VA7BIX does crazy POTA
Simon VA7BIX did a crazy POTA on May 11th during the G5 storm when the A-index was 272 and the K-index was 9. He was on 20 meters with a ton of static. He’s running 100 watts with a 10db gain on the salt water. He starts CQing at 15 minutes in the video. And makes contacts! In fact, he gets a pile-up!
Check out his “on-the-ocean” YouTube video.

Doesn’t look that stable (the boat I mean).
LOL Simon is crazy fun. Energy to burn. I’m glad he’s a member of IslandHF.
