QRP Beach Operations!


I've decided to bring the HF radio to the beach at Ocean City, Maryland. Thanks to decent propagation, I've worked many stations in the states and DX in Europe and Russia.

The Wilderness Radio Sierra is a good radio for operating on the beach. The rig is in the bag on my right and the antenna is a Hamstick mounted on the umbrella (the umbrella supports act as radials!).

The antenna makes a great flag pole (as long as the wind is not too strong)!!
