I did this video I show you how to use the National Park Service's metadata to build your own overlay to drop into your favorite mapping software. I use this to confirm that I am within 100 feet of the trail that will be activated. mygeodata.cloud nps.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=d89951079a374f28ab4a3b9fc41025dd #hamradio #yaesu #parksontheair #POTA

This video was the creation of an idea to see if I could use WSJT-X and the specific "code" generated for my call to send myself an email as a test.

Everything I needed fit into the backpack. I started out on a BBQ out but I wasn’t happy with the SWR. I relocated to the truck and finished the activation.

Omg! Yellow shorts and flip flops! (lmao) I thought you were gay until i noticed that pickup truck.
@@extreme978 ehhh, I did take my kid to the pool. I think yellow swim shorts are acceptable. The flip flops are for the house/pool only. Can’t run/fight in them. Gotta be the man and protect the family!!
That’s alot of “junk”
You need a Trunk Monkey to protect all that stuff, Mike. Looks like you're prepared for anything. Thanks
lots of goodies . Looks like you have all the bands covered.. thanks for the look Mike .. VE1SK
73, Sir. And thanks for sharing!
I remember that QSO. 73
Looks like just about everything including the 🤣🤣. Always great to see what a fellow ham brings to the park.
@@MrMudsHamRadioRadioTime clean hands, easy living 😂
The trunk dump is going to be a fun one
Its posted!!!
Hey there. We worked 12/24/23 when I was at US-1148. 73 de W6OBB
Cool to see someone else has thought of this general idea! I'm about to go on a road trip and wanted to not have to take my Bioenno AC charging brick with me (bulky and awkward.) I thought I could maybe use a 100w USB-C charging wall wart. I had an extra USB-C 20vdc power cable for a laptop that I cut the barrel connector off and added PowerPole connectors to. So far so good! I have a steady 20.4v coming in as my "solar" on the Powermini2. I can use this 4 port wall wart to charge other devices on my trip obviously so one less thing to pack. Also as an aside, I have done something similar in my shack with a West Mountain Radio Epic Powergate. I run my station DC power with an old lead gel battery and keep this battery charged directly from a 28v battery used as a back up power source for our house. That 28v goes into the Solar input on the Powergate. I wrote West Mountain and they said there was no problem doing this.
I feel that if DC is kept within the parameters of the manufacturer says, does it matter if it’s solar or some other. Nope. Sure doesn’t mess up on my testing.
@@Mike_K7CAN That's what I figured too. This USB-C / Anderson PowerPole cable seems like a useful addition to the radio kit. USB-C seems to be everywhere and powers supplies are a lot smaller than the default battery chargers. I figure the PowerMini2 does all the negotiations. Thanks again for your post!
That was a very informative video. I never knew you could do that! Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for sharing GaiaGPS
Great job! Thanks mike AK7RS
Nice!
Very good explanation.
The video that you did with bob was great.
I have the app now having some issues with setting it.
Are you following the video the creator has posted on UA-cam?
@@Mike_K7CAN I follow of you soon as I saw the video bob asked us viewers to start following you so I did.
Just got my powermini 2. The instructions with it say to only use a solar panel in the powermini's solar input. I know it works, but I wonder if there is potential for damage?
I would think the total amps / volts is what matters most. Solar pushes 21-22 volts. The alternator pushes 14-15 volts and far less amps than the solar does.
@@Mike_K7CAN I'll call the company and see what they say about it. Seems like it shouldnt make a difference.
Bob sent me 😂
thanks for stopping by and subbing!!
Nice video Bob k6uda mentioned you to us.
Thanks for coming
Hi Mike, thanks for the contact. 73 and good DX! Juergen (George) AH6UN / OE4JHW
Thanks again! It was fun working you!!!
Diesel “stinky” shame on you😀thanks for the charge test.
Kicking the can is better than kicking the bucket. Great idea Mike.
looks like you were having fun.. VE1SK
It’s Happening! 👍📻⚡️Nice Mike! WA7FLY
101 wow awesome job!
Thank you! Cheers!
looks like you were having fun!! 73 VE1SK
It was a hoot!! 101 in the log in 2 hours or so.
Very cool! You will have to do a presentation at a club meeting soon!
I’m not sure I like that idea!!! 😂
very cool Mike, I am going to have to check that out. VE1SK
Thank you for the tutorial
Happy I could help!!
When you set your frequency on your phone, can that be done on the fly? Meaning without Cell Service? Or do you have to set the frequency when you are in cell range? W7RTA
The frequencies are set before you go. Essentially you get a 1,000,000 blop. You can "program" several blogs that you can have saved in a 'note' on your phone and cut/paste the one you need. For example, this past weekend I had all the parks for MT,ID, and WY with 40m,20m,15m, and 10m all programmed in for the phone portion. they were set at 1,000 hertz range so for example 14.225,14.226, 14.227.......14.347,14.348,14.349 14.350 but for the listed bands.
I was impressed when I saw you spotted via SOTAmat. Started trying it out and all I can say is wow. Thanks for the real life How I Pota.
Nice one Mike!
Looks like you're having fun! de K7SU
I try!! It’s fun making this short videos!!
God, guns and radios! I love Idaho! Good job. de K7SU
Fantastic Video Mike. Less time setting up = more time to play on the air. See ya on the bands! VA5MuD
I figured if you’re doing an impromptu series why not me!!!
Nice Mike , glad I managed to make it in the logs.. Great to see the different setups, a mag mount will be here soon, something for the car since it will not stick to the Ford.. lol 73 VE1SK
The mag mount is so easy!! Especially when moving onto the next site so quickly.
Great job on the video Mike.....
Thanks Frank!! I have to compete with Simon and Wes!! I like the no frills, no edit!!
@@Mike_K7CAN looks like you're having fun!! that's all that matters
Wooohoooo pile up!!!
