Building Antennas with the “Dually” 

That would have been interesting to say the least. I've heard of loading up stuff like bedsprings, ladders, metal rain gutters, even curtain rods, just to see how they will perform and what can be worked.

It was great and I’m so glad I found this spot. There are concrete footing pads at all four corners of the tower that might actually help me out. We will see very soon. 73 my friend!

My question exactly. Researching suffixes today.

Whiskey one represents the ARRL call area that he's operating out of. New England is whiskey one, Southeast is whiskey 4. You can find a map of the sections if you really want. It's not required to use them, it just lets people know that you're not from there but you're operating from there

I’m doing it because I have a separate log for up here. I probably won’t use it all the time but I like separating my contacts out by location and using /W1 is completely acceptable. The band had horrible QSB, you could hear someone for a minute and then completely loose them. That’s what I meant by wonky.

@@COASTALWAVESWIRES I was thinking the same thing truckinguy92 mentioned, but I can understand using the /W1 designation if you are using a separate log for that area. Make sure you add that /W1 as an additional callsign on your POTA account. Hopefully the park to park contacts included the /W1 when they logged you. A good reminder for folks to log what they hear.

That indicates that he's operating from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Vermont.

@@Sabre2165 New ham here...are we supposed to use a different call sign for different areas within the US? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere other than for outside the US.

@@dadthejedi There is no legal requirement to do this within the US. It used to be that, if you moved to a different region of the US, you had to have a new call sign to identify where you live. That rule is gone, but many operators add a location code to indicate where they're actually operating from if other than where they live. For example, if you have callsign W1W and you're operating while on vacation in Hawaii, you might call yourself KH6/W1W or you might say "W1W stroke KH6." This quickly lets others know that they're making a contact with someone in Hawaii.

Correct, I only do it because I’m logging it that way in QRZ so I can keep a correct record of my contacts while I’m here. Thanks for explaining. 73, Walt

Walt logs from the video afterwards.
