2025-03-28 19:15:44 | ian@mastodon.radio | 18 | Success! | This week's entry in the 52-week Ham Radio Challenge is to make a contact from an unusual location and post a picture!I haven't managed to go anywhere truly interesting with a radio this week, BUT, I bet not too many people have done a POTA activation sat on top of a giant wooden ant sculpture. So, here's this from today.HC13S |
2025-03-29 15:41:59 | n8dmt@mastodon.radio | 20 | Success! | Completed an unusual location QSO with John K9WIC on morning of March 14. Was up on the fifth floor of a senior independent living facility and looking out the south side window onto the golf course below. Repeater was a-bit north of this location ā suspecting backscatter/reflections helped to complete this 2m contact.HC13S #HamChallenge #HamRadio(Repost with added inclusions for the ham challenge report/boost.) |
2025-03-30 19:58:10 | DC4LW@social.darc.de | 13 | Working on it... | I'm really struggling with this week's #hamchallenge HC13. I cannot think of an "unusual location" for doing a QSO. I would do a QSO from quite everywhere as long as it is not risky. So, I think, I'll skip this challenge for the time being and probably I'll find a suitable location later on this year. @hamchallenge |
2025-03-30 20:37:14 | g7kse@mastodon.radio | 15 | Success! | So my HC13S is probably not a win. Because there's no real photo..I started a new OTA. It's called Livestock pens on the air. The downside is that your feet smell a bit rural as a minimum.I got permission from a local farmer to go to the top of a local high spot. So, cycled up there and did my thing.The closest thing I have for evidence is this....my windswept bonse and an APRS digipeater wedged in some fencing before I did some testing.@hamchallenge |

2025-05-19 00:50:27 | yo3gnd@mastodon.radio | 30 | Success! | POTA RO-0109, The People's Palace, built on labour of communist political prisoners houses The Contemporary Art Museum. It is 270 by 240 by 90 meters tall, with another 90 meters of sub basements. Another less useful thing it houses beyond the museum is the Parliament and its two chambers.There was a flurry of activity today in the park: today was a rerun of our presidential elections. I nominate this for an unusual location #HC13S. |
