Tough #POTA #arksontheair activation today. Not only windy but #HFbands had lots of noise with pronounced #QSB. I felt like I was in an Allstate commercial. "Mayhem". But I did have an audience for a short spill. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Dreary,Cold,Misty #hamonabike ride to this morning's #POTA #parksontheair site US-7956. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio #HFbands were tolerable and managed a #Morsecode #CW P2P with #WC1N Bob and other familiar calls. Loving this #CWMOUSE Paddle by #KN6FQM @saahbs

The #hfbands feel empty without dozens of Italian SES stations.
It was fun, I even made quite a few #rtty contacts in the chase...
I _NEVER_ get enough of #hamradio ! ! !

The #hfbands were all over the place. But a #mclass #SolarFlare didn't stop #ft817 #qrpradio from making CW #morsecode #QSOs into Chile, western Canada Vince #VE6Lk @VE6LK, New England, eastern seaboard and Florida during this morning's #parksontheair #pota activation.

#HFBands were rough this morning with pronounced #QSB. Managed quite a few contacts on 40,30 and 20, meters and a few #POTA #parksontheiar #P2P like this one with Bob #WC1N @WC1N_radio CW #MorseCode #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Random fact o/t day.
I worked into USA on 10m without amp, only 20W and the yagi only at 8m high (tower not cranked up).
I was delighted to hear quite some CW activity.
Even North Dakota, which is a rare treat.

I wish I hade more time to be in the shack.
Maybe I should prioritize and do away with all non-ham BS, if it doesn't pay bills.

In spite of current #geomagneticstorm conditions on #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #HFbands earlier today had a nice #QRP 10m (28.340M) #SSB QSO with Special Event Station #W5PMZ from #SandiaNationalLab in Albuquerque, NM. form Kentucky

It's a long time that I've heard the #hfbands sound worst than scrambled eggs. #pota #parksontheair CW #morsecode #qrpradio #ft817 #amateurradio #hamradio

Here's hoping the #hfbands are in Olympic Gold conditions for this morning's endearing #pota #parksontheair #morsecode #qrpradio #hb1b activation. #amateurradio #hamradio

The weather, the #hfbands & #DX are perfect for a #parksontheair #pota activation from #beargrasscreekstatenaturepreserve US-7956. Thanks to all hunters who made this a GREAT evening for #amateurradio #hamradio #morsecode

It's #summersolstice2024 in the US. The weather, #hamradio #amateurradio #morsecode #FT8 #hfbands were in the words of Buster Poindexter and The Merryman were #hothothot #pota #parksontheair

The #HFbands are still kind of a drag but a beautiful morning for some #POTA #parksontheair action with the BIG DOG #FT891 into EFHW with the #TennTenna 49:1 transformer & keying done with the American Morse Equipment #ultraportpaddle #morsecode #amateurradio #hamradio

Another day another different antenna. 40/20 meter #linkeddipole built specially for my #qcxmini 40 & 20 meter #qrpradio. Couldn't break through #SolarFlare activity effecting #hfbands so tried some #qrpp #wspr on 40 meters

#solarstorm is bad this morning on all #hfbands making for a failed #pota #parksontheair activation. No worries, just blessed to enjoy the freshness of the early morning along #beargrasscreekstatenaturepreserve #amateurradio #hamradio #morsecode #qrpradio #ft817 #qrp #z817

So far I've finished reading Radcom then read the NCJ and On the Air from the ARRL, next QST and QRX, On the Air has an interesting description of Tropospheric ducting, like a wormhole between two locations..... The Stargate of Ham radio? lol #arrl #hfbands #hamradio
