CS25FB at 14258 from #wwff CTFF-0059 celebrating 15 years of the Private Protected Area Faia Brava. See you on the air! #hamradio #ctff

A bad #hamradio day is better than most things, but I was lucky and today was a great radio day from #wwff CTFF-0059. Faia Brava is a beautiful place! #ctff

I just activated Smallest National Park Historic Site US-11837. Log upload soon. #cw #qrp @lnrprecision #MTR3B #POTA #WWFF

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 close-up view of a hiking trail featuring rocks and dirt. A brown hiking shoe is visible in the foreground alongside three lizards. In the background, a person is seated with blue shoes, and there are green plants nearby.

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.

A map showing all our QSOs, ranging from the Canary Islands and Greece all the way up to Ireland, Norway, Finland and Russia.

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?
