park portable doublet

Flight of the Bumblebees

August 6, 2018

The FOBB is a contest put on by the Adventure Radio Society.  These are the people who also host the spartan sprint once a month.  The idea is to get portable and operate your radio.  The FOBB and NJQRP Club Skeeter Hunt are the events that I actually learned radio doing!!  I’ll never forget the first contest I took part in, I worked Greg Lane N4KGL.  How he copied anything I sent and the fact I copied anything back is a miracle!  But. . . I still follow Greg on Google+ and we trade emails occasionally.  He has been a very helpful elmer over the years.  You’ll hear him in my video!  (This is actually just a bizarre coincidence!  I happened to hit record right before he responded to me.

JD (K5HH) has been showing me up by Vlogging.  I doubt I become a Vlogger, BUT. . . I did make a video of the contest and figured I would share with you.  Check it out, share with your friends.  Tell me what I can do to make it more useful for the upcoming Skeeter Hunt in the comments below!

I’m a relatively new ham. Got my license, joined a club and I’m having fun! I enjoy CW, pedestrian mobile, backpacking, and I dream of building radios at some point. At present I have a wife and daughters so my building time is limited.

How To Set Up a Park Portable Doublet

April 3, 2018

We had our park outing and I took some time to make a video on how to set up the park portable doublet.  If you have any questions on how to set it up or make your own, let me know in the comments below.
