Quick Parks on the Air activation of
Dunstable Brook Wildlife Management Area while my son Josh was at his club baseball practice. I was running QRP with my KH1.
It was my first activation of 2026.
Today was really pretty good on 10 and 12 meters! Got 22 POTA contacts, all SSB, except one which was FM! That was really neat! It was such a clear communication, I was really amazed! And I got one contact up in Alaska all the way from Pennsylvania!

Better day today so I got my set up going and tried out the new radio. First two contacts ever were DXes, Colombia and Coast Rica!
I was initially skeptical when Brad first proposed yet another ham study app. But when I saw his results so far, I was convinced enough to volunteer to maintain the Discourse forum for it. I also linked up questions to the ARRL chapters. He has a lot of other ideas to keep improving it, too! It's already useful, yet just getting started.
But a lot of its potential depends on you, the #HamRadio community!

📝 New #blost - "5 Years of Being a Ham"
Celebrating 5 years of being an #AmateurRadio operator and the fun that has come along with it.
Road test complete!
The pool noodle is super quiet. I was slightly concerned there might be loads of wind noise, but that turns out not to be even slightly the case.

The pool noodle sacrifice is complete!

Yesterday I went out for the first #ParksOnTheAir activation of the year. We've had beautiful snow in Hamburg at -1°C.
It was only a short one since it started snowing quite havily after only half an hour.
25 QSOs mainly in SSB.
