Welcome to my blog page!

Thanks for stopping by! You'll find radio-related blog entries here, the GREAT majority of which will be related to SOTA (Summits on the Air). I run QRP, almost always at 4 watts unless I'm using a different radio.

Videos can be found on my YouTube channel.

Other information can be found on my webpage. Learning CW, more about SOTA, and a few other things.

Summits on the Air ATNO Granite Mt., rough one, still problems on 40m

 

This is yet another unactivated summit that I have left until now--mostly because I knew it was going to be tough. There's not an easy approach. I have scouted it a couple of times and finally felt ready to tackle it. From my last troubles with the QCX Mini on 40m, I did some testing at home and all was well, but not so much when on the summit. Focus on using the UMPP-1 key (from GM0EUL).
