My first POTA activation

[@willytee585]

Glad you enjoyed the pota activation chris , i do a few from time to time 😊👍

[@M0RSF]

Thanks Bill, this is in the zone of the ROC Bunker that I activated not long ago. I'm going to activate the Bunker again soon. It's also a HEMA but not allowed to activate from a vehicle for that. Speak soon mate. 73

Thanks for sharing your activation Chris using an AmPro whip.
I was initially skeptical whether a 40m one would work well enough but I am pleasantly surprised with the results.
I have used it successfully on many UKBOTA activations together with a Mag Mount.
When space allows, I prefer to use an OCFD using my drive-on plate which yields of course much better results.
73, Robert
PS. Nice set of wheels! 😎

Hello Robert. My favourite portable antenna is the linked dipole. I bought a couple of Ampro whips to use when Natalie and I go away in the Campervan. Although they are a compromise it's safer that having any wires strung out if there are people wandering around the camp sites. I'm looking forward to trying the 40m one. I might even buy one for 17m to use when the bands are full of contest stations. Hopefully speak soon. 73, Chris M0RSF

Thanks for watching. I'm aiming to activate some more POTA but with a much better antenna.

Congratulations on your first Parks on the Air activation! I am yet to attempt one. 73 Jon, VU2JO

[@M0RSF]

Thanks for watching Jon. I was using a compromise antenna for this activation. I've no doubt that I will get better results using my Linked Dipole antenna. Go for it and hope to work you sometime, maybe even Park to Park. 73 Chris M0RSF

@@M0RSF Thank you. 73

[@neilwhitaker]

Great video mate.73

[@M0RSF]

Cheers mate. I need to get my interest in radio back. Speak soon. 73

[@2e0hpi]

Well done Chris m8

[@M0RSF]

Thanks Carl. I will activate this again but with a better antenna. Probably my Linked Dipole. It qualifies for POTA, HEMA & BOTA. Hope all is well mate. 73

Nice Activation Chris 73 🙂👍

[@M0RSF]

Thanks. It was a last minute decision and as I had the afternoon free I decided to go do a POTA activation. It was good to be out.

[@martinsalt1839]

Well done Chris. Did you have the Ampro mounted on a Magmount on your vehicle, or did you ground mount it ? Thanks 73

[@M0RSF]

I had the Ampro on a mag-mount on the roof and I know that this is not ideal. I have a 40m Ampro but I'm not expecting that to work very well at all.

[@willytee585]

I've worked the world on 40m SSB with the ampro 40 Chris same as you on the triple mag mount 😊​@@M0RSF

Well done Chris, congrats for your 1st activation.

[@M0RSF]

Thanks Geoff. There are quite a few new locations for various award schemes not far from where I live to activate. To be honest I lost interest in radio for a while but I definitely getting back into it. 73 Chris M0RSF
