Aaaand DONE. My first #POTA rove - 8 parks, 8 hours, all on foot. Total distance 10.2 miles (two of which through a marsh), 23500 steps, 162 QSOs, two blistered feet, one broken shoelace, and one well-deserved shower.

I'm amazed that under the right conditions I can use this miniscule equipment setup to communicate to the other side of the world. #AmateurRado #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair CW #MorseCode is SO AWESOME!
These ingredients produced a great #FT8 / CW #MorseCode #pota #Parksontheair meal on 40/20 meters. This activation was WELL DONE! @qrplabs #QDX #QCX #PutikeegMiniStraightkey #PutikeegKey #HamRadio
Today's ingredients for a #POTA #parksontheair #FT4 #FT8 CW #MorseCode recipe. Looks like the oven might be overheating a little. Doesn't matter. We'll finish with a yummy and tasty morning activation. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio @qrplabs #QDX #QCX @panasonic #Toughpad
It was a Gomer Pyle #POTA #parksontheair CW #MorseCode #QRPp less than 1 watt activation. "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!" In spite of horrid 40m band conditions that Mission Accomplished. Failure WAS NOT an option. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio is always AMAZING!
Mr. Phelps, I have accepted today's "Mission Possible" #QRPp #pota #parksontheair CW #MorseCode activation assignment. "Failure Is Not An Options" #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
Mother Nature is teasing us with this beautiful but a Friday severe WX threat. @Youkits #HB-1B, @Sportys #Kneeboard with #americanmorseequipment #portapaddle continue to get a workout during #AmateurRadio #hamRado #pota #parksontheair CW #morseCode activations this week.
Perfect Wx for a #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair CW #morsecode activation. 30 contacts on 40,30,20,17, 15 meters with @Youkits #HB1B into #EFHW no tuner using #CWmouse Paddle. Awesome Little Rig attached to #sportyspilot #Kneeboard

I had another #POTABBQ #POTA activation today with my Nephew. Beautiful day. #amateurradio #fieldradio #cw #QRP
One year ago today I posted this miniature Planet of the apes photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets.
I posted about my POTA activation for the #YL_POTA_Party on my blog.
Bonus! I've included some pictures too!
Next time I hope to take more pictures.

Index Labs #QRP Plus: A Proper #POTA Field Test!
https://qrper.com/2025/03/index-labs-qrp-plus-a-proper-pota-field-test/
I received my @lnrprecision #mtr3bv4 today, tested it and made one #QSO before packing up to activate a quick #pota, made 24 contacts before packing up and heading back into town. #amateurradio #fieldradio #qrp #cw video incoming.
I can't believe i forgot to mention youtube!
There are several channels where the hosts not only talk about operating, but actually do lots of operating, giving you something interesting to watch, and some good exposure to live @MorseCode.
https://www.youtube.com/@HamRadioDuo super fun husband and wife team doing CW #POTA
https://www.youtube.com/@potababe The Pota Babe talke about learning CW and does lots of actual CQ QSOs
