FT8 on 20 meters.
I mainly operate FT8 on the 20-meter band. It’s the heart of my operating and a big part of what I enjoy about amateur radio.
MICHAEL / MY LIFE ON THE AIR
SMALL POWER.

POSSIBILITIES.
I’m Michael. Amateur radio is my kind of adventure.
I mainly operate FT8 on 20 meters at QRP power, and I like POTA — Parks on the Air.

01 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
MY KIND OF RADIO.
Low power, digital signals, and a love of getting radio outdoors. Here’s what draws me to the hobby.
The QRP approach.
I operate at QRP power. For me, the appeal is seeing what a small signal can do — a little power brings plenty of possibility.
Parks on the Air.
I like POTA — Parks on the Air. It brings together two great things: amateur radio and time outdoors.
