I Activated the Welland Canal on POTA, and You Won't Believe What Happened

[@paulKJ5GKK]

Great content again! I don't yet have an ATAS 120, but I will. During every activation I do, almost every mobile operator who breaks through my pileups is running the FT891 with an ATAS 120. Great system. Keep em coming Stuart. 73

The ATAS is a good antenna, good supplement for those tight spots. I would still rather run my EFHW at a halfwave length above the ground.

I have no idea what I just watched but it was interesting. 10/10 👍

[@outnaboot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TravelinHam]

Gotta get me one of those antennas!!!

[@outnaboot]

I love it for those tight activations where I can't put up my BB7V and EFHW

[@MikeN2MAK]

Last year I went to activate a 3fer but found out is was a 4fer when talking to one of the park rangers. Fortunately it was before I setup so I was able to stay close to the bonus trail I wasn't expecting.

[@outnaboot]

Thanks, actually now, I am only going to activate a single park, even if it is a 2fer or 3fer...that is one thing I like about WWFF, not 2FERs etc

What rig are you running in the car, and is it on a separate battery? Enjoyed the video!

[@outnaboot]

FT891 with a seperate 50ah Eco-Worthy battery

[@refurb67]

Stuart when were you actually there? Is this current Dec?

[@outnaboot]

This was in the first week of September 2024

[@jerryKB2GCG]

Are you running VOX, hand switch, foot switch, something else ?

[@outnaboot]

Always run VOX in the truck, hand switch when outside

[@ncoldmanoverland]

You said you are running VOX? Can you do a video or post your VOX FT-891 settings? I have my FTDX10 dialed in, the 891 is being difficult.

[@outnaboot]

Thanks for your interest! I’ll definitely consider making a video about my VOX FT-891 settings. Stay tuned!
