Amateur radio operator interested in many facets of the hobby including ARES, SKYWARN, POTA and of course the quest for DX. Mostly phone and FT8.

[Michael (KD3MAD) @kd3mad]

Been too long since playing radio, but we will be out for our annual 9/11 Memorial POTA. Please watch for us OTA starting roughly around 2000 UTC.

We'll never forget! Be well and be blessed...

I've spoken a lot over the last couple of months about how much the 'A Perfect Circle' show at Wembley meant to me, and I'm so happy that it's finally being released. Thank you as always for your incredible support.

'A Perfect Circle', out now: https://t.co/1o997Xvpsa

@numanofficial Just bought my copy. Absolutely amazing!

It's been 56 years since Apollo 11 launched for the Moon, yet surprisingly, it wasn't even the day's most significant event. Two new beginnings in the same day and the world was never the same!

See kids, Santa is real! ☺️

Notice to local hams with SKYWARN and activating POTA, there is prescribed burn set for PA SGL 211 today in the area of Rattling Run between Stony and Clarks. Smoke expected to be visible throughout Dauphin County and beyond.

[Michael (KD3MAD) @kd3mad]

Today is the day! After a long Winter's nap and #POTA hunting only, we are heading out to activate!!!

More details to come...

[Michael (KD3MAD) @kd3mad]

@K5PO Excellent reminder! I can offer additional ideas.

I use N3JFP as my main logger. Windows only yes, but DBs sync to OneDrive. Then, I push everything up to QRZ which in turn sync with LOTW. Very automated.

Perhaps a bit much but after HAMRS lost a 200+ QSO POTA, I learned.

[Michael (KD3MAD) @kd3mad]

@W3MSB Either right after you left, or as you where leaving, we registered hi wind gust of 36.7 here in the valley.

@WD3DLive I was monitoring through Broadcastify, and he and every operator went above and beyond to help those in need. All despite our own so called leaders do nothing.

Outstanding #POTA @ US-8983 in tribute to #PatriotDay. 111 QSOs honoring 9/11. Band Hopper II inverted V was awesome.

God Bless and be safe!

Packing up for #PatriotDay #POTA at US-8983. Hope to be OTA by 1900 UTC. Our humble way of remembering those tragic events. A beautiful day here today, exactly like 23 years ago. God bless!

[Michael (KD3MAD) @kd3mad]

It has been confirmed! First Japan QSO from EPA. 20M / 100W.

[Michael (KD3MAD) @kd3mad]

Just when you think it will never happen, I made a voice contact to Japan! On 20M 100W nonetheless. I just hope we confirm. All Asia contest.

Thank you for your patience JH1GEX!!!

Ah yes, back in Penn's Woods for #POTA! 2 great activations today at US-8806 (home away from home) and a new one driving home at US-8787. Great day playing radio.

You know you have been away from #hamradio too long when you need to get a fix you put a ham stick on top of your Blackstone.

It worked!
