The QRPer Board

I just upgraded my POTA bike and I've joined the world of eBikes. I've had the bike for just over a week and have over 100 miles on it. Took the bike to activate POTA on Sunday and it worked out great. This is a "starter" bike, to see if I really like eBikes, and decided if I do, then I'll...

I couldn't wait to activate a park over the weekend just to check it out. It is awesome!

Since I use HAMRS, I still had to email it to myself from my cell phone to my computer in order to upload. If there's a way to directly send from HAMRS, please let me know!

I've been working on different ways to incorporate both, and I recently saw a video of someone on YouTube doing a bike activation. That got the wh...

The brand new issue of QST has a review of the x6100 and it was a nice reivew.

Hi, how do you power off / on without taking the power of the device ? How do you do autocq, how do you start it ? thank you 72 Frank To power off - hold the main tuning knob in and turn it counterclockwise and you will see the volume adjusting lower and then when it gets to 0 - then it says it's p...

Actually using 72 instead of 73 has been around for decades, it's not something new. For QRP operators such as myself, I always sign with 72 instead of 73 when I'm operating at QRP power. Do not feel awkward doing it, because it also indicates to me that you are also QRP.
