Radio Ramblings: 22 September 2024 POTA, Part 1

One thing I'm (re)discovering is that video editing takes time. I'm probably going to have to rethink my recording strategy, in fact. On this particular day, I made a point of recording pretty much everything—a full FT8 activation, then a segment where I hunted around the bands for voice contacts, and then a segment where I camped out on a frequency and called CQ.

All in all, I probably have four hours of raw footage, which is a LOT to sift through. I have no illusions that most people would sit through all of that unedited, so editing is a must.

Anyway, here is the first part, which is my setup and my FT8 activation, with screen-capture of the FT8 session and running commentary.
