My SOTA Paddles

Описание: This video is a little longer than usual because it contains footage of two different Summits on the Air activations.

During the first activation on Mount Peeley (W7A/GI-010) I talk about two CW paddles that I use for SOTA, and I try out a new one too. I also work VHF and UHF FM, and Single Side-band (SSB) on this summit.

The second activation was on Whitetail Peak (W7A/GI-038). I was on the summit of that peak just after 2300 UTC and so I stayed on summit for the crossover into a new day. I wasn’t eligible to earn more points as an activator, but chasers who work me on both sides of 0000 UTC got double points. Gotta keep the chasers happy! I had several takers on 14MHz for the crossover as well as a few on 2 meters and 23 centimeters FM.
