For several years my homebrew 19-foot vertical was my go-to portable antenna. Over the past two years, I’ve been using a variety of other antennas, relegating my trusty vertical to backup status under the backseat of my truck. I dusted it off recently to see how well the Elecraft KH1 would work with it. I … Continue reading "The KH1 Meets the 19-Foot Vertical"| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio
I ordered a KH1 kneeboard from Tufteln, and it arrived in the mail earlier this week. I was out of town for most of the week, so today was my first opportunity to try it out. I drove down to …| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio
Lately, I’ve had to squeeze in my ham radio opportunities whenever I can. (That seems to be a common theme for this blog these days.) This past weekend was a perfect example. While spending the weekend with family in central Pennsylvania, I got in a very short activation and still made it back in time … Continue reading "Another Short but Successful POTA Activation"| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio
I did a POTA/WWFF activation this morning and used it as an opportunity to try out a new set of paddles.

I set off this morning to activate Norristown Farm State Park (US-4363, KFF-4363) with a specific plan in mind. We’re talking about me, of course; so things don’t always go as planned. Today was a good example of that. If a specific parking space was available, I planned to use a loaded whip on my … Continue reading "Going with Plan C"| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio

Wait… It’s September already? Where did the summer go? Anyway, I observed the (unofficial) end of summer with a POTA/WWFF activation—and it was a fun one. I drove up to Norristown Farm State Park (US-4363, KFF-4363) for an early morning activation. I tend to do early activations to avoid the crowds. There was another reason … Continue reading "End of Summer Activation"| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio
On Wednesday, August 7th, I set out to do some antenna experimentation. So, why not get in a POTA/WWFF activation at the same time? To kill those two birds with one stone, I drove down to Ridley Cr…| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio
I’m at the stage in my life when I should be “thinning the herd” when it comes to radios. So, what do I do? Instead of getting rid of some stuff, I fire off an order to Elecraft for a KH1 Edgewood …| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio
I made a quick trip over to nearby Valley Forge National Historical Park (US-0761, KFF-0761) this morning. It almost didn’t happen, but it turned out to be a fun morning. Located a few miles from m…| WB3GCK QRP Amateur Radio
