For a moment when you were walking toward that stick I thought you were going for those boulders to use as the magic carpet hold down 😂

Wow, I am glad to see I am not the only one who has to deal with noisy channels sometimes. Thanks for the run down on how you set up Micheal.
-
Thanks for the take-a-long Michael. It’s very helpful to see all the details and learn extra tips.

I reached you there from my front porch & lawn in Colorado with a similar battery-powered setup. Any radio play is like POTA for me thanks to taking up the hobby after moving into an HOA.
-
I love this video as it’s very informative seeing the whole process. What great fun! I feel like a loser going to parks for hiking, etc. when I could be doing this instead. Thank you!

About 20 years ago I worked on a project in Wausau and a local guy, and great mentor, showed me around and took me to Rib Mountain. Your video brings back fond memories of the time I spent there. Picked up an FT891 and hoping to do my first POTA activation in a couple of weeks. 73, and thanks for the great tips!

Most helpful. I need to jump into this POTA.

I have a faraday cloth for the radials. I installed grommets in each corner. I bought small ground stakes at Menards, which slide easily through each grommet. Holds it down well.
