In Alabama when it snows, the whole town shuts down. After the roads cleared and the sun came out, we just had to get outside and on the air. Although cold, it was a beautiful day and reminded us just how much fun it was to go for a little hike, set up our station and see who was listening. Sending on a straight key with cold hands turned into a bit of a challenge but we had a great time as always. 73, Michael N4FFF es Becky N4BKY ♨️ Want to Support Us? 📍 WHERE ARE WE: Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge : US-0161 #/park/US-0161 Trail of Tears National Historic Trail : US-3791 #/park/US-3791 ⚙️ OUR GEAR (featured in this video): RIG : QCX mini Antenna - K6ARK EFHW Becky’s Putikeeg Straight Key INIU Power Bank USB-C PD Capable 12V USB-C PD to Barrel Plug Trigger Cable Silicone Cable Ties Sony Headphones Kelty Low Loveseat 2 Person Camping Chair Naturehike FT07 Ultralight Camping Table, 1.6 LBS Portable POTA20 Mast DJI Osmo Pocket 3, Vlogging Camera Polo by Ham2k 📒Contacts - Thank you everyone!
