Today was the 3rd day of the 12 Days of Park-Mas. Operated till my fingers where about to fall off. (No glove due to the touch screen logging on my phone.) Then warmed up a little and played in the snow.

If you had a QSO with me yesterday during my POTA activation of US-9317 in the snow then checkout this video to hear yourself. youtu.be/XLXRGWVOPEc #HamRadio

Don't forget to wear POTA orange. Here is a good example why: youtu.be/yezliT__xvk #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #POTA

K5S SSB 14.303 Mhz Special event station for the Amateur Radio Software Award

Special event station K5S on 20m FT8 for the Amateur Radio Software Award. Not sure if it's the propagation or the local noise level, but I didnt hear much on SSB. Noise level is at S8, so I'm trying digital first.

We got K5S reserved for the X-mas week. I'll try to get K5S on the air between Dec. 24 and Dec. 30 as time and celebrations allow from California for the Amateur Radio Software Award. I'll notify you here when I'm on the air. 73 and see you on the air. #ARSA #HamRadio

The Iowa QSO Party was a success. I'm just missing 6 states for WAS and 4 provinces for Canada. Amazing considering no prep. Had to put up the mast Friday evening and find some wires and rope this morning for the antennas. #HamRadio #IAQP

The Iowa QSO Party is this Saturday, September 21, 2024 from 9am - 9pm US Central Time. http://www.w0yl.com/... #HamRadio #IAQP
