QSO Today Will Ravenel AI4VE - QRP from the beach without getting stuck in the sand Will Ravenel, AI4VE, loves to operate ham radio’s first digital mode, CW, using either hand (left or right), at low power, in the field and on the beach. After a severe illness, getting on the beach for Will is more difficult. We discuss some options, including Sand Hopper, and much more in this QSO Today. http://www.qsotoday.com/podcasts/AI4VE
Gud to hear a conversation around QRP, and yes as we age there is some changes we find ourselves doing, I do not know if I am just becoming more lazy or if it is out of fear, but I find myself driving my camper 3 miles to a local park rather than riding my bicycle. I get winded peddling my bicycle up a small grade and that concerns me, and by just driving I can set up my antenna and transmit from inside the camper if the weather is not to my liking. There is something about QRP ( 5watts or less ) that makes each contact special, kinda like the pride you get when you ride your Vespa scouter to meet your friends for a morning coffee on a tea spoon of gas instead of my camper which burn 1/2 gallon of gas for the for the 5 mile round trip. I do not have a Vespa ,yet but one of my friends does, and he sure likes to brag about what little gas he uses to get to where he is going. TU for having a well spoken guest, enjoyed what he had to say.
