  1. Maritime mobile today as M1HAX/MM aboard a sailing yacht in the English Channel. The KX2's internal ATU tuned the rigging to a 1:1 match on 20 metres. 15 contacts across Europe including several SOTA and POTA chases. QRP portable operating doesn't get much more portable than this. Have you ever operated from a moving vessel, or is maritime mobile on your to-do list?

  6. Closing out the winter bonus season on 15th March with an activation of GW/NW-012 "Cadair Berwyn". 🎯 226 activator points so far this year. Cold but a great shelter at the summit! #sota #portableops #amateurradio

  7. 28 SOTA points achieved this weekend in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 enjoying the sunshine. Thanks chasers and summit to summit activators! ⛰️📻 #summitsontheair #portableops #qrp #hamr #hamradio

  8. Great day SOTA-ing in South Wales today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 the beautiful sunny weather meant easy mode for the SOTA winter bonus. Two summits for 19km walking and 16 points. Plenty of activity on 70cms and 20m.

  9. Three easier Summits on the Air hills in South Wales ticked off today including a new one, Allt yr Esgair. New “Slim G” 2m antenna and HT combo didn’t live up to expectations but will persevere.. Good conditions on 20m/17m tho.

  10. Icy and windy Summits on the Air activation of Fan Gyhirych earlier. Didn’t see anyone else on the hills all day. Bit too fresh to setup a dipole for HF this time but continuing to have success with 70cms.

  11. A memorable #SOTA activation of GW/NW-040 "Tal y Fan" in North Wales with a sensational cloud inversion! ☀️☁️ Plenty of contacts on 10-40 metres with my KX2 (10 watts) including a Summit to Summit with Fabio IK2LEY/P in Switzerland and KD1CT in New Hampshire (USA). #hamr #sota #portableops

  12. An enjoyable although very windy hike to the summit of G/SB-001 "The Cheviot" (815m) for #SummitsOnTheAir on 19/10/24. Plenty of QSOs on 20m and some on VHF too! #hamr #portableops

  13. @AJ6CL and I had an awesome drive and hit two SOTA summits today (W6/CT-095 and W6/CT-259). Being drive-ups, I brough my 100w radio as well as the KX2 if we had to do any hiking. And realized on arrival I hadn't brought my coax bag.

    Fortunately, Martin had coax for HIS antenna, so we both activated with the KX2. 10m was awesome-not one but TWO QSOs to France, single side band and ten watts. Gorgeous shirtsleeve weather, killer views.

  14. Just contacted AJ6CL on Tioga Mountain in the Sierras 400 miles away, just two days after he and I activated 4 different 8k footers in Ventura and Kern counties (and had an awesome camping trip in the process). Martin is a beast!

    Amazing what 5 watts, a bit of wire, and a Morse key can do.

  15. New DX QRP personal best today, 9306km from the summit of 🇩🇪 Zugspitze (Germany’s tallest mountain) to JI0LQJ/0 in 🇯🇵 Japan. Elecraft KX2 with AX1 vertical on 18.130 MHz. 👌

  16. A Summits on the Air activation of 🇩🇪 DL/AL-181 Burgkranzegger Horn (1151m) this afternoon. Struggled to get the 4th contact with the Elecraft AX1 on the 20 metre band, but got there eventually. New path system isn’t reflected on maps! #hamradio #sota #portableops

  17. Radio activation of Nagy-Hárs-hegy 🇭🇺 as HA/M1HAX/P. About a 5km round trip from János-hegy. Very hot ☀️ and lots of mosquitoes 🦟. The wooden lookout tower at the summit provided a great operating position. #sota #amateurradio #portableops

  18. Last weekend I activated Semaforo IS0/IS-266 (“Traffic Light”) on the island of Sardinia. This special hill hosts the ruins of a radio laboratory used by Marconi, who was born 150 years ago. #sardegna #hamradio #sota #italy #SummitsOnTheAir #PortableOps

  19. It was a great day for playing #SummitsOnTheAir in the PNW yesterday. We had 34 ops out on 20+ summits for the W7O/WV Spring S2S Party.

    We ran net control for the event from W7O/NC-051 and it took just over 1 hour 45 minutes to work through every iteration of ops working each other.

  20. This is the results from 10 watts out of x6100 with the hex beam pointed east. Looks like I was rx'ed on 6 continents, I made contact with EU, AS, NA and SA looks like a pretty successful test. SWR was great on all the bands with no tuner #HexBeam #FT8 #PortableOps

  21. Is everyone ready for the Freeze Your Butt Off qrp contest tomorrow? Myself and W7MTB will be activating Lava Butte (W7O/CE-188) for #SOTA along with #FYBO.
