    My #hamradio setup tonight participating in the Portland NET simplex exercise. The apartment shadows half the city so I can only hear a few stations and have to get others to relay my messages. Sometimes it's a nice reminder to see how much work it takes to communicate long distances without the Internet. #w7apk

    Took my new bike radio rig out for a spin tonight! It's a 40 amp-hour rechargeable battery powering a 50 watt radio in the side bag, connected to a roll-up antenna hanging from the bike flag. The cable runs along the bike frame up the handlebars to the radio faceplate attached to a magnetic phone mount. Was able to check in to the ARES net tonight without any trouble! First time on air with the new radio! #w7apk #hamradio
