Re: MOBILE/PORTABLE ANTENNA EXPO
Ronnie,
Excellent!? I have found it very entertaining to watch a CW operator!? I'm sure others would love to watch a CW operator as well!? You may just be the star of the show!??
The Parks On The Air rules for activating a park are a minimum of 10 contacts for a successful activation.? I recommend grabbing a few more QSO's just to make sure I have the minimum for a successful activation (12-15 QSO's).??

Re: MOBILE/PORTABLE ANTENNA EXPO
Matt,
Wonderful!? Yes any of the local 4x4 clubs or backcountry folks could benefit from viewing mobile set-ups!? I am even thinking of bringing the RZR to show a mobile side by side set up as well.??

Re: Hyalite Peak Activation - 8/11/24
I tried to make contact but was too late or my Yagi did not hit the right spot. I will keep trying during your future exploits! KA7ROL Carol
I don't?believe I quite made contact, tried. You are a hiking animal.

Thank you to everyone who was listening in to my activation yesterday. The wind was blowing pretty hard on the summit, which wreaked havoc on my mic. Also, it looks like it's time to upgrade my antenna since my Nagoya one didn't get out as well as I had hoped.
?
Does anyone have suggestions for better antennas and/or wind protection for a HT? It needs to be small enough to fit in my running vest.

Couple photos from the day are attached, I brought my brother along who happened to be in town.?

Stats from the day:?
- Total distance: 16.65 miles

Re: Hyalite Peak Activation - 8/11/24
Great pics, Spencer! As far as HT antennas are concerned, I use an ALS-9 antenna with my Anytone UV-whatever and it works great. Collapses down to about a foot, and extends to around 3 feet fully extended.Uses an SMA connector.?
As far as wind noise is concerned, do you use a Mic with your HT? I use one on all my HT's that I use on a regular basis (a couple of Anytone 878UV's, a Yaesu VX8, and an Icom-something I inherited from my Father-in-Law after he passed away). Using a Mic makes it much easier to mitigate wind noise.
Anyway, I'm glad you had good weather and a good climb. I climbed Hyalite Peak around 25 years ago. Today?I'm happy to make it to Grotto Falls. :}

Re: Hyalite Peak Activation - 8/11/24
Spencer,
I was in the same boat as Mickey, I could hear others mentioning that they made contact with you but couldn't hear your call.?
Re: recommendations for a HT antenna, I have a Nagoya 771 that is OK, but prefer the Signal Stick dual band with the BNC connector so I can easily swap out/disconnect for storage (SMA connectors can be a bit fragile):
Two bonus points (at least for me): Buying a Signal Stick antenna supports to get new hams on the air/up their license and the antenna is great for mobile scanners in the 150-512 Mhz range like the Bearcat 125at that I've got :)
