| 2025-03-19 15:57:18 | n8dmt@mastodon.radio | 18 | Success! | Been having fun with #HamChallenge2025 https://hamchallenge.org/HC16S Make a contact with a xOTA station. Ran across AB9CA on 20m CW. Heard CQ POTA so gave him a quick call on 14.053 MHz. Was not sending park info, so checked POTA app and found him listed at US-1095. Conditions fair but completed contact. 2017 UTC, 3/18/25. ~17 WPM CW. @hamchallenge |
| 2025-04-15 07:14:47 | mischk@bunt.social | 11 | Working on it... | this weekend is Parks on the air Spring Support your Park Weekend. A great opportunity to pack your gear and activate the nearby park. HC16 #hamchallenge |
| 2025-04-15 14:43:32 | g7kse@mastodon.radio | 14 | Success! | Currently attempting to contact an xOTA using FT8 for but not having much luck. It's not a mode I usually use but it's try something different day today. I'll give it a bit more time before I go back to other modes just in case. My log is filled with SOTA chases but very few POTA or WWFF, so I'm still going to say it's a success, even if I can't get the common types in the log todayI will no doubt be out activating at the weekend anyway HC16S |
| 2025-04-15 20:05:05 | dd1mat@mastodon.social | 12 | Working on it... | 📡 #HamChallenge2025 Week 16: Make a contact with a xOTA station Just worked VP2VI 🇻🇬 on 12M #cw with my vertical and barefoot 100w. Consider the IOTA NA-023 as HC16s but will try to find SOTA or POTA on 40M later. |
| 2025-04-17 22:53:17 | ei7ijb@mastodon.radio | 6 | Working on it... | For the 16th challenge, 'Make a contact with a xOTA station.’, I will be keeping an ear out for any stations calling. #hamchallenge HC16 @hamchallenge |
| 2025-04-19 01:28:08 | dd1mat@mastodon.social | 12 | Success! | HC16S Made my first two actively chased #pota contacts today with EI6IF and M1DDD. Uploaded my log to pota.app to verify the P2P contacts.#hamradio #HAMChallenge |
| 2025-04-19 17:56:03 | mischk@bunt.social | 11 | Success! | My activation of DE-0605 went great. I went to the trail 200 meters away from where I am staying at the moment, built up my setup and did all the 10 QSOs only by hunting other stations. 8 Park to Park contacts, and two special calls for "100 years of IARU" events in France and Spain.

| 2025-04-20 01:16:08 | stu@gott.social | 10 | Working on it... | Struck out on my HC16 attempt today. 20m was busy but nobody seemed to hear me. Support Your Parks Weekend tends to be a bit of a zoo. Every park I could hear was a pileup.It's always fascinating how HF travels. I heard Portugal on SSB and Oregon on CW. |
| 2025-04-20 02:48:18 | mcdanlj@social.makerforums.info | 9 | Success! | @stu Oh huh I guess my five P2P QSOs yesterday count as HC16S even if it wasn't a "successful" activation by POTA standards. I wasn't even paying attention to that when I decided to go commit CW in a state park! ☺ |
| 2025-04-20 11:22:14 | evanboyar@universeodon.com | 2 | Success! | @hamchallenge tough activation today with the #POTA Support Your Parks Weekend. With #CW, FM, and SSB I juuust managed it, though the pota app shows I didn't for some reason. I think it's confused about my final contact which was a P2P 2fer. Hopefully it corrects itself soon! #hamchallenge #amateurradio #hamradio |
| 2025-04-20 11:44:45 | ian@mastodon.radio | 15 | Success! | Ham Challenge Week 16 was an easy win. I was going to be out for POTA's Spring event anyway, and put 14 park-to-parks in the log.That completes the next batch, so you can read the full details of weeks 13-16 on my blog here:https://ianrenton.com/blog/52-week-ham-radio-challenge-roundup-weeks-13-16/#HamChallenge #HC16S |
| 2025-04-20 11:48:46 | literatesavant@mastodon.au | 6 | Success! | Uploading my logs for last week's various SOTA activations. I note that I worked ZL2STR who was in POTA park NZ-0020 - Tawharanui Regional Park. So I can count that for HC16S! #hamradio |
| 2025-04-20 15:06:04 | DJ5CW@social.darc.de | 15 | Success! | #hamchallenge week 16: Work a xOTA station. This last week I was travelling and although I took my remote stuff with me, I barely had time to get on the air. But I worked three station that qualify: DL3BRE/P (WFF), DL4FDM/P (SOTA) and DL6YYM/P (WFF). The latter is the maker of the famous Bamatech Morse paddles! https://www.bamatech.net/morsetasten/ HC16S @hamchallenge |
| 2025-04-20 22:36:48 | stu@gott.social | 10 | Success! | #HC16S made contact with WI2X from NY on CW. The bands are still inexplicably terrible for supposedly good conditions. I was spinning and grinning for an hour when that station suddenly burst in loud and clear.Now chasing MN. Which fades in and out, barely audible.I'm hearing zilch on SSB. This is why I like morse. It works when voice doesn't. |
| 2025-04-20 22:53:50 | K3LOE@mastodon.radio | 6 | Success! | Oh hey hey, looks like my first FT8 contact with K7CAR at Dixie National Park in Utah also successfully completes the Week 16 #HamChallenge: Make a contact with a xOTA station. HC16SThe synchronicity swings back in my direction. #HC16S #FT8 #HamRadio #Magic @hamchallenge |
| 2025-04-21 12:19:25 | DJ3CE@social.darc.de | 12 | Success! | Trying to get back into order with the #hamchallenge s. Made two QRP #cw SOTA contacts on 40m yesterday from an improvised shack (QMX, EFHW). They (on a summit) knew my name, i knew nothing. The ‘P’ in my callsign means ‘polite’ and ‘prepared’ 🙈. HC16S |
| 2025-04-22 18:51:41 | DL6PL@social.darc.de | 4 | Working on it... | I also couldn't activate anything last week, so I can mark HC16s and HC29s as successful. Honestly I could have done that on January the first, but I don't want to complete challenges before the actual week. #hamchallenge |
