While driving Mama around earlier this afternoon, I heard K4YY, Mike, Aeronautical Mobile on 146.520 and had a QSO with him while he was flying north along the GA/SC coast. Always fun to make an aeronautical mobile contact! #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

With everything going on lately, I completely forgot I ordered this; it came in the mail today. Not all of my followers may be old enough to remember.

No way I can hit a "like" button on this, but it needs to be shared. Jamaica and Haiti are going to need help. A lot of it.
This looks really bad for #Jamaica and #Haiti. The devastation could be worse because the three big donor nations (US, UK, and EU) have dismantled a lot of their international aid mechanisms. Details on the blog ... enkiops.org/2025/10/25/m...

If you're going to be active in the CQWW contest this weekend, avoid these frequencies. TS Melissa is forecast to become a major hurricane with life threatening/catastrophic conditions. Be considerate and give emergency/storm related comms priority!

I needed to renew my Annual State Historic Site Pass, so I went to Hofwyl-Broadfield State Historic Site (US-3719) in Brunswick, GA this afternoon and did a #POTA activation while I was there. Not a bad day on the radio. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #ExploreGeorgia #History

113th Wing/121st FS F-16Cs are at the Savannah CRTC/ADC. Earlier, I caught two depart as BRAVE 11 flight to the north. They seem to be using 253.200 at the AFC for Ops and I think they were on 324.000 for air-to-air. These two are 86-0356 & 87-0314.

The portable HF station worked pretty good! Over an hour this afternoon after work, I worked stations in AL, KS, MD, NJ, NY, TN, TX, WI, Nova Scotia, and Hungary using a Yaesu-FT-891 at 50W out of the back of the car with the Chelegance MC-750 antenna.

The portable HF station packed neatly in the back of the car again, this time with coax (which I forgot to bring this week). Hoping to put it on the air Monday after work, possibly from Jekyll Island
