My ham radio journey continues to be incredibly rewarding. The variety of emotions I feel as I venture into new portions of this hobby is simply unrivaled. Why is CW the best mode? Because no other mode pairs so exquisitely with fear, excitement and adrenaline!
I have to give a very special shoutout to Max NG7M for allowing me to tour (and film) his QTH antenna and shack setup. Part of me felt like my QTH station is the $.25 Shasta soda I grew up on and max just poured me my first ever glass of authentic Coca-Cola. I don’t want to go back to Shasta!!!
When max asked if I wanted to call CQ with a kilowatt on 10meters I felt really nervous but of course had to take him up on the offer. Once the call signs started coming in muscle memory kicked in and I entered POTA-mode except less friendly (I only sent a few FBs) - and more anxious to copy the next unknown prefix. :)
Did I have the time of my life? Yes.
Have I been researching my city’s ordinances to identify how big of a tower I can get? Yes.
Is my wife going to kill me? Also yes.
Thanks, Jon K7CO for introducing me to your cool friends!
