Perfect POTA Pole
Did I really find the Perfect POTA Pole? I already have this 7 meter long fishing pole which I tend to use when going out for POTA or WWFF activations. Collapsed for transport this pole is 114 cm. At the same company where I bought this one they also have a 6 meter travel pole with a transport length of 56 cm. I really like the decreased transport length since I will be using this pole when travelling either by bike or foot. It can easily be attached to my backpack. Check the pole out here.
The tip of the pole
Did I mention the orange tip? Not yet so it seems. The orange tip on top of the pole has a sliding tube where you easily can attach your antenna wire and securing it just by sliding it back to the top. Might come in very handy.
Guying the pole
And you know what’s best? My guying set (see my previous post) fits like a glove to this one as well. Happy HAM.
This one is for me. I like to be out in the open and I like to play radio. Best of both worlds in WWFF. Despite cold (or hot for that matter) weather bugs and sand all over the place I really enjoy putting up an antenna in the field ,on the beach, in a park and make nature my shack. And if not outside hunt other activators for some “awards”. But why not one program that fits all? I mean POTA, VOTA, IOTA, MOTA, WWFF and probably a lot more. C’mon we can do better!
Today I did a WWFF activation for the first time. First 20 kilometers by bike to end up in the dune area of Meijendel, PAFF-0162. Super nice weather, beautiful skies and a nice sun were my share.
