Set out this morning to test out #FT8 on my #truSDX using my little portable #20m loaded whip antenna. A local coffee shop has a nice patio, and really nice coffee: a great spot to operate #QRP from!
Sadly the USB cable I brought with me didn't work... but, the RBN did pick me up on CW using battery power and just over 3W!
I know about #POTA, #SOTA, #IOTA, #COTA, and even #WMPLOTA ... but what about starting Coffee Shops On The Air (#CSOTA)? Just a thought...
A collection of what I've already come across in the meantime:
- World Lighthouses On The Air (#WLOTA)
- (Wind)Mills On The Air (#MOTA)
- Random Metal Objects On The Air (#RMOOTA)
- Boats on the air (I guess the same as Beaches On The Air in the end, even the same acronym #BOTA)
- Walmart Parking Lots on the Air (#WMPLOTA).
- Porta Potties On The Air (#PPOTA)
- Jamboree On The Air (#JOTA)
- Graveyards On The Air (seems to be a joke, #GOTA is already used for #FieldDay anyways)
#WMPLOTA (Walmart Parking Lots On The Air) is back for another year!
