I was using a QRP Labs QMX plus with a Sparkplug UNUN to a 20 EFHW. I was running CW and FT8 (used FT8CN on my Android phone). I usually operate ftom car, so this was my first try at something I could carry in a backpack.

I hear you! I started with a qcx plus from qrp labs which I built myself. Pretty much stayed with qrp labs since. I used a dipole in a tree with a cb swr meter. If you are ever in N. GA and want to give POTA a try, give me a shout.

Me doing Parks On The Air. It is an amateur radio activity where we go to state and federal lands and attempt to contact other radio amateurs. It demonstrates our capabilities to create connections when disasters or other disruptions limit communications. I was on the Georgia Appalachian Trail.

No “great” nation has the key to anything but war. Power has nothing to do with peace. The more men build up military power, the more they violate peace and destroy it.

Why autistic people must be at the heart of autism research
A research project led entirely by autistic people aims to change the way autism research is conducted.
“Autistic people should always be involved in research in a meaningful way and should be listened to at every stage of a project.
By doing that, researchers can avoid inadvertently doing research that is either harmful to autistic people, or which misinterprets the findings."

A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.
I love this.
