be neat to have another locations based "contest".

  12. Well, 10 meter SSB was pretty much bleh this weekend, so I just did some digital for giggles. Got a few fun places, but would have loved to have much more SSB.

  13. Not too bad this weekend for a pretty poor 10 meter band. 15 contacts for "Support Your Parks Weekend". I'll take it! Also spent some time finishing up a few bits of my shack this weekend and put up a new grid square map. I'll put up some updated pics at some point!

  14. Well this was an interesting weekend for 10 meters. It was supposed to be poor conditions, but instead it decided to hit some stuff I usually can't get. I even managed to get a digital exchange with Easter Island!

  15. Today was really pretty good on 10 and 12 meters! Got 22 POTA contacts, all SSB, except one which was FM! That was really neat! It was such a clear communication, I was really amazed! And I got one contact up in Alaska all the way from Pennsylvania!

  16. New Year SSB pile! I managed to get 27 SSB POTA contacts today! 10 meters and 12 meters was wide open! So many wonderful operators out today, thank you to them all!

  17. @n8dmt dang!!

    yeah, these are the kinds of days where it is best to stay inside 🙂

    I hope you stay plenty warm and enjoy listening to the #10m contest!

  18. im Stau. Bonaire ruft aus 8000km #10m :-)

  19. This weekend was really good for #10m #SSB finally! The band is definitely waking up, and I'm so wanting to take advantage of it! Looking forward to more weekends like this one to get even more #POTA and such! Even managed to get one #SOTA contact too!

    On a side note, I found out my radio manages to tune my 10m antenna to #12m at a usable level. Obviously it's not the most efficient like that, but hey, it does work! Managed to get one contact!

  21. Today it rained my piggyback during my #POTA activation, but nevertheless it was fun: many #DX, Japan, South Korea, Canada, US, Panama, Venezuela, Madagascar on #10m #12m #15m. 59 QSO - thanks hunters!

  22. This was one crazy weekend for 10m amateur bands! I'm actually having a hard time coming up with things to say about it other than wow! Here's a map of all the contacts I made from Western PA. Yeah, just wow!

  23. This is my haul this weekend on the 10m and 6m ham bands. Not too bad, really! All FT8/FT4, but still I'll take it. There's even one all the way down at the Falkland Islands!

  24. I’m currently testing a new #EFHW for #40m, #20m, #15m and #10m. On some #SOTA summits there is not enough space to put up a full 20 m long antenna. So I have designed this one which is like a linked #EFHW, but you’re able to remove the outer half and get an antenna of just about 10 m length (for the #20m and #10m bands). #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #mtr3b #morsecode #hiking #mountains

  25. man, the bands are extra boring this evening, heh

    I feel spoiled from the past couple of years, lol when #15m - #10m were hopping

  26. Had a very interesting day today running #FT8 on the #6m and #10m bands! #6meters was pretty quiet, but #10meters had some really interesting surprises in store for me! I actually somehow managed to get an exchange with an #Antarctica research station today (DP0GVN)! I honestly thought Antarctica was one of those that I wouldn't ever manage at 100W and a horizontal omni antenna. Gotta mention South Africa too, 'cause that's just a sort of weird hop for #10meter to reach.

  27. geez, the bands are extra dead today above #20m 😢

    #17m - #10m is completely empty for me on #FT8 😮

  28. Well, finally got my rig set up for digital modes this weekend and decided to have a run at it! #FT8 is definitely interesting how well it can hear signals. Ended up with some really distant hits this weekend on both #6m and #10m bands. Will see how well it holds my interest over time.

  29. This weekend wasn't too bad playing #radio despite the solar storms. I managed 16 contacts between #20m and #40m today. I wish #10m and #6m would be a little more active, but I get the solar mess.

  30. Just had a #QSO with XE1UQZ - Victor in Mexico from Olney, IL on 28.450 MHz USB. His latest QSO was with a ham in Los Angeles. #10meters #QSOs #KE0FFTqsos #10m

  31. Having not use my CW #MorseCode #Vibroplex BUG in almost a year, my last 15 QSOs from my shack have been with it exclusively. Like this #AmateurRadio #hamradio #10m #DX to Chile from Kentucky-USA with #CE2SV Dale

  33. and they confirmed on #LoTW 😍

    Now I have #WAS on #80m #40m #30m #20m #17m #15m and #10m 👀

    I just need to finish off #12m WAS for the U.S., and if I get the right antenna setup soon, I'll try for #6m too

  34. Just worked ER4KAA in Moldova 🇲🇩 (Gridsquare: KN38 / distance: 8016.7 km) on 10m using FT8 #hamr #cloudlog #Moldova #FT8 #10m

  35. @particlesbbs nice!

    yeah, #10m and #12m seem to have been working nicely for me today too 🙂

  37. Fockin' hell man, I just couldn't get over it at all, monitoring 10m in my backyard for half an hour on two different channels from a radio with poor selection (antenna too low), so moved back inside and monitored same frequency on the hackrf with the attic antenna and caught a feller calling cq on USB.

    So now I've gone and run sufficient power up into the attic, strung up my antenna, and I've got a transceiver ready to go, while I am able to monitor via the other antenna and the hack rf at the foot of the stairs.

    CQ, dangit!
