Catch me on the air Saturday June 7 from 11am-12pm (1600-1700z) on 20 meters. I’m activating the submarine USS Cobia for Museum Ships Weekend. Special event call sign NB9QV. Watch DX Summit for frequency. ~KB9VBR

"Hey, this would be a great walkie talkie on CB!"

yeah, about that...

Today, I chose to put my new Radtel RT-880G on my #TinySA.

Unfortunately, my RT-880G chose violence.

I created myself a band plan for my field binder.

Two questions:

* Would you be interested in having this available in a more standard paper format (A5 or even A6)?
* What information would you add?

It doesn't look like much, but I'm learning how to track planes via radio here at the house πŸ™‚ This is just a proof of concept to see if it'd work. Answer is.. yes. #radio #sdr #planes

So, I β€œbuilt” a 20m vertical ground plane antenna out of some wire and a 1:1 balun to finally get on 20.

I’m addicted.

My very first QSO on HF was 1,200 miles to Ontario from Texas!!! After that, I talked to Arizona, South Carolina, and New York. All with 40 watts on a DIY antenna strung up in a tree.

POTA Activation – Milton Keynes ARS

This weekend I'm going to do a #ParksOnTheAir of Pinecone Burke Provincial Park and hopefully a #SummitsOnTheAir activation of Burke Peak. Will be in the park from Saturday to Monday although we'll likely be packing up and hiking out all day Monday.

40/20/15/2m bands, SSB and FM. Maybe hunting on CW.

Did my first #pota! I was unsuccessful on SSB, not sure if it was my fault but I was successful on FT8.
