I just setup at K-1948. I'll be on 20m SSB for a while. Trying out my new solar panel, and the DX Commander Expedition, I won from @ham_coffee Coffee and Ham Radios. #POTA #HAMRS #DXCommander

I tried to activate NC. Thomas Wolfe Memorial State Historic Site US-6853 Had a very high noise floor being downtown Asheville and next to power lines. And GPS for Harmon Den Wildlife Management Area US-12662 tried having me get on a gravel road from I-40 that had a closed gate😢

It's been awhile since I've been able to play radio. I just activared Park US-5485 Harbison State Forest here in beautiful South Carolina. I plan to activate another park somewhere near Asheville NC in a few hours. Hope to catch some of you on the air.

@Chem_Coach I appreciate that you would have tried to get me in the log. I had to do a quick activation so I could get back on the road with a long drive ahead of me.

I have so many different #radios that it is easy to forget even simple things like configuring a PL tone for a repeater. So, I saved the URL to an online owner's manual on an #NFC sticker. Every little aid helps. #RadioShack #HTX202 #hamradio

POTA Update: I've had the Kilo (1000 QSOs) award for San Isabel NF (US-4407) for a while now. Yesterday, I passed 1000 Qs for Pike NF (US-4404), for my second Kilo. These two national forests are close to my house, so I often activate them.

@N3QEH I used my 100ah battery box to run my refrigerator and my 20ah battery box to run fans, and my solar panels to kept them topped off. I'll take fans over radio all day long over playing radio when I don't have power in 90°+ weather I guess I could have said sorry family It's FD 🙄

@K2ET_WNY I've tried clubs around here in the past. They're not for me.

Rebuilt the QTH 9:1 hybrid. Also got the height up another 10' or so on the feed end. The 71' random wire has never sounded better 😎💫
