Today I take you along to a local wildlife management area to activate it as a POTA entity. POTA is one of my favorite operating styles in my radio hobby. I love using the small portable radios like the sBitx V3 by HF Signals that I used today as well as my other two main rigs I use. The Ten Tec Argonaut V and the Penntek TR-35 both have a permanent place in my operating ecosystem. I use my hamstick mount that I built for my truck hitch and run out a decent radial field and with all this and 20 watts of power... I was able to work a station in JAPAN!!! This is not all, I was also able to complete the activation as well as make over 2 dozen contacts in the time I had alloted.
What a great day! If you want to learn more about the HF Signals sBitx V3 just copy this link below and paste in into your browser. I will make it clickable once the channel is allowed to do so.
Thank you and hit the like button!!!

After rewatching the video I see that I made some simple transcription mistakes with the CW, I have 559 in one place and the report was actually 55N which means the same thing, but for people trying to practice copying code, this could lead to mistakes. I seem to have done this a couple of times so I am sorry about that, if I get the chance, I will edit the raw file and re-upload the video with the correct text.

@@HamRadioToday Excellent video. I was curious as to where you purchased your sBitx V3. Also, I concur with the previous comment. Please to a SSB demo with your sBitx V3. 73 de WA3RSL.

@@frankENZC I bought it directly from the HF Signals website. They are a little outfit in India and ship worldwide. The radio comes DHL which is kinda terrifying, but mine arrived in one piece so I am happy. SSB is in the que to be done now... Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for the interesting video. Question, why the image on the transceiver screen does not take up the whole screen ?

Because I had a GoPro style camera setup to watch the radio and I am not very good at camera angles and such🤷🏻‍♂️😬
