Summits on the Air - Straight Key, New Zealand DX and Mother Nature

This is a reminder to expect the unexpected. This was a fun straight key summits on the air with my first New Zealand QSO (ZL1TM) and many new USA contacts. Activations do not always go as planned and mother nature won today by cutting my time short. Also lost video but have audio for those who like copy practice. Hope you all enjoy the episode.

Living vicariously through you. Peaks here are snow and ice. Thanks for the CW SOTA.

This year has been great for WX. This last week was all rain and we have a sliver of a break until the next system comes. I am brining a Tarp next time to keep the rain off. TNX for watching. -73

Roger that 👍🏻! Definitely going for another SK activation. So much fun.

[@KYFriedHam]

Just noticed you wrote your own theme song...that's awesome!

[@dugbohamradio]

I try to add in at least one song either in the intro or credits for each video. It takes me a few hours to write and record a song. High Surf Supernova was in the credits.
