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.

Another day another different antenna. 40 - 15 #linkeddipole built specifically for my #hb1b. 25' RG174 Coax extension kite holders with kite string to support ends of legs of dipole, stakesbto hold in place & 125' arborist line with 14oz weight #hamradio #amateurradio #pota #parksontheair @ParksOnTheAir

#QRP doubters? Here's what 5 watts into my #Youkits #HB1B #qrpradio using a #DIY 40-15 #LinkedDipole up 30 feet gave me during a #POTA #parksontheair yesterday morning. 20 on 20m, 2 on 30m & one 17m Sweden. #cwoperator #MorseCode #AmateurRadio #hamradio #cwmorse #SP4

Not only did I put the #qrpguys mini tuner into service but also a 28' gently used Jackite pole from Ebay for $50. #pota #parksontheair #cwoperator #morsecode #cw #amateurradio #hamradio @youkits #hb1b #ultraportapaddle

This is a new one for me. Hands were so sweaty they kept sliding off keyer paddles. Gloves didn't help. At 0830 EDT 1230 UTC it was 78° with humidity of 77%. Even the sweat was sweating. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode #qrpradio #hb1b #ultraportapaddle #pota #parksontheair

This combination of the @Youkits #hb1b & #ultraportapaddle seem to make a great pair for #amateurradio #hamradio #cw #morsecode #parksontheair #pota activations I think the deer like it too

Lots of #qrn on 40 meters this morning but it was busy. About to wrap up this #qrpradio #hb1b #ultraportapaddle #hamradio #cwoperator #amateurradio #pota #morsecode #parksontheair activation. At 830 EDT it's 83°. It's a Glenn Frey Axel Foley Day "The Heat is On"

No Giraffes for today's #pota #parksontheair activation but plenty of deer and fawns. #AmateurRadio #hamradio #MorseCode #CWwoperator #AmericanMorse #ultraportapaddle @Youkits #hb1b

Since there is a continual thunderstorm threat today, may as well build an ultra light 28.5' QRP random wire with 26AWG Stealth #diyantenna for use with my Z817 Autotuner and #ft817 plus with #HB1B #amateurradio #hamradio #antenna
