I experimented setting up for #6meters last night for the first time. No contacts made, but I did figure out that my BCA-300 Dual-Band Mag Mount Antenna tunes nicely using the Yaesu 857D and the YT-100 tuner. So maybe sometime in the not too distant future I’ll actually make a QSO. I was tuned to 52.540 as it’s one of the designated frequencies for HamActive’s #WINTERHEAT event. #6m

“At just half a day into #WINTERHEAT2024 participants have already made over 3,100 contacts.

Last year the event saw over 207,000 contacts being made and the goal for this year is to make a quarter of a million contacts.

Reach out to your local hams, mention the event on your local Facebook Groups, help spread the word about the event to help make that quarter million contact goal a reality.” #WinterHeat #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #hamr

Got my first #WinterHeat2024 QSO this morning at 0417CST / 1017UTC. There are a couple of us participating here in Olney, Illinois - and luckily we’re working similar schedules. #WinterHeat

Listening to some #StraightKeyNight #MorseCode QSO’s on the #CountyCommGP5ssb radio and monitoring 2m / 70cm for simplex #WinterHeat calls on the #AnyTone878uv while processing messages at work tonight. I have headphones - otherwise my coworkers would hate me. #SKN

"#WINTERHEAT, now in its fifth year, stands as a month-long #UHF / #VHF #simplex event crafted to empower #AmateurRadio operators by offering a dedicated platform to test and enhance their UHF/VHF capabilities. From its inception, WINTERHEAT aimed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of stations, encouraging operators to adapt and refine their equipment setups throughout the month-long event…” #HamRadio #hamr ~ https://hamactive.com/index.php

#WinterHeat

It’s the middle of #winter in #SouthAmerica.

In #BuenosAires, where the average high on Aug. 1 is 14°C, it surpassed 30°C on Tuesday. Temperatures Tuesday rose past 35°C in numerous locations, including at elevations of above 1000 m bis 1400m in the #Andes foothills. In some cases, the temperature crested above 38°C after leaping from morning lows in the single-digits Celsius.

#ExtremeWeather

finally got some points on the board in #winterheat and the #arrljanvhfcontest

I keep striking out doing the #winterheat #hamradio thing, still at 0 points in the month-long contest 😭

But getting my VHF/UHF antenna back up has led to some great times on #DMR TG91 & TG93! I might need to get the jumbospot connected more often! #hamr #AmateurRadio

@KE0FFT so jealous! I use my Bluetooth PTT button with a headset around the house, but still striking out on #winterheat up here in EN61. I really need to change that soon.

Made my first #WINTERHEAT2023 QSO today. Both of us were mobile in O’Fallon, IL. Freq. 147.57 at 0831CST / 1431UTC.

Here’s a bit of fun #TruckerHam trivia for you. There is an O’Fallon, MO (off of I-64) about 37mi west of St. Louis, MO *and* there’s another O’Fallon, this one in Illinois (also off of I-64) about 18 miles *east* of St. Louis, MO.

Still striking out on #winterheat #hamradio shenanigans this year. Anyone within 50ish miles of Chicago want to hop on 147.570mhz tonight? Yes, I know my clock is way off on the radio, need to fix GPS antenna soon!

@ham_bitious are you doing hamactive.com’s #winterheat too? Been trying to get some points on that month-long VHF/UHF contest, but I’m striking out thus far :(

Starting my #WinterHeat on day 2.

So far I've made one contact.

@KE8UPE @ka3ttt so happy to see #winterheat on ham radio mastadon! I haven't gotten any points yet but hoping to change that today
