The title is slightly misleading. While I did go hiking and I did take a radio, each night when I got to camp I was so wiped out I never set it up. I just didn’t have the energy to do it. I did take my GoPro and I thought you might enjoy the story.
More building next week!

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.
