I’ve added #StarLink to my #POTA kit for portable #amateurradio #hamradio operations

What follows may read or sound counter intuitive but hear me out. I got a StarLink Mini to take with me for POTA activations....

I had another fun POTA activation at US-1933, Alum Creek State Park, this beautiful autumn morning. It started out cool and cloudy. The sun came out and the wind picked up later. Thank you hunters and P2P activators! #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #ohio #alumcreekstatepark #NI8W

Mahlzeit, Ihr Draussenfunker und die, die es werden wollen🖖

Who knew.... there were THIS many "Planet of the Apes" tie-in paperback novelizations. It's a mad house! A MAD HOUSE!! #PlanetOfTheApes #POTA #paperbacks #reading #fun #cool #70s #tv #moves #films #books #scary

Activated POTA US-1933, Alum Creek State Park. I was chased away by a very wet and noisy thunderstorm. Still managed to complete a valid activation. #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #alumcreekstatepark #ohio #NI8W

Today we activated next to a light house at US-5655, Lake Minatare in Nebraska. Nebraska is the only triple land locked state in the US, yet it has a light house! We also activated US-9371 Wild Cat Hills and US-3373 Chimney Rock. Beautiful day for #pota. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

Activated POTA US-1933, Alum Creek State Park, again this morning. It was overcast and cool, a nice day to be at the park. Thank you, as usual, to the hunters. 72, de NI8W #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #alumcreekstatepark #ohio #NI8W

Activated POTA US-1973, Madison Lake State Park this sunny afternoon. While I was there, I met Justin (N8JMS) who "jumped me into" the Brass Knuckle Gang (#686) by completing a contact with me on 2m CW. 😎 #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #ni8w #bkg

INB4 the CME is forecast to hit tomorrow and give us a G1 or G2 storm. 5 Watts CW #POTA

I've learned that I have a 2-fer I didn't know about easily accessible by boat.

There's a lot of great boundary data imported […]

After my warthog adventure of yesterday, today I decide to activate my closest POTA site, US-1933, Alum Creek State Park. I set up near the dog park and watched the dogs playing in the water. #hamradio #amateurradio #pota #alumcreekstatepark #ohio

From a Dublin park to Japan! 🇮🇪📻🇯🇵

Ana (EI5IXB) and Jeffrey (EI7IRB) took TOG’s club callsign EI0TOG to Eamonn Ceannt Park (IE-0291) this evening.

With Ana on the mic, they contacted JH5KAC in Japan, our club’s furthest contact ever! 🎉

The magic of radio! #POTA #AmateurRadio @irts.bsky.social
