The Ham Shack
Ham radio YouTube channel
Ham radio is many things to many people. I have incorporated adventure in getting to remote places to set up field stations, selecting POTA parks that are out of the way and require 4x4, boat or helicopter to access. I have been a ham for almost 40 years and have been involved with DX-Peditions, Emergency Comms, Field Stations and POTA. I make an effort to live every minute.
