Activated CA-5301. 51 contacts on FT8/4 and 2 SSB. Wanted to do more voice but was having trouble getting out. Got new DXCC entities today like Dodecanese and Lithuania. Got spotted for the first time in South Korea, unfortunately I wasn't able to receive them at all. #amateuradio #hamradio #POTA

Super excited for field day! We will be doing a joint operation between the Toronto Amateur Radio Club (TARC) and Scarborough Amateur Radio Club (SARC). One of the SARC members has a killer satellite ground station which I cant wait to see in action! #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #FieldDay

Due to the lack of bandpass filters only one station can operate at a time. Hunting on voice right now. Hopefully activate soon

Just made it to the park. Quite busy so we're finding a place to set up. We also couldn't get our bandpass filters so we will have to rotate ops/modes.

This Sunday, May 31 ~16:00 UTC, the Toronto Amateur Radio Club (VE3TNC), will be activating Sunnybrook Park Wilderness Park (CA-5670). We will be activating on multiple bands and multiple modes including Voice, CW, and FT8. Happy Hunting! #amateuradio #hamradio #POTA

I was also FINALLY able to get a contact with my friends in the UK, M7PXZ and M0WKZ so shout out to them!

Very successful activation! Voice was a bit difficult today so I switched to FT8 and had some crazy DX on 15 and 17! Cuba, Spain, Brazil, England, Slovenia, Germany, Dominican Republic, Romania, Croatia, France, and Italy. All on 20w from my G90 and JPC-12 Antenna.

Jealous! Been wanting to get a Uconsole specifically for use while in the field with my radio. It would make a perfect device for satellite work with the AIO v2 kit and CAT control.

Successful activation! 34 contacts, 22 SSB, 12 FT8. Got a hunter from Germany as soon as I started which was very exciting. CA-5301 is definitely one of the better parks for POTA. Low noise floor, nature all around, an awesome observatory building! Will be going back as soon as I can.

No problem, thanks for trying! Good luck on your activation tomorrow! 73!

Assuming weather cooperates my club, Toronto Amateur Radio Club (VE3TNC), will be activating the David Dunlap Observatory Park (CA-5301) on SSB, CW, and FT8 between 16:00-21:00 UTC this Sunday. Will be anywhere between 10-40m. likely 15-20-40m #hamradio #amateurradio #POTA #Shortwave #SSB #CW #FT8

Will be activating CA-1368 again today! Probably 20-40m. Hopefully more than 6 phone contacts this time... #amateuradio #hamradio #POTA

Peri0 @peri0.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
16 Contacts! Once again not a lot of phone but I guess that's the limitation of only 20w... Wanted to stay for the next Zulu day and get back to back activation but it was getting way to cold and my hands were freezing up when typing out call-signs into the log.

31 FT8/4 QSOs, 7 phone QSOs with 4 P2P. Was hoping for more phone contacts but my hands were getting too cold to stay. Overall pretty good for my first solo POTA activation! #hamradio #amatuerradio #FT8 #POTA #SSB

VA3DLU in my club built a pota performer. Took it out for a club activation and it worked great!

What antenna? Something commercial or home brew?
