Re: SOTA companion welcome
Hi Bernd, You're right -- self-spotting could have really helped. From what I read there should have been cell service up there. But it proved too unreliable. On my first CQ, my phone dinged right

Hi Al, QSB was quite pronounced. But here's my RBN chart: I was spotted 67 times with reports ranging from 3-32dB. Go figure. 73, Mike KK7ER

Re: SOTA companion welcome
Nice pictures, I am surprised the snow is already gone..... next time publish your anticipated frequencies and approximate time, that would help me to find you, or at least try to listen (while at

Re: SOTA companion welcome
Mike, the conditions on the HF bands (20M and up) have been awful lately.? I was thinking about calling a station in the Faroe Islands on 20 CW but he's not moving the meter, so I'm not going to try

The definitive answer (Grouse Vista trailhead): Here's the view from the summit: The activation was a strange one for me. I usually make one or two contacts on 2 meters and several on 20 meters. Today

Re: SOTA companion welcome
Hi Bernd, Well, I was thinking that given 2000 feet elevation gain over 3 miles, folks could decide for themselves what "somewhat strenuous" means.? : ) For me, it means lots of huffing and puffing

Re: SOTA companion welcome
"somewhat strenuous" is a very subjective indication of the level of difficulty :-) Where do you park? Not that I will be able to join you (since I still work), but have fun in the snow. Bernd - KB7AK

Yaesu FTM-150ASP for trade or sale
Do you have a Yaesu C4FM digital dual band mobile but don't use the digital features? How about trading for a 3 month old FTM-150ASP? It is as it came from the box except for power poles on the supply

Re: The closest POTA park I never knew about
From my POTA inquiry; Hi Dave, yes, the inundation area (grey) qualifies for activation locations as long as you are on public land. You can be in a local park and use US-3424 . hope this helps, opens

Re: The closest POTA park I never knew about
That isn't the entire trail, just one point. They do the same with parks and national forests, but anywhere insude the border works.?Notice on the information to the left of the map, it shows it in

Re: The closest POTA park I never knew about
Here is the map from the National Park Service (zoomed in) of the Ice Age Floods Trail. The trail is actually an automobile trail. According to POTA rules for trails, you must be set up within 100

Re: The closest POTA park I never knew about
Wait, so I can POTA without leaving home? Too easy, not very adventurous, but I'm in! ?

Re: The closest POTA park I never knew about
Upon closer examination it is not clear to me what the park boundary is. The gray area on the map is showing the glacial flood plain. That's why the high points like the Prune Hill area are not part
