Re: My first QRP POTA Activation was a Failure!

Thanks, Todd! And my apologies for my delayed reply... That's the one thing that has always interested me about ham radio: of all the things you can do, it's always a new adventure when you change just one thing.

But I guess that's to be expected as I AM A POTA ROOKIE! :lol: Anyway, I've written up another report, really just a creative exercise in self-indulgence, but also helps keep me at least somewhat social.

Throw Lines and trees

I've been through all the posts and don't see my question so I figured I'd start a new post to introduce myself. My name is Brian and I'm a General class operator.
