QRP CW Parks on the Air (POTA) activation at Tuskegee National Forest (K-4451) on 1/10/24. I hope this video is helpful for CW copy practice or just for your entertainment. Feel free to drop a comment!
This time I used my Icom IC-705 with the PackTenna Random Wire antenna. One of my favorite combos! I spent the entire activation on 30 meters. After about 20 minutes of operating, I had to cut the video because I forgot to charge my camera lastnight. Oof. Sorry about that! I continued to operate for a few more minutes.
Thank you for joining me on this activation & 72!

The sound was perfect for audience CW copying, thanks Aaron!

@w4arb 9 месяцев назад

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback on audio. I have put a lot of effort into experimenting with different ways to get the audio as clear and as close to real life as possible. :)

@ke4est 9 месяцев назад

Always look forward to getting in your log Aaron. Will look for you on Friday.

@w4arb 9 месяцев назад

705 audio is so pleasant

@w4arb 9 месяцев назад

I know man, I love it. Even aside from the fact that it’s QRP, the 705 is a really nice radio to use. It sounds and operates like a big rig.

The CEO of Tuskegee. Soon I’ll be doing the same, hopefully I’ll be moving very close to a pota park and I’ll be doing the same hehe 73!

@w4arb 9 месяцев назад

Very nice!! It’s nice to live within a few minutes drive to a park. It makes it where you can activate even if you only have an hour or two available. 73 my friend!

@Paul-yq5ym 3 месяца назад

Very helpful!

TU & 73!

Aaron what time is this video started. I have been trying to catch you for a couple of weeks here near Little Rock

@w4arb 9 месяцев назад

This morning it was around 7:30 AM central time. I spent a while experimenting with a SOTA Beams Carbon 6 mast before I started recording today. Normally I am on the air around 7:00 AM Central, which days of the week can be unpredictable. It will probably be Friday morning when I get out again this week. 73 & hope to catch you on the air soon!

@dannybryant4440 9 месяцев назад

sunrise here isnt until 7:15, I will be up early friday and try to catch you. It must be lots warmer in south Al than here in central Ark.@@w4arb

@w4arb 9 месяцев назад

@dannybryant4440 Sounds good! This morning it was around 33 degrees when I was activating. I don’t mind a little cold as long as the sun is out and it’s not much below freezing.

@@w4arb I am going to investigate the fingerless gloves like I used to bicycle with in my young reckless days with the club where I was fit enough to pound out 100 miles without a sweat. Those were non-CW years for sure!
