Epic Simple POTA Activation in 6 Minutes! My very last activation, of 2024, that is. US-4571 Trail
Hey, what's happening TH-cam?
I wanted to do a very simple, quick POTA activation to show how easy you can get going in Parks on the Air, POTA. Today, I used the Yaesu FT-891, 12 amp hour battery and a Mag Mount with a HAM Stick for 20 meters.

Hey, what's happening TH-cam? I did a very short activation on Saturday, December 7th, 2024. Only on air for 26 minutes and made 53 QSOs. About 2 a minute. I had a lot to do with the holidays coming up so they are going to be short until the new year. 73 de W6OBB Thanks for watching!

Hey, what's happening TH-cam? I apologize in advance for the quality in this video, not that my videos are high quality, but the audio in this on is terrible. That's why it's so short. I placed a mic way to close to the speaker on the radio and for half the activation, I had no audio at all. I just put a few QSOs in there because the static is ear torcher. LOL! Thanks for watching!

Hey, what's happening TH-cam? Today, we went to Morro Strand State Beach Day User area. My usual picnic tables were in use, so I setup with an ocean view.
