A fun and successful #pota activation at US-1021. 63 FT8 contacts, 60 unique. My Coffee And Ham Radio Ares antenna functioned wonderfully (first time using it) with the X6200. #hamradio #amateurradio

Forgot to mention that I activated US-0979 over the weekend. 32 FT8 contacts on 20m in 2 hours from coast to coast. #xiegu X6200 running at 8w using #elecraft AX3 antenna. #hamradio #amateurradio #pota

PSA for #hamradio operators.

POTA operator appears to have been killed this morning when his antenna hit a power line. SAFETY FIRST folks. #pota

Finished a successful #pota activation shortly before July 1 became July 2. Gonna hang around and keep calling CQ on FT8 to try to get another successful one for the 2nd. #hamradio #amateurradio

Maybe an unpopular opinion… Enterprise holds its own against every other Star Trek series.
