Re: Bicycles On The Air
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...

Re: POTA Uploader
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!

Re: Bicycles On The Air
Hey Rick, Those are some great tips. I took my crappie pole when I was first looking to see if biking and POTA would really work, and I was able to wedge my fishing pole and it sort of fit snug in the caliper of my front hand brake and the bike was the "tripod". I did another bike activati...

Bicycles On The Air
I like to incorporate hiking and POTA/SOTA activations as much as possible. Now that summer is finally here in Pennsylvania, I also enjoy bicycle riding. 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...

Re: 72 instead of 73?
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.
