A rare mid-day, rare #SOTA #QRP #CW #FM activation.

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

A little office #POTA hunting on a hot day. #x6100 and a wire! #amateurradio #qrp #ft8

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

@bschermd You are the first person I have seen addressing statins and "established heart disease" among the lower carb community since I had my heart attack 10 years ago at age 52. Lots of questions here. Hard to find anyone that speaks to this.

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

@N4JAW @Scott_NF5R I got 14 in the log today. Mostly 40m. I am out with a friend tomorrow doing SOTA with a friend. Come find me and K3GG!

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

@N4JAW I made it in the log!!! So good to connect after a while

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

Out the office window to Italy! 5 watts and a wire! #hamradio #qrp #xiegu #x6100

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

Just returned from a trip to WI to see family. #POTA Activations and QSO's along the route. No distinct position for me as I hopped around and traveled. #FT891, #CW, #SSB, #FT8 #amateurradio #roadtrip

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

@markkaplan20 Same for me—52, and statins for life. What is the long term effect? No answers so far. Makes my brain foggy, so opting out.

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

A little Friday morning #POTA at a couple of parks today. #ft891 #CW #amateurradio

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

What a little extra power will do. I don’t think I’ve ever used 100 watts during activation before. QRP is usually fine for me, but this WAS fun. #POTA #CW #SSB #QRP #notqrp #X6100 #FT891

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

Fresh snow for a quick Presidents Day activation before work.

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

A little visit to support 3 #POTA parks this morning. #Supportyourparks #SYP weekend #qrp #cw #FT8 #FT4. Conditions weren't stellar.

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

Maiden voyage of the QMX. #qrp #CW #pota

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

Nice little #POTA outing at sunrise at Nockamixon SP. #CW #QRP #amateurradio #SW3B #X6100

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

Fun times chasing 160m this weekend. #CW #hamradio. Never had this much success on the low band before. #ft891

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

A couple of late morning activations. #qrp #CW #sw3b

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

@UlisK3LU This sounds like a vintage radio club I recently had an SKCC contact with

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

@N4JAW Impressive! I struggled to get contacts today. I couldn’t even manage any FT8 this morning. I gave it a one-two punch (am and pm) to get it done.

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

Had to work to get this #qrp #CW #POTA in today. Started with just 3 contacts early this morning before it was time to feed family breakfast. Spent the day out, and returned to finish up as sun was setting after family left for home. A few #cqwwdx contacts helped.

[Steve Hailstone (K3SLH) @Pennsteven]

A bit gray for today’s #qrp #CW #POTA. But nice conditions at the park nonetheless. #portable #amateuradio
