This is the bag with the Chameleon portable antenna for the short wave communications. The antenna is the CHA BV, a basic vertical antenna. The weight of this bag if 5,3 Kg. Pretty much for a portable antenna.

The illustration is a world map with pins placed in it to mark the contacts made over ham radio.
Activated a new #POTA to mark #FridayThe13th. I used my #FT-891 at 50w with a mag mount whip and I made it all the way to the Netherlands!! Started off slow with no internet to spot me but once one person did, the rarely visited park got some big pileups. Good times.
Activation in VHF from the Castle. I love this radio so much.

there is a new outdoor activity program in OK, OM SP, DL and OE: Towers On The Air. So I signed up and activated my first tower in Berlin: Wolkenhain at Kienbergpark; at the same time POTA Park Kienbergpark and GMA Kienberg. HC12S #amateurradio #pota #tota #gma
I finally got out and did a #POTA activation using only my QMX. Most of this was on a 20m EFHW, and then I did a few QSOs on a random wire through a tuner.
It didn't start out well. I couldn't figure out why no one was responding to me. I finally […]

Bullied myself down to a local wildlife reserve by the sea yesterday with an HF mobile rig and a 14mHz vertical for the car roof. One mother of all POTA pileups later, I was so glad I’d taken the trouble. Delighted so many ops called in. #pota #hamradio #amateurradio #fun

It’s designed to improve RF efficiency by providing a more effective counterpoise — especially useful for POTA, SOTA, and Field Day setups in difficult terrain.

My most efficient operation is still done during #POTA activations. Far away from my downtown noise floor.
Have you investigated a rain gutter antenna to sidestep the HOA restrictions?
With the UK weather warming up, its a great time to plan some outdoor radio adventures.
Our latest website article covers POTA & SOTA, with tips for getting started and the Icom equipment best suited to them.

@japan #radioamateurs is there any particular reason why a lot of POTA activations appear to happen late in your day? Genuinely curious. #pota
Beautiful day today, and I went out for a social #POTA activation this afternoon. A new ham with a license only a few days old joined me to learn about POTA. I was going to do SSB instead of CW as a result, but turns out they are more interested in CW and specifically wanted to see a CW […]
New activation from Passo del Cirone Tuscany Italy with my ICOM IC-705.

Today I opened my personal POTA season at DE-0171 Volkspark Friedrichshain - a big recreational park in my neighborhood. One of the best things in POTA are the random encounters. Today I met the artist Michael Kutzner (www.michaelkutzner.com) who draws with GPS in the Volkspark. He has some cool […]

I really got into ham radio as a way to distract myself from current events. It's been fun. Doing some #pota hunting from my back patio today.
During my last #hamradio summit activations I missed points due to remembering some rules incorrectly. To prevent this, I have created a small cheat sheet for my favorite #Amateurfunk activities #SOTA, #GMA, #SBW and #POTA.
I'll be on a trip with my wife to a known spa area in germany this weekend. Turns out there is a park listed on the #pota website nearby. I hope I can do an activation while my love is enjoing the thermal water. To the #Ham operators out there: Listen on the 10m band for a newbie📡
A laptop displaying software sits in the foreground, next to a portable device, with a person's feet resting on the edge of a vehicle. In the background, a rural landscape features a winding road and sparse trees under a clear sky.
A blue SUV parked in an empty lot during sunset. The sky features shades of orange, pink, and purple, with silhouetted trees in the background.
Yesterday I was able to do a QRP POTA activation at US-4160, a new park for me. I made 28 FT8/FT4 contacts, well 27 because one was a dupe. I used the QDX but need to get the QMX+ out in the field next. I am excited that one of the contacts was from Gibraltar! #qrp #qrplabs #pota #HamRadio
