I am still amazed at what signals we get from a portable antenna! It only took me 50:minutes to set up from when I arrived until my first QSO. When I heard a CQ on ten from Namibia. I had to respond. I mere 7,462 miles away. I decided to call CQ on ten and picked up an aeronautical mobile over Raleigh. The father was the pilot and son co-pilot. Both hams. I had to ask questions. I am subject to change my POTA contacts to a QSO. In addition to the aeronautical mobile I made a few other videos for my website. Check out my website at n4mqu dot com later for the videos. After the activation I took the bike out. I am trying to learn how to ride and prove I am not getting old. I haven’t owned a bicycle since I got my drivers license and only been on a bicycle when I go visit the radio telescope facility in Green Bank WV where they only allow diesel automobiles and bicycles. I had a nice ride. Thanks for the hunters and p2p. If you ever want to activate a park around my neighborhood look me up. We are close to the South Carolina line off of US 1!
