It has really been since 2019 since I’ve posted on here. So I figured I’d just give a recap of what I’ve gotten into. Maybe I’ll get into posting more often, but I’m not making any promises.
Most of my HF activity has been in a public park. I’ve been able to succeed with a loop antenna in my apartment, but nothing replaces the lack of a noise floor in a park setting. I had heard that Parks on the Air was a thing after many contacts over the years, but never looked into how to participate. I thought maybe it was some exclusive club or something along those lines.
Once I looked into it I realized it was much more low-key. Just had to register, and then post logs of when I operated in a recognized park. The net result is I’ve found myself on the air more than I ever have. It’s been fun. I got a new antenna that worked on my car, and with the aid of a Mr. Heater propane heater I had something to do in the middle of the winter even if it meant sitting in my car.
One thing I added was the operating locations list in the event you want to see where I was during a QSO and what I was running with. I need to dig through some older paper logs for a few details, but otherwise will be keeping this updated going forward.
Upcoming things:
– New car, new antenna mount.
– I got an Arrow satellite antenna, now to try it on a satellite
– Product reviews of the gear I own
– Overview of my mobile setup
– Posting here more (maybe…)
