Tempted to do a 10-park #POTA rove now that there are 10 in walking distance of each other in Christchurch...
Or the alternative strategy is just to wait until Durlston Head becomes a 10-fer by itself. It's currently 6 overlapping references and rising.
To all of my #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair #SOTA #summitsontheair colleagues, it has been a wet spring around the world especially in the U.S.; which means ticks will be plentiful. Protect yourself when operating portable.
Tough conditions today for my Early Bird #morsecode cw #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation
Biking POTA ... This is a parks on the air on a bike. Did a quick 10 miles ride and stopped off to do a POTA.
Get a way from the nonsense, enjoy nature. Get exercise for the revolution. Get prepared, be prepared, but don't be a prepper ... lol
I enjoy explaining #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair #MorseCode and CW to people who ask what I'm doing. But trying to explain to the four-legged persuasion can be difficult.

I always get plenty of love from the animals at US-7956. The dogs know me better than their owners. Here's Pappy who've I've come to oner over the last year. Another GREAT #POTA #parksontheair CW #MorseCode activation. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
A few interesting things from my #POTA activations over my long weekend:
• Working an op who used a metal carport roof for an antenna, and seemed surprised it was working so well. 
• The multiple QRP stations I worked that were S6 or more.
• The op in Oregon who was so loud I thought they were standing next to me, running 50W into an EFHW.
All proving that ideal gear and tons of power are really not essential to having fun with #hamradio. They're nice, just not essential.
Its Spring in the U.S. and The Early Bird Morse Code POTA Activators are out. Read where you can find them here: https://hamonabike.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-morse-code-pota-early-birds.html

Well, I did, in fact, join the club today, operating CW for the first time during a #POTA activation, while I was in New Mexico at US-0460.
I logged 10 QSOs before switching to SSB, primarily because I found that I need paddles with the ability to set a much greater spring tension. I was afraid that'd be an issue with what I have, and it was.
But, I did it, and will do so again — no question about it!
I went to the beach this morning, and wore myself out riding my #bike 10 miles. I then setup my #HamRadio to my kite. There wasn’t much of a wind, so it barely got into the air, and would sometimes fall to the ground. But since I was at a state park, I was about to do a #POTA Park to Park to NM. And now I’m home, relaxing.

On a hiking tour through the Harz Nature Park I activated DE-0070, DE-0551 and DA/NI-089 yesterday. It was a great sunny day and the view was perfect. #pota #gma #amateurradio
Last #MorseCodeDay #MorseCode #QSO was a Park-to-Park CW #QSO with Ed #W6KSR 15 meters Kentucky-California. #POTA #parksontheair #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Today, went back to the same park, and activated 100% hunting P2P — and now I have W3AAX Jason, #POTA founder, in my log! 
DN9KDE Es gab heute wieder Funkbetrieb auf dem Scharpenacken (JO31nf) beim #Einsteigercontest und im Anschluss daran noch ein bisschen #POTA — und ich habe einen gottlosen Sonnenbrand
