Taking radios on adventures sure does bring on the curse of the failing coax... Any marginally crimped coax WILL FAIL. Soldered connectors, maybe... High heat combined with very cold wet conditions = stress. #hamradio

Best video ever, contact made via a satellite (SO-50) with @wd9ewk@mastodon.radio when I was on a remote island doing a POTA activation! (US-0014) -- Channel Islands National Park - Santa Rosa Island. Also IOTA NA-144. #hamradio #POTA #IOTA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJcV34vMB0&t=251s

Hoping to active CM93/CM94 both on satellite and (maybe) HF next week. IOTA NA-144. POTA US-00014. #hamradio #POTA #IOTA #satellite

LOL answered someone on our local repeater, and a bunch of new hams suddenly showed up and started chatting among themselves, and forgot I was there (fine with me). Apparently a lot of them listening, but none talk until they hear someone else talking. Second day in a row. #hamradio

Now that I no longer get any magazines from the ARRL, wondering if it makes sense to renew my membership. I guess they lobby for radio spectrum? Dunno. #arrl #hamradio

Ah, I see N6DNM is on CM93/CM94 (at the spot on Santa Rosa Island near the airfield) right now. Satellite contacts...#hamradio #amsat #satellite
