Got in a #Morsecode #pota #parksontheair activation early this morning before T-Storms. I get so EXCITED when I have a QSO with someone from Social Media, like this Park-to-Park with Scott #KW4NJA

1st time I've gotten kisses & love 🐕 during a #POTA #parksontheair activation. If only Cainan #N9FZ knew what was going on during our #MorseCode QSO this morning. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio

The @Tuftelndotnet #tufteln #kneeboard is not only great for a #QRP #QRPRADIO but also a perfect fit for my @qrplabs #QDX & #panasonic #toughpad for #FT8 #parksontheair #POTA work

Well, there goes the neighborhood. #spaceweather scraps today's #pota #parksontheair activities & #terrestrialweather does the same for the next few days. Hardly a 20M #FT8 signal with S6-7 noise level. MY MOODS😒😑😞😠🙁☹️ #AmateurRadio #hamradio

N4JAW, 26 days ago to hamradio

I need to take the "Big Dog" #ft891 out more often. It handles the bands so smoothly into an #EFHW using the #tenntenna 49:1 transformer and easy sending #morsecode using the American Morse Equipment #ultraportapaddle #hamradio #amateurradio #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

I haven't used #NE4TN Walt's 100 Watt 49:1 #TENNTENNA transformer in awhile. Going to take out for a #pota #parksontheair ride today to see how it handles this morning's band conditions. #solarcycle25 #solarstorm #amateurradio #hamradio

N4JAW, 27 days ago to amateurradio

Rough day for most #pota #parksontheair activators no matter the band. Even tough for #sota operators. Still nice to enjoy a beautiful day. #amateurradio #hamradio #morsecode #ultraportapaddle #ft891 #buddipole #buddipoleyagi

Taking the BIG DOG #FT891 out for tomorrow's #pota #parksontheair activation. Hoping Helios will bless me with some #6m openings using my #buddipole yagi. @AmateurRadio #hamradio #solarcycle25 #geomagneticstorm

Will it #POTA? Buddipole Six Meter Yagi. Tomorrow's #parksontheair activation is a @buddipole #Buddipole #6m try with #FT891 and #EFHW hang from the top for other bands #AmateurRadio #Hamradio Six Meters The Magic Band

And 20m went KAPUT. I've succumbed to Mother Nature's #geomagneticstorm. Running 20m #WSPR simultaneously with #FT8 to see what pans out on this #parksontheair #pota activation. #amateurradio #hamradio #solarcycle25 #spaceweather

It's Working. Only one 20m #morsecode #qrp #QSO but 20m #FT8 saved the day. Difficult syncing #GPS but so far my tools are working against the BIG BAD #geomagneticstorm #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Not me! These are the tools I'm throwing at the BIG BAD #geomagneticstorm for this morning's #parksontheair #pota activation. A #hb1b for #cw #morsecode, #QDX for #FT8 & #qcxmini for #wspr. EXPERIMENTATION is the foundation on which #amateurradio #hamradio was built.

N4JAW, 29 days ago to amateurradio

Having a blast with some #parksontheair #pota #FT8 action today. Lots of #DX activity across both sides of the ocean. Did someone say something about a #geomagneticstorm? #amateurradio #hamradio

N4JAW, 30 days ago to amateurradio

Heading out for some early morning #pota #parksontheair fun. Did I read something about a Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch? ☹️ #solarcycle25 #geomagneticstorm #solarflares #AmateurRado #hamradio

It was a double barrel of fun during today's #pota #parksontheair activation. #FT8 pileup was so intense I had to stand of a bit. Even got in a little #Morsecode. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio Thanks Todd #ke2aeq @KE2AEQ for hunting me today. Great to get you in my logbook.

Attached my American Morse Key Knee bracket and #morsecode #portapaddle to my wrist see if it would help my sending. NOPE!. Short early morning #POTA #parksontheair activation before T-storms arrived #AmateurRadio #hamradio @ParksOnTheAir

Always pushing that envelope. Trying something different using Porta Paddle key during this morning's #parksontheair #pota activation. Thanks Alan #w2aew @alanattek for the #morsecode #qrp #P2P this morning #amateurradio #hamradio

May the 4th was with me. The FORCE was strong with this one as the bands were awful again as expected with approaching storms. Hot, muggy and steamy weather on Kentucky Derby Day in Louisville, KY. #amateurradio #Hamradio #pota #parksontheair
