Thomas (K4SWL)'s video: Real-time CW POTA activation of Elk Knob State Park with the Icom IC-705 transceiver

This is another real-time, no edits video of a Parks On The Air activation. Think of this as "Slow TV Ham Radio"--sitting down with me during a real POTA activation. In this video, I speak about what I look for in a good park site, the equipment I use in this activation, and then we start calling CQ. Although I never intended to do this, I was so busy answering stations I allowed the video to keep rolling, so it actually concludes when I finish the activation and prepare to pack up. My hope is that videos like this will help new park activators. Equipment used: - Icom IC-705 - Elecraft T1 - Bioenno 6 aH LiFePo battery - Ham Radio Workbench DC distribution panel - CHA Emcomm III Portable antenna You'll notice I have no ads in my videos.
