Keep the videos coming, they are great and just subscribed a couple days ago since you have an interest in POTA and I desire to start POTA myself based on your content! KJ7NJK, 73 my friend.

KJ7NJK, Thanks for watching and support. POTA and SOTA are my ham radio addiction. I just cant get enough.

Nice work! I love that summit, but man, there are a lot of ticks out there along that bushwhack!

[@dugbohamradio]

TNX- this is at the top of my list so far for summits - an excellent area to setup the gear. I did read about the ticks on Sotlas, but fortunately the wx was cooler that day and I didn’t see a one.

Pro-tip: use a small Velcro strap to attach the coax to the pole about 5-10 ft below the tip. You can cinch it tight and get it to support the coax weight from a stronger part of the pole.

Thanks for pro-tip Adam. That is definitely an ah ha moment to solve such simple issue to re-distribute the weight from the tip. I really appreciate it . Will try this next time out.
