Thomas (K4SWL)'s video: Impromptu QRP POTA Activation with the Elecraft KX2 Transceiver and AX1 Antenna

The Elecraft AX1 is the most compact, portable antenna I've ever used. When stored for travel, it can easily fit in a small pouch or pocket. In this real-time, real-life, unedited video, you'll accompany me on a truly impromptu activation of the Blue Ridge Parkway (K-3378). I decided to attempt this activation only a few minutes beforehand. My goal was to achieve a total of 10 contacts which is required for a valid POTA activation. Since I also had my tripod, I decided to make a video as well. I hope you enjoy! 73, Thomas K4SWL If you'd like to jump to the part of the video where I start working contact, click here: https://youtu.be/7ZV2BwloI9A?t=903 Equipment: - Elecraft KX2 (with internal battery and internal ATU) - Elecraft AX1 antenna - N0SA portable paddles You'll notice I have no ads in my videos.
