The QRPer Board

I've updated this to a new version, 0.7 with a few important changes, and the assembly documentation now is full of pictures and better instructions.

Yeah, if both operators spot the same frequency and park(s), at least Polo should show you as CALL1,CALL2 and load both calls to work, which should be a great hint to operators logging with polo. I didn't understand how that worked when Brantley K4CBW and I were activating; I learned that just a lit...

It's a social activity , fun for exactly the same reasons as passing the mic when using SSB. This has nothing to do with desperation; that's a straw man. No one said it was about desperation; not sure why you bring that up as a motivation. Like the whole rest of POTA, this is for fun. Maybe you have...

So the fact that trying to do it at all would be relatively unusual but not unheard of isn't ipso facto a ...

Shortly before N4NTO Tripp passed, Mark N4MQU did a video of Tripp teaching him to do a dual-operator CW POTA activations. I watched that video, and then combined it with conversations on Mastodon including with Dan KB6NU and actually trying a dual-operator QRP activation with Brantley K4CBW last we...

I've been iterating for the past six months or so on an open-source 3D-printed single-paddle key, and I'm looking for feedback from more experienced CW ops. This key uses a 3d-printed spring, can be held in the opposite hand, strap-mounted to leg or anything that it can be strapped to, or desk mount...

I am a new ham just getting started. I've successfully activated on 10–15W SSB on my KX3 using a simple 5m vertical whip, with 1000+ miles on 10W, and 1600 mile DX on 15W. Definitely possible. But also, I have to be patient in pile-ups. ☺
