Anytime, bud! Sooner or later, I'll get Pink's call right... It's funny. Every time you two hunt me on POTA or chase me on SOTA the same thing happens. I make the QSO with you, then realize it was you after you say "stand by for 2nd operator" and I break concentration and miss Pink's call.. Glad you two know I can't think and play radio at the same time. 😂
@@Scout75PortableRadio hopefully one of these days you and I can meet up and we can maybe activate a par together. I’ve been sort of slacking trying to get the G 90 in a box of some sorts and I gotta figure out battery and all that stuff but an Elmer here so I’m just trying to do it on my own right now.
Nice activation, Shane. I'm looking forward to trying POLO. I figured I'd wait for the public release. I'm excited about being able to use it for joint SOTA/POTA activations.
Thanks, Mike! In a few weeks I’m heading to a SPOTA hike in that I am looking forward to using this logging app on. I think he’s getting close to a public release. But if I were you I’d jump on the beta. It works great and you don’t need to update to each release. Check out the Discord, lost of good people and info there.
Nice work Shane! I got a video dropping tomorrow night on PoLo. Used it twice so far. If I do an after work activation today I’ll use it again there. 73!
I downloaded the Beta while I was watching your video. When I start doing SOTA, I want to see if I can eliminate the weight of the laptop. I'll have the phone with me anyway. Might as well play with it now and see if I like it! What did you think about keying in the callsigns? Were the "buttons" large enough?
It's a bit of a challenge with my fat thumbs, but it is very doable. PoLo is laid out very nice and the key are about as big as they can be on a little phone. I've been getting better each time I use it. I've even been practicing on the couch watch other's activation videos. Thanks for watching, Rodger!
Thanks for the QSOs and the love!

Great to see a video again. 73
Thanks, Chris! I've been slacking a bit, but I hope to post on a more consistent basis again. Always appreciate your support. Thanks for watching!

PoLo looks pretty slick! I like that 1 SOTA activation per month goal!
Thanks, Patrick! The PoLo app is really cool and it’s still being improved. Wish more ham radio apps and websites take notice and modernize.

@@Scout75PortableRadio SPOTA! I like that and can't believe I haven't heard it before, LOL.

Thanks, Jeff! I’m not the biggest fan of logging on my phone, but this works pretty well. I think it would be much better on a tablet, like your iPad.

@@Scout75PortableRadio Thanks for the great tip about watching other's Activation videos and practicing on the app! I'll have to try that.
