Perfect Clear skies, 40% totality and great morning with coffee. Just a snapshot and will examine and process all my images and time lapse later this evening couldn’t find a tripod so used my tractor….the DwarfLab mini is incredible.

Field Day 2026 (Solo) from Fairbanks AK. The west coast KPH CW signal on 17MHz was absolutely awesome this Sunday morning. Beautiful to copy (for a change)

ARRL Field Day. I’m going solo this year….. just me and Mr. Potato Head. Operating 1E - full solar. Need AK ? I’ll be on most of the day + satellites (SO-50 & AO-7) seem to be best from BP64.

One of the coolest video I’ve ever taken. Mommy Grouse was protecting her newly hatched 6 chicks when I was ditching my driveway. I immediately stopped and left the area. (Sound up to hear her hiss)

Alaska Ham Radio: W9ANM will be conducting a DX expedition (Special QSL card) from the Yukon River - 7/27 to 8/5. Here’s tentative schedule. Pass it around…

Ham Radio: Something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. Ask Grok - (Design a ham radio horizontal multi band antenna that uses Liquid Metal ). Grok4 did a good job detailing physics, specifics, construction & costs. Gallium and micro controller for length control

KL7KC -Field Day - we got the antennas - but not the propagation. Look for our FM satellite operation on SO50 (around 2:30 utc). If you want to get Alaska

CQ Field Day - CQ Field Day - KL7KC. Bill is the master of multitask. Running SSB phone - helping mentor / answer questions and simultaneous watching the Ball game. Come get 4F Alaska !!

KL7KC is an active Ham Radio club located in Fairbanks Alaska. Remember - Field Day 2025 message is actively being sent - various modes and bands and both W1AW & K6KPH transmit. Bands are extremely noisy from Alaska - we’ll do our best. 73

Alaska Ham Radio: QRP in Alaska is difficult at best. Im going to be backpacking (100+mi) into remote areas this summer for geology work. Need suggestions for inexpensive /light wt transceiver. One way trip for gear. I’m more concerned with food and equip weight.

I caught the Alaska Poker fFat rocket launch. Think this was #3. From 3.5 mile CHSR. Clearly hear the engines ignite. Roar…. Flipped the HF radio on to potentially hear any difference in signal on 20m. Nada.. large diffusion release of ?? (Maybe barium).

Rural Life in the Hills of Fairbanks: Bird Whispering. Hit my Jeep window and was laying on the ground. Very dazed but after 20 minutes of sitting in my hand - he finally got better and flew off to join his friends.

Ham Radio: So…. ARRL paid $1 million dollars (via insurance) in ransom to the “TA” hackers who broke into their system. An interesting read in the new membership email regarding their system issues.

Rural Life in the Hills of Fairbanks:: and especially Fairbanks PSA. I SAW STARS last night (2am) for the first time in 3 months. Aurora filling the skies are just around the corner.

Rural Life in the Hills of Fairbanks: Squirrel whispering ….

Ham Radio: KL7KC - the Fairbanks Radio Club / Arctic Amateur Radio Club is now POTA active with renewed interest from membership. First park activated….

Alaska Ham Radio: 6m open to Alaska. SFI is at 276. OMG

Ham Radio: A big shout out to KL2R (Leon / N1TX) for inviting me to participate in the IARU HF World Championship contest. What fun and it helped sharper my DX skills. Lots of HQ DX stations on & propagation was pretty good from Alaska.
