Umesh KK6TXI visits the Sofa to share his expertise in custom batteries for portable ham radio, including QRO SOTA and a mountaintop Field Day! We catch up (finally) with stories from the W7O and W6 SOTA campouts, and Mark waxes poetic about an activation that went oh-so-wrong.Patreon: Want to help us fly SOTA icons out for in-person interviews, and support our audio upgrades? We believe strongly that in-person chats are more fun!https://www.patreon.com/c/SofasOnTheAirSHOW NOTESDrink tastings: G4 Tequila Blanco High Proof 108, G4 Tequila ReposadoThe NR7Y Hardware Mod: https://youtu.be/zi35aTjEppQ N6ARA Electronics - the TinyPaddle, and more! https://n6ara.com/KK6TXI's Battery Field Test - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBzJ3BqniDEChapters0:00 Hi Umesh!3:36 Tequila Tasting9:02 Batteries!01:11:28 Mark's W7O Campout01:24:38 Ara's W6 Campout01:30:11 SOTA Car-tastrophe01:52:54 Thanks to our Patreon supporters!THANKS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSUmesh KK6TXI - studio space and intro/outro musicDi KO6BTM - audio engineeringNote: Amazon links are affiliate links
