Info

Adventures in the Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) hobby with Rob, W1RCP.

I feature a mix of POTA (Parks on the Air) activations, POTA hunting, playing ham radio, ham radio projects, and learning/practicing CW (Morse Code). Occasionally I include projects that are not exactly related to ham radio because I love to tinker. Raspberry Pi, computing, and electronics projects are some of my favorite time wasters.

I like making my own music. Most of the music featured in my videos are originals. Especially the goofy stuff.
