POTA is what made me get more into CW. I'm not 100% CW and I do POTA activation videos on YouTube (when I remember to bring my GoPro with me on trips).

I typically use an Elecraft KX2 and Chelegance MC-750 vertical (and you'd be hard pressed to get me to switch to another antenna. Sure, an EFHW packs up small, but getting it up in a tree requires more time/effort/kit)

I've also activated with a truSDX, QMX, and MTR3b. Behind my KX2, the QMX is a great little CW radio. The truSDX is alright, but the QMX is superior.

I'm a pretty new ham, and only doing CW. To practice my CW I try to hunt at least a couple POTA activators a day. I'm (very) slowly starting to feel ready to start activating.

I have my POTA kit ready for when I am. A QMX with an EFHW. I'm not looking forward to throwing it in a tree though, so I'm also looking at verticals. The QMX is awesome. At home I have a G90 and a Ten-Tec Corsair.

Curious to see your activation videos. What's your channel?
