I had a really nice activation tonight. I think I fumbled a couple QSOs, but got my first SSB only activation and a good few more than 10 contacts.
It was so nice out and I hadn’t converted the forecast to utc so I got a little wet on my way home, but got to shelter and waited it out with snacks. Rain felt good. 9/10
After failing to activate SSB yesterday, I came back to try again deeper in the park. I got plenty of phone calls right in a row then they stopped and I was fine with that!
Lovely night in Fort Snelling state park, despite the heat. It’s really breezy too.
I have been doing the Koch method on LCWO. I know there are other things to try, but I also feel the need to finish this!
You can see my accuracy dropped and stalled, but I finally have completely stopped pausing or replaying and also increased the farnsworth speed to 25 (but I am still going fairly slow for effective speed until I am copying all the characters)
It's nice to see I am progressing at least!
I am officially a #hamonabike !
I went to the nearest #pota park for my first activation. My cw is still not quite there and I didn’t really want to make a ton of noise in this particular park, so I did #ft8 for this one.
Thanks to some tips from other biking hams, I knew I could bind a fishing rod to my top tube and also use my bike to lift it. I loved being able to adjust its position easily and was far less limited than trying to find some type of conveniently located post.
