2025 California QSO Party (CQP P2R) CW_Only Los Padres National Forest 1 of 1

I carried my station into US-0639 Los Padres National Forest, where the trees became my shack walls and the ground my operating desk. This is contesting stripped down: 100 watts, an Icom IC-7300, a vertical dipole raised in the dirt, a 180-watt foldable solar panel feeding a 20Ah LiFePo battery. No comfort of the shack. No backup grid. Just raw power, light gear, and the determination to make code sing in the wild. Setup wasn’t just about throwing wires in the air. It was about building a system that could hold steady under contest pressure. Solar in, battery steady, rig clean, antenna tuned — every piece mattered. That’s what makes this different. Radiosport in the wilderness isn’t only about logging QSOs; it’s about fieldcraft, adaptation, and grit. This video takes you inside my operating system overview — my first narration, breaking down how I kept the signal alive from dawn to dark. 📡 This is P2R: Parks-to-Radiosport. Contesting reborn in the field. Radiosport doesn’t have to stay indoors — it belongs in the wild. 👉 Subscribe and join the movement. P2R is just beginning.
