More Parks on the Air Fun

I've been activating for "Parks on the Air" as often as I can — sometimes weekly or five or six times a month. Here are some photos of my experiences. ==> 73 de K0BUB

My Personal Frequencies for the Icom 705 (RT Systems programming file)

For anyone interested, this is a zipped file of 179 of My Personal Frequencies for the Icom 705. It is an RT Systems programming file for the HF, VHF, and UHF frequencies that I listen to within a 40-mile radius of West Des Moines, Iowa. The RT Systems software (and accompanying USB cable) is available for purchase at RT Systems, Inc. ==> 73 de K0BUB

My First Three POTA Activations (2023)

Using my laptop, an Icom 705, and a 17' whip, I started Parks on the Air activations in July 2023. NOTE: The main pack featured in this video is the Endurax Extra Large Camera DSLR/SLR Backpack. ==> 73 de K0BUB

Off Duty APRS Station

I have a renewed interest in APRS. I am currently maintaining two APRS stations at my home. One is for a base station operation and one is for a portable operation. ==> 73 de K0BUB

Playing Radio in a Central Iowa County Park

My friend and I set up in a Central Iowa County Park a few weeks back, and enjoyed one of the last nice days of 2022. My first contact was to Canada on 20 meters at 5 watts! ==> 73 de K0BUB

The “Ham Radio” Phonetic Alphabet

Since I am in and out of ham radio so often (and since my memory isn’t what it used to be), I can appreciate this visual reminder of the “Ham Radio” Phonetic Alphabet. ==> 73 de K0BUB

Icom 705 Data Modes

Earlier this year, I created some videos on how to setup the Icom 705 for various data modes. Check out my YouTube playlist here. NOTE: These videos are for reference purposes only. ==> 73 de K0BUB

I Support the ARRL

I am supporting the ARRL, year in and year out, regardless of whether I am active on the bands. They are the one consistent path to lawmakers that amateur radio has. ==> 73 de K0BUB
