Jim "Ham on a Bike"Part of my 5/29/2026 #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #QRPp #MorseCode CW #POTA #ParksOnTheAir activation using a 9 volt 200mW battery into my 40 meter @qrplabs #QCXmini
The #POTA #parksontheair Gods were in my favor during this morning's #QRPp #MorseCode Early Bird activation. Not bad for using a 9v battery and less than 200mW with my @qrplabs 40 meter #QCXMini
Life is NOT too short for #QRPp #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair CW #morsecode activations
Let's make this morning's #amateurradio #hamradio CW #morsecode #parksontheair #pota activation interesting with #QRPp power
Justin - KD0COVPOTA time on the Brown's Creek State Trail. Pretty little place on next to Stillwater, MN.
Doing some QRP and even #QRPP today, 2 contacts 1400+ miles away on .75 watts.
20m.
Keep em coming!
AlperI just realized the lack of #qrp hastag and related posts recently. Normally I used to see such topics daily now there are only some per week. What happened?
Getting some Flea-Watting Friday #QRPP contacts in on a snowy afternoon with 20m. Always a fun challenge.
FT8 for now. Trying FT4 on a new app and attempting to get the new JS8Call app going too.
Flea-watting Friday #QRPP in two shifts today on 20 Meters.
Just got done with one, 4 contacts in 15 minutes on 1 watt!
More to come tonight...
Productive night:
- Back to Flea-Watting Friday #QRPP on 40m. Getting contacts 1000s of miles away on teeny amount of power. Never not fun.
- APRS with a cable & plug into a cheapie Quansheng. Checked into an APRS net last night. More texting. Again - lo-fi/punk rock Ham Radio. Hit or miss still, but I like wishing my wife goodnight via SMS and Ham Radio, she thinks it's cute =D
- Still no Winliink, but the closest spot is probably too far for my 5 watts of HT power and car mountable antenna.
Sometimes you think it's a massive problem with the transmitter requiring solder, unscrewing, guessing, new parts, etc...
Other times it's just a tiny cable that needs replacing and you're back in business.
Today it's thankfully the latter. Flea-watting Friday resumes on 40m, with about 1 watt of power. FT8 now, JS8call later.
