This weekend was a little slow on the radio, but I managed to get 18 parks in the logs still! Mostly 20 meters, but there's a couple 40 meter ones. Prince Edward there is usually not one I get tho, so that's kinda an awesome hit!

Well, last weekend was kinda slow for my radio adventures, so I waited until this weekend to make my post & map for it all. Didn't do too bad. Yesterday and today kind of made up for the poor conditions last weekend. The 3 over to the UK area were digital on 6m during a quick opening this afternoon.

Here's my POTA haul for the last 2 weekends! The sun ahs been kind of difficult recently, so I'm a little shorter than usual, but I'm still really happy with all I got! I did manage to get a few new parks tho! Mostly all is 20m, with a few 40m, 17m and 10m stuck in there for giggles.

Welp, here's the weekend's contacts. Really annoyed with myself that I ended up doing digital (the blue ones) but in my defense, those were all 6m and 10m. The bands were open, so I decided to have a little fun with it. Otherwise, just the red ones are SSB, and that's all I could actually manage in propagation the way it was this weekend.

Saturday Night Fever - due to high temperatures I started radio activities shortly before sunset.
If my count is correct this was my #POTA activation #100 for DE-0192. #FT8 on #17m and #40m. More than 50 QSO on 6 continents.
In between police 🚔 showed up to check if everything was alright, but unfortunately they couldn't save me from being attacked by gigantic blood-thirsty midgets.
Furthest QSO ~ 15.000 km with #melbourne .
Thanks hunters! -

This weekend's haul wasn't too bad for how terrible conditions were. Propagation was pretty horrible, but still managed about 50 contacts. Can the sun please chill out a bit?

This weekend the HF bands were horrid. I did manage to get about 30 or so contacts, but definitely had to work for them! Green is 40m, blue is 20m, and the one purple is 17m. At least it was a good test for my new microphone, a Yaesu M-90D that I picked up at Dayton Hamvention this weekend. Certain circumstances required me to leave early, so I missed the fedihams meetup. =(

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!

I learned by listening to the #GordonWest cassette series from #RadioShack. When I took my tests, I think the license I got was called Tech Plus, or something like that.
I passed the 5wpm test, and they talked me into taking the 13wpm test. Somehow, I passed it, so at least I didn't have to take another code test for a while.
I never really could do #CW until I got on the air. There was a #Novice portion of #40m, and I hung out there, and it all worked

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.

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

This weekend, I am gonna participate in the #SKCC #WES ..
Since this is #StraightKey territory, I am gonna end call contacts with the old school "shave and a haircut" instead of just sending dit-dit.
Just cuz that was my favorite part of #MorseCode back when all I had was the #novice band on #40m.

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!

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!

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

Went 'up the hill' this morning for another #POTA activation. What I didn't know was that a huge magnetic storm was going on. When I realized it I decided to do #FT8 only.
The outcome was 45 QSO on #40m and #15m, with Sri Lanka as #atno.
Thanks chasers!
Spring is coming, 7 °C and partly overcast this morning. Some birds accompanied me but unfortunately I don't know what species they were.
