First Time Using Lemmy
First Time Using Lemmy
I live in upstate New York, I have a general class license, and this is my first time using Lemmy (or any federated social for that matter).
My mobile rig is a VR-N7500 "50W" VHF/UHF. It uses Bluetooth control from my phone, and it does APRS.
My QTH rig is a Xiegu G90 on a 40m EFHW powered by micro solar. I mainly do FT8, as well as a little VARA HF WinLink. (I'm a bit mic shy and my antenna setup isn't that great.)
I'm interested in POTA (and maybe SOTA).
Hope to meet some friendly folk!

Hi,
I live in Germany. I've had the Klasse E licence (equivalent to something between tech and general) for a few months now.
I'm using a IC7300 with a 10/15/20 tri-band dipole.
Also really mic shy, so I'm looking into POTA/SOTA because of the standard exchange.
I started using Lemmy a few days ago, also still fairly new to it.Hello! Nice to meet you!
I recently bought arborist throw line for POTA use. It helps to get the antenna into the trees.
Might be worth a look, if you're interested in that. I bought from Weaver leather.
Thanks!
I have neither the portable equipment, nor a nearby park for a POTA activation, so I think I'll try hunting first.
There are lots of mountains where I live though, so SOTA with a HT might work.Even with a HT, you'll probably have a blast on a summit. Line of sight for miles and miles could mean lots of contacts!
