Welcome to My Amateur Radio Journey
Hi there! I’m Jim, also known by my callsign N6KRJ. I have a passion for amateur radio that takes me to some of the most breathtaking locations near the ocean and up in the mountains. Through this blog, I aim to share my adventures in Parks on the Air (POTA) and Summits on the Air (SOTA) as well as the various radio projects that captivate my interest.
Parks on the Air: A Harmonious Blend of Nature and Radio
Parks on the Air presents a unique opportunity to combine my love for amateur radio with the great outdoors. Imagine setting up your radio gear on a mountaintop, surrounded by stunning views, while connecting with fellow ham radio enthusiasts. Each activation offers a chance to not only enjoy nature but also challenge myself to make contacts, all while embracing the simplicity of portable operations.
Crafting Innovative Projects and Gear
Beyond enhancing my operating skills, I enjoy tinkering with electronics and building my own gear. From constructing antennas to experimenting with portable radio stations, I love sharing the process behind these amateur radio projects with fellow hobbyists. This blog showcases my creations and serves as a platform for discussing ideas and improvements that can elevate our experiences.
Join me as I explore the blend of technology and nature through amateur radio. Dive into my projects, share your own experiences, and let’s celebrate the incredible adventures that await us out there!
