Extreme "Radio-Active"
This has been a really interesting day on the radio ...
Instead of chasing DX ... I decided I would point my yagi out west
and hang out on the 20 meter qrp frequencies ( CW & SSB )
and listen for the SOTA ops.
These are the guys that operate portable
from various mountain summits
and are recognized by the official
Summits On The Air group.
I worked several interesting portable stations today ...
including
Raf / ON5RZ
who started out peddling in San Francisco
on his Bicycle ....
142 days through USA & Canada. (with a tent & Yaesu 817 ;-)
April 27th. till September 13th. : K/ON5RZ/p and VE/ON5RZ/p
April 27th. till September 13th. : K/ON5RZ/p and VE/ON5RZ/p
When I worked Raf ...
He was taking a break in Quebec Canada
He was using a Yaesu FT-817 at 5 watts with a small vertical
and
His signal was peaking 59 !!
To follow Raf on his journey
