  1. 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?

  4. 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. =(

  7. 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!

  12. 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!

  15. #AmateurRadio #CW #MorseCode #HamRadio

    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

  20. 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.

  21. So I had a big problem of RF interference in the shack when I ran #ft8 on #40m...then I discovered the ground connection on the power supply and tied it to the station RF ground bus--just like it says in the @arrl Operating Manual. 💥 problem solved just like that!😅

  22. 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!

  27. 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.

  32. Is anyone out here using #JS8call ?

    I am experimenting with it on 40m now, and have my station up on #40m all day today. I'd appreciate any signal reports or messages to help test features.

    Let me know if you have a station on, and I'll send you a message.

  37. 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!
