Many thanks to Michael (OK7SE) who writes: Hello Thomas. Michal (OK1SIM) has put together an online map that might be useful for activation planning. You might want to check it out: I usually activate "what's available," so I like that I can generate a map that aggregates SOTA, POTA, GMA, and WWFF for a target place (e.g., when I go to Austria for a trip) so I can see what's nearby my accommodation, etc.

In 2022, we created The QRPer Board, a discussion forum hosted at QRPer.net, where QRPers can ask questions, share insights, and explore amateur radio topics in depth. Why use the QRPer Board? The discussion board is the quickest way to get answers to your questions—much faster than sending an email to K4SWL--! Our growing community of active QRPers and field operators provides a wealth of knowledge and guidance.

Good Morning! It's January 1st, 2025, and I'd like to wish you a very Happy New Year! I mentioned on Patreon yesterday that, in a sense, I’m happy to see 2024 in the rear-view mirror.

I finally got to try something I’ve always dreamed of: proper QRP saltwater ground-planing! This week, we’ve been in Beaufort, North Carolina—a charming coastal town that I can’t recommend enough. As I mentioned in a post last week, I brought along my Elecraft KX2 and KH1 for the trip. On Tuesday, we hopped on a small boat/ferry to Cape Lookout National Seashore (US-0683).
