Another #wwff activity, this one from #ctff CTFF-0223. Windy but sunny! Currently CT7ARW/P at 21260 and CT7AWB/P at 14250. #hamradio

Closing the weekend with some radio. CT7ARW calling from CTFF-0465 for some CW #wwff #ctff #cw

FT-100 operated by CT7ARW from CTFF-0465

Teide National Park (#POTA ES-2324, ES-0210, #WWFF EAFF-0075) poses some unusual challenges due to the volcanic ground and the lack of trees or man-made structures. You have to be prepared to put up the antenna all self-supporting. Conditions today were difficult with 15 QSOs in 44 minutes on #20m. #HamRadio #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #qcxmini #morsecode #hiking #mountains #tenerife #canarias #travel

A person sits on rocks in a mountainous landscape, using a small amateur radio transceiver. A tall antenna is set up beside him against a clear blue sky, with sparse vegetation and rocky terrain surrounding the scene.

A scenic view of a rocky, arid landscape with distant mountains under a clear blue sky. The terrain features various rock formations and sparse vegetation.

A vertical pole stands (tied down with three paracord lines and tent pegs) in a barren landscape with rocky terrain and sparse vegetation. The ground is sandy with small stones, and mountains rise in the background under a clear blue sky.

My latest #hamradio project was writing a bash script to convert #fldigi logs for #pota and #wwff using #adifmt and #sed. Learned a lot about regular expressions the hard way.

Baracán (#SOTA EA8/TF-009, #POTA ES-2313, #WWFF EAFF-0567) offers splendid views over the Teno #mountains in the north of #Tenerife island. And it’s a lizard playground. Propagation into #Europe was nice with 34 QSOs in 43 minutes on #20m. #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #qcxmini #morsecode #hiking #spain #canarias

A mountain summit (Baracán on Tenerife island) with a view of a valley and distant peaks. An amateur radio wire antenna is propped with a portable mast against a concrete trigonometric point. The landscape is rocky with some vegetation and a partially cloudy sky.

A panoramic view of rolling green hills and rugged terrain overlooking the ocean, with the islands La Gomera and La Palma visible on the horizon under a partly cloudy sky.

Because some of you asked: You don’t need to pack a lot of things to have #XOTA fun while on vacation. Take a look at the pictures and their description for some basic ideas. #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #qcxmini #morsecode #hiking #sota #pota #wwff

The image features an olive portable bag (radio kit), two white drawstring cloth bags (guying kit and antenna kit), and a portable mast, laid out on a textured surface.

The radio kit: QCX mini transceiver, 2 m of coaxial cable, a lithium ion battery, a palm radio morse paddle, connecting cables and headphones. Not shown: a spare paddle.

The guying kit and the 6 m portable mast: some metres of paracord, three tent pegs, a flag for marking the wire, two clothes pegs, velcro ties, a carbine and short paracord pieces to attach the antenna to the mast.

The antenna kit: two tent pegs, 5 m of type II paracord, a matching unit and an endfed half wave antenna on a winder.

Cruz de Gala (#SOTA EA8/TF-007, #POTA ES-2313, #WWFF EAFF-0567) is an easy hike up. The summit itself has a couple of large radio towers which are currently under construction. So activate, take a couple of photos and leave: 39 QSOs on #20m in about an hour. #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #qcxmini #morsecode #hiking #mountains #tenerife #canarias

A natural landscape featuring a gravel path leading through pine trees, with a hill in the background (Cruz de Gala on Tenerife) topped by communication towers against a clear blue sky.

A telecommunications tower with large satellite dishes stands on rocky terrain. In the background, a Teide mountain is visible under a clear blue sky. There are some bags and amateur radio equipment placed on the ground nearby, along with sparse vegetation.

A tall plant with a slender stalk and clusters of green flowers is in the foreground, while a volcanic mountain is visible in the background against a clear blue sky.

Working as EA8/DK3IP/P I‘ll try to activate some #SOTA, #POTA and #WWFF entities along our hikes on #Tenerife the coming days. Today we started with ES-2313 = EAFF-0567 Parque Rural de Teno near the Lighthouse of Punta Teno. 12 QSOs in 28 minutes on #20m in #morsecode leave a lot of room for improvement. Hope to hear you on the next activation. #canaries #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #qcxmini #hiking

A coastal scene featuring rocky terrain, an amateur radio wire antenna on a portable mast, and a pathway leading to the ocean. In the background, a lighthouse (Faro de Teno on Tenerife) is visible on a cliff under a clear blue sky with a few scattered clouds. Waves crash against the rocks along the shore.

A volcanic landscape featuring a rugged mountain in the background (Montana de la Sahorra on Tenerife), with a rocky shoreline and calm blue waters in the foreground. The sky is clear with some clouds.

@DC6ST you also have several #wwff references in the island. It's difficult to pick the prettiest place so I'll just suggest the first that comes to mind: the Fanal Forest. Also, /P is not optional in Portugal. Have fun!

Hoje foi dia de dar a conhecer o #WWFF e o #CTFF aos escuteiros! 🌿
Durante a manhã, no âmbito do #JOTA, estivemos na Estação Nacional do CNE a apresentar o programa a um grupo de cerca de 60 escuteiros.
Um agradecimento especial ao Departamento Nacional de Radioescutismo por esta oportunidade de divulgação — e por promover, em conjunto, o radioamadorismo e a proteção da natureza! 💚📻

I just discovered this new and very usable mapping website for #POTA , #SOTA and #WWFF. Have a look to https://pota-map.fr

I had to get out again before it hit 90f, beautiful morning. #CW #QRP #FieldRadio #WWFF #hamradio

New #POTA #WWFF country unlocked: #NorthMacedonia 🇲🇰

Since #Albania wouldn't give us a #hamradio guest license, we just walked over the border into North Macedonia this evening, visited the Sveti Naum Monastery and did a 2-operator 3-park activation.

Lots of interference today, there were many stations we couldn't hear. But we walked home with 68 QSOs across all of Europe on 40/20/2 meters.

Well, I haven't operated from my shack on a long while. Having a blast catching any & everything including @VE6LK #POTA #SOTA, #SKCC #WWFF & whatever is left using my #vibroplex #vibroplexbug for #cw #morsecode & the Lollipop #astatic for #ssb Catch me on the $SKCCgroup #WES

Another successful #POTA #WWFF activation in #Italy #SouthTyrol, despite the mast falling over twice in a row as if I wasn't just a radio amateur, but a complete amateur...

IT-1298 IFF-1059 "Biotop Fallschauer". What a view.

159 QSOs in two and a half hours, one of the worst pile-ups I've had so far. Even DX stations from the US, Algeria and Ceuta called in. Wasn't #SpaceWeather supposed to be bad?

Finally built and tuned my new inverted-V fan dipole #antenna for #POTA #SOTA #WWFF. It's three 40m, 20m and 10m dipoles fed in the middle from the same box. I hang the feed point box from a rope I throw over some trees, or from my 10m #Spiderbeam, and then tie the antenna wires down with some pegs.

40m/20m/15m/10m/6m don't need a tuner.

60m/30m/17m work very well with a tuner.

The whole construction is ultralight, it's basically just the weight of the wires and ropes.

Just added profile page feature to WWFF Spotline! I think turned out nice.

#POTA DE-0618 Königsbrücker Heide (#WWFF DLFF-0141, #GMA DA/SX-230 Wettinhöhe) is a former military training area. When you climb the tower, you’re able to see the enormous size of it. There are two nice places to sit which allow you to put up decent antennas. Operating on #HF as well as #VHF and up from here is a blast. #HamRadio #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #mtr3b #morsecode #fm #hiking #mountains #Saxony
