Just once this summer I’d like to remember everything necessary to do 6m FT8 on my lunch break. This time twas grabbing the QDX instead of the QMX+, which is the one that does 6 meters 🤦🏻♂️
Did catch a good net, the weekly 2 meter Triangle Mutual Aid net, controlled by @mbroome and co-staring @llorenzin and @beckett ❤️🖤

Week 29 of the #HamChallenge: Make your own xOTA activation
I interpreted this as "get a type of place on the air which doesn't already have an established xOTA program."
This is PLOTA: Parking Lots on the Air. I semi-regularly try to activate the top of a parking deck at work over lunch. Looking forward to fall 🥵

Successful lunch break PLOTA activation (Parking Lots on the Air) on 10 meter FT8! Tho I did have to take an extra half hour to reach ten QSOs 😉.
First outing with the QMX+ and a cable I made with an in-line buck converter to use a regular 13.8V battery.
Session included one QSO in Ontario, a new grid in Argentina, and two new states (CT, ME). From Raleigh with 4 watts and a whip!
