San Diego #SOTA in the snow this morning up Long Valley Peak near Pine Valley. Good prop on 20m today. Got into NY and a S2S into CT on 15m with WB2FUV! #amateurradio #hamradio #hiking #socal

Nice hike up Nonou Mountain on Kauai for a #SOTA activation this afternoon. KX2 batteries were a little low so it was a quick one! #hamradio #amateurradio #morsecode

Sun setting at the temporary QTH

Cleaned up the Japanese replica J-38. A couple days of soaking metal parts in vinegar and I also replaced the 50-year-old grease in the bearings and lubricated the spring. I planned to sand and refinish the base but opted to ultimately forego that. #hamradio #amateurradio #SKCC #telegraphy

New right-angle bug in the shack! #hamradio #amateurradio #morse

Just discovered how to make awesome 3D QSO maps! Here is an example from a multi-day log from when I was in Scotland recently #hamradio #amateurradio #sota #scotland

Repaired Norcal 40A working well! Receiver is amazingly quiet. Almost no power out when i received this and determined RFC1 was failed and so no power was getting to Q7 to amp the signal. Replaced the inductor with a 15 uH (didn’t have 18) and now we are getting 2.2 watts out! #hamradio #amateurradio #sota #norcal40
