I wish I had a wife that liked to do ham radio! You are very lucky.

“I like to POTA POTA”! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

@williamarquett5948 4 месяца назад

It looks to me that the first thing one needs to do POTA is a very thick wallet. Which will quickly flatten out. If you want to make a small fortune, start out with a large one!

@airheadzradioadventures 4 месяца назад

Doesn’t need to be. A license, a small QRP rig, a battery, and some wire are all you really need.

Great video, love you guys. I might consider a small modification to the beach wagon, with PVC pipe attached to the back of the wagon and leaving an ice chest in the wagon for weight, would allow you to drop a antenna mast in the PVC pipe for support. No hammering or throwing lines in trees. I have a similar setup using a 33' fiberglass kite pole. Keep up the great videos

@airheadzradioadventures 10 месяцев назад

Now that’s a fantastic idea!! Thanks Chuck!

@kapapatence6423 5 месяцев назад

Hey Chuck...I am a newbie and look forward to beginning POTA...the cart idea you have is superb.. I have a metal cart (Gorilla cart) that is about the size they show here. I will look at a similar setup. I presume the metal would not interfere with radio? Thanks.

New radio - IC-7300 nice! You'll enjoy that. Let me know if you're interested in a couple of my shirts, I can send them out to you to wear on activations

@airheadzradioadventures 9 месяцев назад

Heck yeah! Shoot me an email and I’ll give the address. Airheadzradioadventures@gmail.com

Really enjoy your videos. As a retired aviator, ham, and Costco share owner, you two add great value to the amateur radio community and provide a small return to my investment!

Always enjoy your videos. Your fun is contagious. I enjoy POTA and only do portable activations so I'm starting to do more multi-day camping and POTA activations.

@airheadzradioadventures 9 месяцев назад

My next step is to get her into camping! Glad you enjoy!

My wife and I POTA together and love your videos.

@airheadzradioadventures 10 месяцев назад

That is so wonderful to hear! It really is a great bonding experience 💕

@KS0JD 10 месяцев назад

Good instructions. Plastic seal for the pluck foam on the harbor freight works well to make it a little more permanent. There are videos about it. Keep them coming 73

@airheadzradioadventures 10 месяцев назад

Is that like a plastic dip? Will look into it, thanks!

@thomasmanson1119 6 месяцев назад

I found it on line as a Kelty folding loveseat sold at Cabela’s for about $130. 73 Tom KC3QAC

@christianvargas2315 2 месяца назад

I’d checkout the kelty loveseat low at REI to get a feel for it in person. I think it’s great. Like that it’s low close to the fire pit . Real relaxing like . But if your knees don’t like low seating the regular love seat is nice too just a bit bigger of a carry .

@BernieWimmers 10 месяцев назад

What a fun video! XYL and I have the same wagon from Costco. And um, Katie I heard your low snicker at 12:20. Something about pointing up in the air 🙂. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Love the ideas, keep them coming. Bernie K4JDF

Good thinking!

@seancook4317 6 месяцев назад

also i just moved from florida , to ohio, and it sucked, one of the weird things i found about living in central florida was it would rain every day at 4-ish pm, but weirder than that it would fake you out all the time, cuz they have weird clouds in florida, they look like they are gonna rain all the time, but they NEVER do, they just shoot lightning all over the place for 2 hours and then they go away, lol every night was like that in summer i think

@user-ps2kh8hm1m 4 месяца назад

What park are you guys in?

@airheadzradioadventures 4 месяца назад

@user-ps2kh8hm1m That was San Marco de Appalachee in St. Marks, FL

@seancook4317 6 месяцев назад

i really wish i had been born a regular type human being and not whatever i ended up being, i wish i would have made friends like this, i think my life would have been better, now i sit in my tiny room with my dumb baofeng that cant pick up anything out here in the deep parts of ohio. cool video, it looks fun.

Be as amazing as you wanna be. It might take a bigger antenna :-)
