- Today I take you to POTA park US-0716 and setup my system to use the Ten Tec Scout 555 HF amateur radio to work some CW and SSB contacts so I can activate the park. This is a nice little spot for this kind of POTA activation as it is easy to access. POTA is a fun variation of amateur radio that blends aspects of preparedness with radio communications.
If you enjoy the video, do us a solid and share it around as well as hitting those magical buttons everyone points to!!!
amazing sir
Thank you! Morse code is fun, but I also like a lot of other radio modes like single side band (where you talk to the microphone like I do at the end) and digital modes as well. IT is all fun.
Great video and activation from the truck. You have a good choice of gear. I have been doing only portable ops from here in Florida and around the Caribbean for twenty years. Keep up the good work. Danny WZ1P.
Thank you! I am obsessed with Ten Tec gear! HaHa. I just love how the CW sounds coming out of one. Hope to work you soon, I also get to activate in Florida a good bit a couple times a year.
Great activation. I really like the radio. All the best. 73s
Thank you! I love the Scout, I wished I had picked one up years ago now...
You had a great activation. Love that radio. All the best. 73s
Many thanks! I really appreciate it!
nice to see an American radio at a POTA!
I do love Ten Tec radios… I also enjoy a few other radios but my Ten Tec machines are by far my favorite. 👍
I second your advice at the end!! Keep the air radiated and throw your call sign out on your local repeater a couple of times a week..Handy to know people in your area in case of anything going really wrong! Cool video Dave, I got to learn CW good enough not to embarrass myself on the air over the winter...I have seen those radios a very few times at Hamfest but never used one..It sounds good! Yes, you should film yourself tearing your rig down so we can see you getting tangled up in your wire 😂😂😂
Thanks! Most people want way too much for them, but they are cool none the less. I like the modular design, it is just cool.
@@HamRadioTodaykind of like a retro camera, simply cool!
This might be a stupid question, but what's the point of all of the beeps and how did you know what state they're coming from?
No problem at all, that is morse code and I know it. They were sending information in a simple coded way.
