These days, I mostly enjoy SSB portable operation while participating in Parks On The Air (POTA). I enjoy building antennas based on designs created by other hams and taking them into the field. There’s still something fascinating about grabbing a radio, a battery, and an antenna I built myself,
heading out to a beach, forest, or mountaintop, setting up, and making contact with someone across the globe—then packing it all up like I was never there.
One of my favorite moments was making my first contact with Australia during a POTA activation. I was using a 10-meter inverted V I made from speaker wire, a dual binding post, and a 28-foot mast.
