While activating park US-1139 in Chino Hills, California, I ran into a problem many mobile operators can relate to—a frayed coax cable that left my signal dead. I was using my Yaesu FTM-510DR and car antenna when the connection failed. In this video, I go over what happened, how I found the issue, and what I plan to do differently next time when running SOTA and POTA operations from the car.
