I finally got the chance to work 6 meters during the day, my first 3 #FT8 QSOs was in the evening when the band was fading, now that I'm not at work, this morning around 11 is when I was finally being picked up on #RBN and I called #CQ and WB0JXR in SD answered me and I had my first #CW #QSO. I run HRD in Linux btw :)

What a pleasant surprise on 30 meters during this morning's #amateurradio #hamradio #qrp #parksontheair #pota #morsecode #cw activation. I was able to catch a BIG fish from down under #vk4fw. #solarcycle25 is not done yet. π

The Chameleon EFHW got delayed until Tuesday so I didn't record this trip, I went out early and put up a PackTenna random wire and tuned 30 meters to call @N4JAW but he had just gone QRT, but I worked 13 others. I was surprised how great 30 meters was early in the morning. Lots of fog as well. #qrp #cw #cwmorse #hamradio #wwff #pota

I tried some new Amish flour from Big Creek Country Store, it turned out awesome with this 10% rye and caraway seed loaf this morning.

I ordered this Chameleon Antenna a bit ago, I can't wait to test it out in the field. I've really grown to love the EFHW in recent activations. #POTA #WWFF #fieldradio #cw #morsecode #hamradio #AmateurRadio
