Can You Really Make 100+ QSOs in Bad Conditions? |

Band conditions weren’t doing us any favours. Still, I decided to head out anyway for a Parks On The Air (POTA) and World Wide Flora & Fauna (WWFF) activation at Balsam Lake Provincial Park (CA‑0145 / VEFF‑0145) in Ontario, Canada. It was the August Long Weekend, so the park was buzzing with campers and families, but I managed to find a quiet corner to set up my portable ham radio station with a Buddipole antenna. Propagation was rough, signals were fading, and the noise floor was high—almost everything you don’t want during an activation. Even so, with some patience and persistence, I was able to log over 100 QSOs across both SSB and digital modes. This activation was a great reminder that you don’t always need perfect conditions to make contacts—you need to get on the air and make the most of it. 👉 In this video, you’ll see: My portable ham radio setup for POTA + WWFF How the Buddipole performed in the field Tips for operating when band conditions are poor The experience of running a POTA activation in Ontario during a busy holiday weekend If you’re into ham radio portable operations, POTA adventures, or enjoy seeing how others tackle harsh conditions, I think you’ll enjoy this one. 📡 Follow along for more POTA + WWFF content: 🔗 Parks On The Air: https://parksontheair.com 🔗 World Wide Flora & Fauna: https://wwff.co Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy these kinds of ham radio adventures! #POTA #WWFF #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #BalsamLake #OntarioParks #PortableRadio #Buddipole #QSOs #ParksOnTheAir
