SOTA Multi Summit Adventure

I go on a hike with N4NFM (‪@TomJacobsFilms‬) to activate three summits in North GA in freezing temperatures: Abercrombie Bald, Big Cedar Mountain, and Black Mountain! This video gives a good overview of basic gear for Summits on the Air (SOTA), including a QRP radio (Lab599 TX-500), QRP End-Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antenna (QRPGuys 80m-10m Mini No Tune EFHW Antenna), how to hoist an antenna in the field, and what it's like to activate on single sideband (SSB).

Includes an end of day review of the Garmin inReach Mini 2!
