Sadded not to be able to be an activator during the #parksontheair #SupportYourParksWeekend but stoked to get a Hunter Award. Thanks to all the #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA activators who braved the elements to make this happen. @potaspots

Not only have to contend with WX but now deer poachers at my home #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair site US-7956. This Nature Preserve is in the middle of #louisvilleKentucky visited by school children & families daily and weekends. Simply UNCONSCIONABLE!

THE Bi-Weekly K1USN Slow Speed Contest suggests sending no faster than 20 WPM. Also it encourages operators to adjust their speed to the person sending "CQ" . Me, I have no preferred speed. Most of the time I adjust my speed to the sender or when ask to QRS. My straight key sending has maxed out at about 22 WPM due to arthritis. I've got my BUG set at about 23 - 25 WPM. My paddle speeds varies depending on contests and receivers.

50 degree Friday but still too many icy streets for a #hamonabike #POTA #parksontheair activation. So the #AmateurRadio #HamRadio CW #MorseCode #K1USN Slow Speed Test is just as challenging. #K1USNRadioClub

It felt great to finally finally get back out after almost a month. Weather has just been brutal. One day rain, the next day 20 degree F temperatures.
