Alaska POTA Expedition at -16 degrees: Ham Radio
Sean (KL5NE) Doug (KL7DUG) and myself drove north and rode snow machines out to a never activated park, Minto Flats K-9700. We camped there over the weekend in -16 degree weather. The first day was a little slow but made up for it the next morning. Follow along on our journey! Thanks for watching, 73

Thanks for activating!!! I tried for what seemed like hours to get you in the log. I was operating portable here in Oklahoma. I only had 20 watts and the pileup was massive. I need Alaska but it's so rare. Glad you two got out and activated! I hope to hear you again!

I have enjoyed all of your videos. Made it to Alaska in 1986 & 1987 flying into Anchorage on USAF KC-135's and hope to go back one more time with my XYL'. On the second trip I rode the Alaska RR to Fairbanks and back to visit friends at Eielson AFB. Keep up posting these great videos. Gary - N1PZB

Love it, Jeramy! Especially the authentic Alaska stuff. You might throw in some time stamps when it’s twilight in the middle of the day. That would add more Alaska flavor. Otherwise us normies might just assume it’s evening. Can’t wait to see what else you’re doing!
