I’ve updated my WTH card, a card that I can give out to folks when I’m doing a POTA or lighthouse activation that tells them what the heck I’m doing.
What do you think? One thing that I’m having trouble with is getting the black-and-white photo to look good. I started with a 300 ppi color image, but I must have done something bad in turning it into a b/w image. Any ideas would be appreciated.
A couple of day ago, Steve, WG0AT, who is a big Summits on the Air enthusiast, tweeted:
Yesterday we had lots of tourist-hiker visitors wandering by wondering What the Heck we were doing? So I passed out a few of my WTHcards (inspired by Stuart/KB1HQS)
Stuart, KB1HQS, referred to above is a big Parks on the Air guy, and the author of Portable Operating for the Radio Amateur. Here’s his card:
Both of these are great cards. I don’t have my own card, like these two, but I’ll often print up a flyer to hand out when I’m operating portable. Here’s the flyer that I passed out last year when I activated the Pointe aux Barques lighthouse:
In retrospect, I see that I should have included more contact information.
In any event, these are great things to have when operating portable. You never know who might get interested in the hobby. Heck, they may even end up as good friends.
