Summits on the Air CW Exchanges Explained

The great Mountaineer Mark Twight said “it doesn’t have to be fun to be fun” (K6ARK put me on to that quote). Portable ops in the snow presents many challenges but that’s why we do it isn’t it? The fun is in the challenge.
Watch as I hike to the top of Beacon Hill in 18-24 inches of snow. The temperature starting out was 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Once on top, I talk about the Morse code exchanges for Summits on the Air. I hope you enjoy the adventure!
