  1. Marvellous weather conditions pulled me outdoors to do another #POTA activation. #40m, #20m and #17m were fun for #SSB and #Digimodes. North America and Japan were in the log. In the end 84 QSO.
    Thanks hunters!

  6. 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!

  9. The last 2 weekends in one map. The bands have been horrible lately, and this is all I got. Mostly all on 20 meters, a few on 40 meters. It was tough but fun.

  10. I put up my antenna wire today one more time for #POTA. My tuner has a power problem, so this time I had to work without it. Measuring my inverted vee with my analyzer I found out it was completely out of tune. Took some time to fix that but it was worth it. 29 QSO on #17m and #20m with Timor Leste as an #ATNO.
    Thanks hunters!

  11. Today the #POTA activation was a hard piece of work. #17m was closed this morning, so I had to change the endfed antenna to #20m. It took an unusual long time to get the necessary QSO. In the end I was rewarded with Central African Republic, New Zealand, Panama and Brazil. 🇨🇫🇳🇿🇵🇦🇧🇷
    Thanks hunters!

  17. Been really enjoying the EFHW antenna for sure! I'm coloring the markers by band now, 'cause that seems way more interesting. I'm especially happy to get Nova Scotia this weekend!

    Red=80m Green=40m Blue=20m Purple=17m

  23. 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!

  24. 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!

  25. Wow, the solar storm really made things difficult this weekend. Only manages a few contacts, but it was still fun!

  27. 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!

  28. Another #POTA early shift for DE-0192. Though it was sunny today there were only 2° C in the early morning hours.
    On #40m #DX westward was sometimes possible (U. S., Aruba, Canada). No luck on #15m today. #20m yielded Cuba, Kuwait and Morocco. 88 QSO on all three bands.
    Thanks hunters!

  29. 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.

  30. After visiting #SAFA we (DA6TW, DB6LX and me) activated DE-0192 for #POTA and also 4 bunkers of german #BOTA program. @do5dos had a close look onto our activities.
    Funny, because I originally had thought about activating but then decided not to bring my equipment. But others did! 😎
    So I made 21 #ssb QSO on #20m.
    Thanks hunters! 🤠

  31. Foggy but not really cold (8° C) were the #wx conditions today for another #POTA activation. #40m early this morning allowed some grey line DX to Brazil and Trinidad & Tobago. Also I could work the J51A DXpedition in Guinea-Bissau. Another #ATNO is Sint Maarten. #15m and #20m were also worked. In the end 111 QSO were in the log.
    Thanks hunters!

  32. This weekend I pulled out the Buddipole and did 20m, since it's so amazingly nice out! 44℉ (7℃)

    Managed to log 58 contacts all weekend, which is one of my best yet!

  33. Today I forgot to bring my laptop up the hill. Therefore I was forced to do #amateurradio the old style, talk to hams via #ssb instead of doing #ft8. It was a welcome change that made me join the #RSGB contest on #40m plus a #POTA activation on #20m.
    Thanks hunters!

    #hamradio

  34. I'm catching a little bit of time on #FT8 this morning before the others in the house wake up, lol

    I'm currently, sporadically, working folks on #20m

  35. Today's #POTA early shift activation took place with hoarfrost.
    Every minute at sunrise reduced the likelihood of #DX on #40m. At least I could work Trinidad and Tobago.
    In the end 57 data QSO in #40m, #20m and #15m.
    Thanks hunters!

  36. The proverbial 'wire out of the window' enabled me to join the CQ WW DX Contest #CW this afternoon, at least for #20m and #15m. Two dozens of QSO in the log. I hope the other stations could read my stammering.
    #hamradio #amateurradio

  37. Today's #POTA activation of DE-0192 was different than on other occasions. First foggy then cloudy #wx, 9° C with no wind. In the end more than 120 (!) QSO were in the log and 1 #ATNO: Burundi.
    Especially #FT8 and #FT4 on #20m was a never ending pile-up! Like lions that had no food for weeks they chased me ...
    Thanks hunters! 🤠

  38. Teide National Park (#POTA ES-2324, ES-0210, #WWFF EAFF-0075) poses some unusual challenges due to the volcanic ground and the lack of trees or man-made structures. You have to be prepared to put up the antenna all self-supporting.
