I’ve been having fun learning how to process video into content that tells a story or documents an event. These POTA activations are a great way for me learn more on this topic. This video shows the ride over to the park, the setup of the antenna (my perverted end fed link antenna) and some of the CW and SSB contacts that I made. The CW contacts have notes on the station that I was working in case you can’t copy the CW. I did not put all the contacts in this video because it would be long and boring. I hope you enjoy this little presentation.
73. PS: comments are welcome and appreciated. – if you want to see more about the antenna used here, see my video titled “No compromise antenna & how I built it.”
