You cannot expect to communicate effectively in a crises unless you are trained with your equipment and put your plan in to practice.  Gaston enjoys experimenting with his radio gear in the field in order to prepare himself for those unexpected situations where normal means of communicating fail.

Gaston has used unusual modes in unusual locations to push himself to learn all he can about his capabilities.

Gaston has a YouTube channel where he documents his many adventures, including how he plans for the unexpected before leaving for the field.  You Can find his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTechPrepper

High adventure trips are physically demanding and have inherent risks.  Ham radio operators who choose to combine high adventure with ham radio need to know how to mitigate these risks.  Tim N7KOM joins us for this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone to talk about some of his high adventure trips and how he prepares for them.

Tim's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@N7KOM

Whether it’s Summits on the Air, Parks on the Air or other outdoor ham radio programs and activities, you may choose to increase the difficulty of your trip.  We might only think of SOTA as high adventure but there have been some amazing POTA or Field Day trips that would be considered high adventure as well.  It’s all about what you make it!

I was first introduced to Glenn W4YES in a Morse code class for youth offered by the Long Island CW Club.  Getting to know him, I realize he is doing a lot of innovative things to make Morse code learning easier.  If you visit his website at https://w4yes.com you'll see that he promotes the Instant Character Recognition approach to learning Morse code.  I am also very impressed with a collaboration project he is working on, where he and his collogue are developing an online learning site called Word List Trainer.  This site is extremely helpful to Morse code students.

Many of you will know our gest for this episode, Vince VE6LK.  He is a co-host on the Ham Radio Workbench podcast.  Vince is interested in a wide range of ham radio topics and loves to stretch himself by diving into some interesting technical topics.  But Vince is also grounded in the practical use of ham radio in the field, with his involvement in Emergency Communications.

Vince is an charismatic, interesting person and so I honestly am not sure which direction we'll go with this discussion.  But one thing is certain - we will all learn something and have a great time.

Richard N1RBD's ham radio journey began when I joined a wilderness Search and Rescue (SAR) team which uses HTs for communications during call-outs. He does a lot of hiking and backpacking in the North Georgia Mountains and on the Appalachian Trail, so he felt his knowledge of the area could be helpful.  

He activated a few SOTA summits with VHF, and was amazed at how far he could get from the summit of a 3000ft mountain running 5 watts. He then discovered Parks on the Air (POTA). Living 7 minutes from a POTA park, he tried some VHF activations with no success. Apparently, there is a huge difference between getting 4 QSOs from a summit vs 10 QSOs from a low-lying park when running VHF!  

He started his CW journey in January of 2020 using online resources and apps. His first CW QSO was on March 3, 2020 using a CW Morse Nano straight key to chase a POTA operator for a park to park contact. A few months later, he finally worked up the nerve to attempt a CW SOTA activation. On July 4, I garnered 15 CW QSOs, including my Elmer! At this point, I was officially hooked on CW.

Pat K7GUD is no stranger to the backcountry, but is relatively new to Ham Radio.  Pat has been Hiking, Backpacking, Climbing, Skiing, and participating in many other outdoor activities for nearly his whole life.  He writes on his QRZ page, "I've been a hiker and climber a lot longer than I've been a ham, so the "Summits" part was pretty natural. I already have all the gear I need for lightweight backcountry travel.  The "on the Air" part was a little more difficult. But thanks to the many great YouTube videos about POTA and SOTA and portable operation, I was able to sort out what I needed to get started.

Pat has a great "new ham" perspective, and is an excellent communicator.  If you are new to ham radio and want to start operating portable, you won't want to miss what Pat has to say in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone.  If you already operate portable you'll find Pat's journey fascinating.
