I had a great time at the W4V #summitsontheair workshop, followed by a fun activation of Hogback. It’s only a short walk from the road so I brought my big iron Elecraft K3 and furniture. The high bands were hopping!

kicking off the W2 SOTA campout in the Adirondacks with perfect weather

Just updated the frequency synthesizer in ye olde Elecraft K3 to the KSYN3A. Hoping it will help pull out some weak CW sigs

off work today and a chance to play POTA. K3 communicating with ye olde Panasonic CF-54 Toughbook native RS-232 serial port 🦕

biked to Warren Woods State Park for a POTA activation - tough conditions but managed 11 contacts in just over an hour

a short hike for a #summitsontheair peak today meant I brought my new-to-me K3 for the TransAtlantic S2S event #hamradio

I’ve restarted my build of the Norcal 40A CW transceiver for 40 meters. A while ago I ordered PCBs based on a Gerber file that was shared my a builder group. Using lots of old out-of-production parts that I sourced earlier (check out the air variable trimmer in the bottom right). #amateurradio

it was challenging, but I managed to finish the solder smoke challenge direct conversion receiver
