Bill Rhetts | A Lady Ham calling CQ mobile from Oregon - Ham Radio - K2PTL @ForensicPI | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Hearing a Ham call CQ mobile on HF is not common for me, and since this was a ‘7’ station, I answered her call. After listening further, it’s clear Michelle (KI7PON) was working a ‘parks on the air’ event with her “YL” (Tim - KD7WD), whereas hams work High Frequency from either a portable rig in the park or mobile in their vehicle. Working HF in a vehicle can be challenging. One time when I had my Yaesu 991a in my vehicle while driving (truly mobile), I made a contact with a station in Japan. But due to the driving hazards that HF can cause while driving, I removed my rig from that Jeep; glad to hear Michelle (KI7PON) was parked in a park. And as I often do, I U.S. mailed her a Gospel tract and a QSL card theexpositor.tv/the-glorious-gospel 73'2 K2PTL #HamRadio #QSL
