Amateur Radio meets the outdoors - DitWit Portable Radio. I'm an avid Parks On The Air activator focused on CW mode and QRP power. The channel features QRP and QRO rigs, portable antennas, and portable power. I talk about and show the portable station setup. Filmed from the first person, operator's POV, these are great videos to get ideas on setting up your portable station, choosing and deploying your antenna system, and improving your Morse code copy. My goal is always easy and successful POTA activations. My name is Mark, call sign KA5TXN, see you in the park!
