It was good to be part of a competitive major CW contest multi op. effort from W6 and at least win the division.

Just had some fun in this one, chasing phone DXCC.

Finished my phone DXCC to complete CW/Digital/Phone! That’s 100 countries confirmed for each mode in Log of the World. All but 15 or so phone contacts were done on my backyard fan dipole. Looking forward to putting the trident award plaque up my shack!

Good DX on 30m tonight. CW QSOs with French and Australian stations F5NTV and VK2BJ back to back!

A bagel breakfast sandwich should have the eggs scrambled. Flat eggs not the business.

Took the day off work, did some POTA. My antenna mast telescoped and I didn’t notice till I was mid QSO with a station in England lol. Rare that I work England in the late morning from a park from California, let alone with my antenna laying on the ground!

The DXing to Europe continues today, conditions are just excellent. Scotland was loud! Contacts in green were remote as a guest to a friend’s laserbeam of a station, K6LRG

@clublog.org I am seeing some issue when I try to confirm with JT1BV, maybe this is specific to their QSL?

mfw I see a fun contest going on but I can't give it a full effort

It was a good weekend for DXing on the radio from home, even the US contacts are mostly Florida from their QSO party. 2300 mi (CA to FL) is nothing to sneeze at. That would have another flag in the log if somewhere else in the world.

“New guy” lumber for the shack

Number one world M/M with the team at N6RO!

the best dinosaur is clearly Iguanodon, because of all the dinosaurs it most resembled a middle-aged Sicilian-American dock-worker with a switchblade

Worked Spain (special Titanic memorial event), Sweden and Russia tonight CW, the former two on 40m! Big DX for a low dipole. FT8 had an excellent opening into Georgia and Ukraine on 20m as well. West Coast USA gets brief windows to work these parts of the world vs East Coast.

mfw a distant station comes back to my incessant beeping

Haven’t done POTA in a little while due to illness and contesting, felt great to be back at John Muir national historic site today. Nice pileups and rate on 20m then good DX into New Zealand and Japan!

A bit of SSB fun for a change, the Q’s under my own call to round out DXCC phone, around family biz and a shift with the multi-multi at NR60

Optimizing the 40/20 fan dipole at home

Good #ParksOnTheAir DX in bad conditions today. 100W netted contacts in South Korea, Japan, Australia, and Alaska with a solar storm doing its thing from US-3455

Excited to see this result! First major international Morse code contest less than a year after starting to self study. Not sure how many chances I’ll get to win NA for a major contest overlay on my backyard wire antennas from the W6 so I will take it hah.

CW POTA with green hills, sunshine and clean air? I’m in. #MorseCode #ParksOnTheAir #AmateurRadio

W6 SOTA activators meet up last week. Several mountain goats and a seven summits finisher! Then there’s me, eating any leftover pizza!

M/M @ N6RO for ARRL DX CW

Lenny, Gus and now Charlie?? My cup runneth over!

#SOTA activation today of Sollube EA2/BI-033. Strongs winds, but at least no rain! 1st day in 2 weeks! VHF-SSB and 20m CW (with poor prop, but +-40 Qs) Used my new 4el 145 yagi with good results (a bit heavier than expected 😅) #hamradio

A good rainy day POTA. 100W pushed my beeps over the North Pole to England and France + to the East Coast #ParksOnTheAir #AmateurRadio

First summit on the air this year!

Put in some work this weekend at contest station N6RO to add in-band 15 m capability. Four vertical dipoles tuned for 15 m band, one is active and the other are reflectors. 850 feet of LMR600 was suspended over the working vineyard to service this new antenna array.

if i have to sell my Swarovski Shrek because of AI i will be furious

Back at #ParksOnTheAir after a month away with contesting and family time. I wrapped up UTC midnight on Monday, minutes before a solar flare hit! Conditions were excellent. #hamradio #amateurradio #morsecode

Grateful to have this guitar back to make questionable noises on

The Sharks have some juice these days and I’m excited to see em back in it

GOALIE FIGHT!!!!

Throwback to my first SOTA. Holding a microphone! Any beeps were purely incidental.

100% CW kilo award in the bag! That’s 1000 Morse Code contacts at this California state park for #ParksOnTheAir. Excellent DX again today, trying to make the most of 10 and 15 being open and red hot while I can. #AmateurRadio

Happy New Year from US-3455 for #ParksOnTheAir 90W CW reached ops in Chile, Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, Dominican Republic, Alaska. 10 and 15m bands were hot with DX while 20m brought the rate to finish with 100 contacts.

I’m excited to be nominated to join CWops! I am member #3855. Grateful to Chris N6WM, Gary NA6O, Jim WB0RLJ, Tim N5OHY and David WD6T for helping me achieve this goal. Basic QSOs at 25 WPM seemed impossible when I first started last Dec but time on the air and practicing daily make it possible.

Bird Hunted To Near Extinction Due To Infuriating 'Fuck You' Call

Another #ParksOnTheAir CW outing with SSB-like rates. 107 Q’s, constant pileups, just a great time. Winter operating from W6 is great. Lots of ops inside for winter at their rigs. #amateurRadio #hamRadio #morseCode
