This is a great BLOG thread to talk about all RADIO-RELATED topics... Such as project you're working on... A great QSL card you just got in the mail... Help Desk Subjects, like How to I apply to LoTW, or Should I get involved with a QSL Buro, and how? These are just some of the questions we can discuss here to get more involved with amateur radio... And of course we can continue our talks each week on the air at 19:00 EST on 28.413 MHz during the actual ON-AIR POTA*413 Roundtable....

I ended up purchasing a new "RADIO COMMUNICATIONS" BANNER that we can use for POTA*413 Public Field Events, If nothing else I will bring this along with the other Yellow "Public Welcomed" Banner, both can promote the MTARA Field Day Event, that POTA*413 members also attend each year.

Here are the banners:

The New Blue One I just purchased to go with the yellow one above.

If you have a favorite activation photo of you or your group operating at a Nataion / State Park or Summit, please send it in to us. It will be considered to be added to our Gallery Of Footprints album, located here at the POTA*413 website.

Sorry for missing the last couple of POTA*413 roundtables this month. Between getting over my bronchitis and then just this past Wednesday I attended Ralph's KA1V's Wake, and then later Funeral. Getting on the air was not possible. I will try again this upcoming week.

Been doing a ton of POTA hunting on 10 meters recently. Band has been wide open!

Replying to

Yeah, 10 meters is excellent once it really opens up. We are still climbing the solar peek, then she will start to decline slowly. You'll have to read off a list of everyone you worked recently for the next POTA*413 roundtable.
