Is This Spring?

Posted on March 5, 2025March 5, 2025 by KC8JC

Back To The Park The temperature was supposed to hit close to 60dF on a cloudy Tuesday in early March and that just screams GET TO THE PARK! I had a lot to do that morning, but I wasn’t going to ignore this clear sign from the universe that I was meant to head out…

Low Impact Activations

Posted on February 12, 2024February 12, 2024 by KC8JC

On Being Invisible Late last week, I was made aware of some concerns that the POTA team were having relayed to them by various official agencies about the poor behavior of activators in parks and on public land. This led to a great post by Thomas K4SWL and some good discussion over in the ham…

POTA Centennial

Posted on November 20, 2023November 20, 2023 by KC8JC

My birthday turned out to be a fantastic day in terms of November weather for NE Ohio. It was sunny and the sky was perfectly clear. The temperatures were in the mid to upper 40s and there was the slightest breeze. Given that it was my birthday and a Saturday to boot, it was a…

A West Branch Weekend

Posted on October 9, 2023October 9, 2023 by KC8JC

Bachelor Weekend! This past weekend was one where my son and I were living the bachelor life as the ladies were off camping. Given that my son is a big time sleep in kind of guy, I took the opportunity to go to West Branch State Park – K-1999 for an activation. Why West Branch?…

Rough Day For The Bands

Posted on August 7, 2023August 7, 2023 by KC8JC

A short report this time as there isn’t much to say about this one. My wife and I had a weekend to ourselves and we love to get out and ride. Our favorite destination is still Cuyahoga Valley National Park as it’s a good out and back with options if we’re in the mood to…

A Tuesday Afternoon

Posted on August 2, 2023August 2, 2023 by KC8JC

Some days, things end up in such a way as to allow us a little more space. On other days, we have to make that space. In either case, when it’s time to take a minute, it’s time. So it was on this past Tuesday. I found myself with some time that I’d carved out…

A Weekend At The Park

Posted on July 31, 2023July 31, 2023 by KC8JC

As July comes to a close, we’re starting to see the calendar ramp up for the back to school season in our house. That means that my phone is always covered in new things being added to the calendar. It gives a sense of pressure. There’s almost a mania to the closing out of summer….

A Quiet Activation

Posted on July 26, 2023July 26, 2023 by KC8JC

The last couple of weeks of July in NE Ohio are when everyone seems to empty out and head to a vacation destination. School will kick off for the kids earlier than usual this year, so everyone is grabbing that last trip to someplace else. And that means that the parks are quiet. After my…

OPERATION WARTHOG

Posted on July 24, 2023July 24, 2023 by KC8JC

The Warthog! I took a day off from work and having cleared some time off at home, found myself in the position to have the better part of a day to do a rove. I’ve been thinking about this for a while so the hard work of looking at the map and seeing that I…

There are as many ways to enjoy this hobby as there are people enjoying it. Plenty of categories for one to assign to one’s self. There are contesters. There are DXers. There are experimenters and kit builders. There are CW only operators. There are paper chasers. Some are rag chewers. There are the microwave operators…
