Like for many ham operators, POTA is a great way to practice our skills as radio operators. For me this is no exception.
I began working POTA as a hunter using remote HF stations through RHR. So my initial hunting was done primarialy from grids FN51 and FN54, but also a few contacts made from FN31 and EM73. Due the airtime costs I limited myself to FT8 digital mode which made for quicker contacts.
I have my HF rig (FT-991A) and have picked up hunting from my QTH,in grid EL98. I have also recently acquired a Bioenno LiFePO4 battery so I am no longer dependent on the Alinco 30A switching power supply and have begun activating parks. I operate with a couple of different vertical antennas that are portable and quick to set up. I still operate mostly digital (FT8 and FT4) while still doing some SSB.
