Becky had just built the K6ARK EFHW antenna, we tuned it and decided to see how it worked. What a better way than to do a POTA! It didn’t disappoint and even made it as far as Argentina. Becky also put together her new K6ARK key and used a paddle for the first time as an activator.

Don’t forget to check out our general RV travel channel too (link below)!

❓WHO ARE WE?
We're Michael & Becky, also known as N4FFF and N4BKY. We're an adventure couple who also loves CW (morse code) and radio stuff. We are both trying to get better at CW so having two of us there trying to copy really helps us figure most of it out! We love adventures and this is another way for us to get out there and have fun together.

If you catch one of us on the air most likely we are both at the ready. We like to hunt POTA's and each make contact so don't be surprised if you hear from us both.

Please email us or leave a comment if you watch along and make contact with us someday. We'd love to hear from you!

73,
Michael and Becky
N4FFF / N4BKY
