Towers had to be installed several hundrend feet from the home, which meant digging and pouring concrete by hand—no machinery, no shortcuts. Looking back 15 years later, at the age of 45, Ray W2RE was fit, strong, and relentless. At the time, it barely registered as a challenge. But today? He laughs and admits he would have built a proper road to the towers first. Some lessons, it seems, only come with time—and a little extra sweat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/0f0c8091-11fa-468c-8b69-f18b7894caea/Screenshot+2025-09-12+at+6.56.02%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Breaking Barriers in Ham Radio: The W2/Summit Station Story - Make it stand out The most beautiful place on Earth!

Perched at the very top of a ridge, with a private road winding up to the site and literally no neighbors for miles, W2/Summit is the definition of a dream Ham Radio QTH. Locations like this are rare; it took years of searching to find a spot with the perfect combination of elevation, low noise, and unobstructed views. Once discovered, the potential is extraordinary. From this ridge, antennas rise into the sky, capturing signals that would be impossible from a standard home QTH. DX contacts travel farther, propagation is cleaner, and operating from this remote Ham Radio superstation is an experience unlike any other. It’s a location that proves the power of combining Ham Radio passion with real estate strategy: owning prime RF real estate lets you maximize performance, create a legacy station, and even open opportunities for remote operation. For those who stumble across a site like this, the rewards are endless—and once you’ve operated from the summit, you’ll understand why some say it’s the ultimate mountaintop Ham Radio QTH. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/a447b4a9-973a-4b50-8ed1-8bafa564e8a4/IMG_5611.jpg Blog - Breaking Barriers in Ham Radio: The W2/Summit Station Story - Make it stand out 50 × 50’ tent for the wedding! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/a5e6efb7-979a-4e30-8ba1-7b6e2ed9e029/winter.jpg Blog - Breaking Barriers in Ham Radio: The W2/Summit Station Story - Make it stand out Check out this mountaintop QTH from the top!

Standing at an impressive 180 feet, this rotating tower carries an extraordinary 96-element antenna array—one of the largest systems you can install in amateur radio. This powerhouse setup covers multiple bands, including 10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters, 40 meters, and 6 meters, delivering world-class performance for contesting and DXing. And that’s just one structure—this station features a total of five radio towers, making it one of the most capable ham radio sites in the region. A system of this scale is far beyond what most operators will ever need, but it highlights how careful planning, engineering, and investment can take a ham radio station from modest to truly world-class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/0fb05386-1ae2-4fe1-be10-1048f4067285/Screenshot+2025-09-08+at+7.31.47%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - How Much Does It Really Cost to Own a Ham Radio Tower? - Make it stand out A Tubular Crank-Up Tower One example from the author’s experience is a tubular crank-up tower equipped with GXP antennas, installed alongside fellow ham Bobby KC2UPN. This type of tower provides the flexibility to raise and lower antennas safely for maintenance or upgrades, making it ideal for high-performance HF operations. However, building and maintaining a structure of this scale is quite expensive. Between the tower itself, the antennas, rotators, and ongoing upkeep, costs can add up quickly. This example highlights the level of investment required for serious amateur radio operators who want reliable, long-term performance and the ability to operate at the highest level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/db69f085-1008-4a83-b3ef-d215e9453f1b/Screenshot+2025-09-08+at+7.37.40%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - How Much Does It Really Cost to Own a Ham Radio Tower? Bracketed Lattice Towers: Compact and Reliable Ham Radio Solutions For hams with limited space or who prefer a minimal-footprint installation, house-bracketed lattice towers are a popular choice. Models like the Rohn 25G and 45G offer a sturdy, guy-free solution that mounts directly to a building. Key features include: No Guys Needed – These towers don’t require additional guy wires, making them ideal for smaller properties. Height Above Bracket – The 25G extends up to 10-20 feet above the bracket, while the 45G can reach 20-30 feet, providing good elevation for HF antennas. Bracket Installation – Brackets should be mounted at least 12 feet above a concrete base and can be either bolted through or lagged for secure attachment. Antenna Capacity – Suitable for most average tri-band beams, but not recommended for large antennas or stacked arrays. Bracketed lattice towers are an excellent option for operators seeking a compact, reliable ham radio antenna tower that delivers good performance without the complexity or cost of larger structures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/98decfbe-37c1-4c61-a931-47eec8444a6a/Screenshot+2025-09-08+at+7.49.12%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - How Much Does It Really Cost to Own a Ham Radio Tower? - Make it stand out Rebar and formed base above grade!

For this project, we specifically formed the hole with a rebar cage—it’s designed to support a rotating tower base. While some situations call for forming the base, most of the time it’s best to pour directly against undisturbed soil. Always start with at least a 6" gravel bed and make sure to build a strong rebar cage for maximum stability. https://www.hamradio247.com/blog/playing-ham-radio-at-the-top-my-journey-to-becoming-w2re monthly 0.5 2025-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/91c53820-9607-4aee-9754-dd276938532b/Screenshot+2025-09-07+at+8.26.00%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE - Make it stand out Ray W2RE in front of the Hudson Valley Towers Trailer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757249067874-3ZFHJXGNKLNA9IO3D47W/DSC_0726.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757249097408-HXT830SD13B4007VGZ37/DSC_0755.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757249143428-SOO6B0MBJ70QA5M5H35Q/DSC_0908.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757249204730-2OHD716U98R23LQK125I/DSC_0001.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757249218158-0QM6OGZJY5OVCLNLUL41/DSC_0002.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/f6d4c105-26a5-4566-8b3b-47a1ae6e4a4d/DSC_0263.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE - Make it stand out Lori KB2HZI watching WW2DX operate WPX contest in 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1cdfbbe7-151f-439c-b760-0c3b191f7593/bunker+%281%29.jpg Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE - Make it stand out This is W2/Summit - World renown QTH in Amateur Radio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757251020182-WOHE3LNHA8CAQXHIGMG9/DSC_4096.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757251034271-7NKX5EDPRXK59B4ZTTGU/DSC_4098.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757251051137-69AP9OR2MK7UDBZENJJN/DSC_4121+%281%29.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757251131480-5WQULPCESHUMC2KA6NLE/DSC_4103+%281%29.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757251156087-Y17ZBHFS9KNDBFB105M2/DSC_0248.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1757251173088-YG8SI9XZCOQB282UZIN2/DSC_0123.JPG Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/b98cbe70-038f-4fb8-882c-18f4f42a8118/Screen-Shot-2018-02-12-at-11.41.04-AM-1.png Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE W2/Summit QTH with Ray W2RE on tower - photo taken in 2012! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1087be88-0265-42fd-9034-595beda263cf/RHR-250px+%282%29.png Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/d6534890-ff38-4d43-a45a-5aa769540d4e/pep+%281%29.jpg Blog - Playing Ham Radio at the Top: My Journey to Becoming W2RE - My last day working for Pepsi, I took a photo of my truck for memories.

His very first antenna installation using the launcher was a success! He was kind enough to share his feedback with us in his own words, and I couldn’t resist passing it along. “I used my new DX launcher to put up wire antennas from my new remote station in Charlestown, RI. The launcher worked perfectly. First shot at 55 psi , got the line over a nice branch at 90 ft. Also, the tennis balls are weighted just right so they come down to the ground very nicely. You can adjust the launch power for distance / height above ground by experimenting with psi pressure. Aiming about 10-15 above desired target works good depending upon how far away you are and how many feet above ground your going for. This is the best launcher I have used. Bonus is you reel the launch line back in using drill attachment. I really had fun this weekend launching lines. It was a real pleasure using such a well designed and constructed launcher such as this. Thank You! Dan de WA1QZX.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1312a389-ce9c-4a9d-ae7d-b85562286c1a/Screenshot+2025-09-05+at+7.37.46%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - DX Launcher: The Must-Have Tool for Every Ham Radio Operator - Make it stand out And here is DX Launcher S/N 001 being presented to miniCTU door prize winner K3WJX Photo courtesy of Doug Grant K1DG #hamradio #dxlauncher #mini https://www.hamradio247.com/blog/ham-radio-isnt-just-for-fat-guys-in-basements monthly 0.5 2025-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/b8a3fb6d-e6a6-46e7-8485-f2d2245170ac/Screenshot+2025-05-27+at+6.29.40%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Ham Radio Isn’t Just for Fat Guys in Basements - My Gym is in the Basement—Not Just My Radio Shack A lot of hams spend hours in their basements, but I’d bet most aren’t squatting a barbell down there. Mine’s different. Right next to the radio gear is a fully functional gym. Free weights. Pull-up bar. Rack. Bench. The essentials. It’s where I train during the tower off-season—because when I’m not climbing, I’m lifting. I’m 59 years old. I may not have the explosive power I had in my 30s, but I’m strong, mobile, and healthy. I can still climb towers and haul gear like it’s nothing. Let me be clear: I didn’t take a magic pill. I’m not on any pill. No statins. No blood pressure meds. No diabetes meds. I was on that path, but I stopped it cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/83ffc2fc-00f9-44ec-b9ba-ab6b2f9184e9/Screenshot+2025-05-27+at+6.17.08%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Ham Radio Isn’t Just for Fat Guys in Basements - Make it stand out caught a post floating around on Facebook the other day.

At 59 years old, I’m not slowing down. I’m strong. I’m healthy. I’ve got real muscle on my frame, and it’s not just for show. Muscle mass is the #1 overlooked key to longevity. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about staying alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/2b6bc109-2f59-4c08-8b06-dea0afd78f48/Screenshot+2025-05-27+at+6.55.00%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Ham Radio Isn’t Just for Fat Guys in Basements Breaking the Fast—With Sardines (Yeah, Seriously) When I break my fast, I keep it simple—and I keep it smart. If I’m home, I’ll crack open a can of sardines. Yeah, those little fish that most people won’t touch. But let me tell you—they’re a powerhouse. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and zero garbage ingredients. My favorite? King Oscar sardines in olive oil with jalapeños. Spicy, clean, and straight fuel for the body. No carbs, no blood sugar spike—just pure nutrition. Don’t like sardines? That’s fine. Any solid protein source will do—eggs, tuna, leftover steak, grilled chicken, whatever works. But stop thinking you need something fancy. You don’t. You just need real food. You’re not a kid anymore. You don’t need pancakes with syrup to start the day. You need strength. You need focus. And you need to fuel your body like you actually want it to last. This isn’t about dieting—it’s about eating with purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/2f02eec9-a756-45f1-a308-28768e37f2c2/Screenshot+2025-05-27+at+7.18.39%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Ham Radio Isn’t Just for Fat Guys in Basements - Legs: The Foundation of Everything Now let’s talk legs. Your legs are your base. They carry you through life, every step, every lift, every moment of movement. Strong legs aren’t just about squats and deadlifts—they’re about building a foundation that supports everything else: strength, balance, posture, and even heart health. A solid leg workout isn’t optional—it’s essential. So the next time leg day rolls around, don’t skip it. Embrace it. Respect the foundation. These Are My Legs at 59 — Soon to Be 60! Chiseled like stone. This isn’t luck, its not genes—it’s work, consistency, and never making excuses. These legs are why I can still climb, hike, move, and keep up with people half my age. Age is just a number when your foundation is strong. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s too late to build strength. It’s never too late to start. Respect your body. Train your legs. They’ll carry you farther than you think. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/0c103952-d400-45a9-9a72-8faae142b58f/Screenshot+2025-05-27+at+7.36.32%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Ham Radio Isn’t Just for Fat Guys in Basements - SweatCoin App Track Your Steps — Your Future Self Will Thank You I use an app called Sweatcoin—it turns my steps into cryptocurrency. That’s right, I literally earn while I walk. Here's a snapshot of my past 8 days using the app. If you notice, I hit 10,075 steps today. Why? Because at 5:30 AM, while most people are still asleep, I’m out there walking. It’s part of who I am now. Walking isn’t just about fitness. It’s what keeps me off medication. It sharpens my brain. It gives me clarity. Honestly, it’s become such a habit that I sometimes drive my wife crazy—walking around the house late at night just to hit that 10K mark. Yeah, it’s an obsession… but one I’ll never apologize for. Here’s the truth: Start walking 10,000 steps a day, and your body will thank you. Your mind will thank you. Your doctor might even be shocked. Get obsessed with movement. You’ve got everything to gain—literally. Ever wonder why you see people walking in your neighborhood every single day? They know the secret. And now, so do you. It’s right in front of you. Get started. Stay consistent. And watch your health transform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/b01b8610-5e1b-4fb8-a943-2e94ffe389af/Screenshot+2025-05-27+at+7.49.10%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Ham Radio Isn’t Just for Fat Guys in Basements - Poland Spring Water Stay Hydrated — It’s Non-Negotiable We don’t just drink any water—we get high-quality water delivered, just like our meat and fish.

But here’s the twist... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/d67fb9d3-969f-4b92-9b78-3035a474d91d/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.04.47%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install - Make it stand out Ray W2RE and Corliss AL1G with Lori KB2HZI in the background! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/3284b6dd-ffa6-4dd4-bffb-0d87a6ab68ce/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.20.10%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install - First Move! ⚡️ Down Comes the TH3 — Safety First! Before we could raise the new GXP 5B-3L, we had one big job to tackle: taking down the old HyGain TH3. Luckily, it wasn’t too difficult—but we weren’t taking any chances. ‍♂️ The biggest concern? The power lines running dangerously close to the corner of the house. One slip, one wrong move… and we’d be in serious trouble. ⚠️⚡️ So we played it smart. Threw a huge, thick blanket over the lines—just in case anything went sideways. We weren’t about to let a rogue boom or loose element turn this into a shocking experience. It’s always about respecting the hazards and having a plan. With the TH3 safely down, the stage is now set for the GXP build to take center stage! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748021235937-LP1D6EGRERPXH9AAQ9M2/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.27.01%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748021290087-YRI7TQBQN0C1NVEI9VEW/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.27.36%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748021337503-2AO3RSRHR8X9N77OFXIT/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.28.20%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748021361812-WQAHNJH363IP2UPLFMWB/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.28.42%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748021403496-79RGJTRW9DLJHQZVX3MW/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.29.06%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/0231b208-0743-46ab-8e17-1c3589dd5c83/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.41.03%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install - Make it stand out Perfect timing with plane fying by! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/41a7d9ad-ce76-4a42-a192-340912cec3cc/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.52.21%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install - Make it stand out Ray W2RE in front of AL1G’s new GXP 3B-5L https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748023121981-Y20KBCFJ9OLYPJFBZTWE/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.58.31%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748023178453-NEA6CUFG0PMG8C68R0I6/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.58.59%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748023198125-Y7L9UD3OIXN0A09MVUM7/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+1.59.43%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1748023231195-5728EFP0E0E9M66NY7RZ/Screenshot+2025-05-23+at+2.00.21%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ham radio In Alaska: The AL1G Install https://www.hamradio247.com/blog/pkksz7xa8t0rsvzbks9jlz52btv4e4 monthly 0.5 2025-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/e79105fb-e43d-47a4-bc57-40976bf2aae5/Screenshot+2025-05-21+at+4.48.02%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install - The Iconic Orange Tubes And just like that—it began. After the GXP arrived in its iconic orange tube and box, we hit the ground running. On April 28th, the build for the W1HQ GXP 30/40 was officially underway, leading up to a May 6th install. Now here’s the twist… I had to keep it under wraps. If word got out that we were heading to ARRL HQ, it would've turned into a full-on spectacle—and the last thing we needed was hundreds of hams watching us work! Sometimes, stealth mode is the only way to get it done right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/ae4e38c4-5e41-46f6-bea5-383dbb44d956/Screenshot+2025-05-21+at+4.46.24%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install - Here it is—the GXP 30/40 coming to life right here in New York. ️ What many don’t realize is… we build these in-house—every bracket, every bolt. Then we break it all down to fit snugly into our 16-foot trailer for transport. The material from GXP? Next level. Take a close look at the photo—those element-to-boom brackets are seriously well engineered. And that vertical pipe? It’s the strut for the 40M element, locking everything into place with rock-solid stability. We don’t just install—we build with purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/d198e0d1-cca0-47c8-911c-2d3d45efb16b/Screenshot+2025-05-21+at+4.54.07%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install - Antennas loaded. Rigging gear packed. We’re officially ready to roll—80 miles to Newington, CT, where the next stop is ARRL Headquarters—the mecca of Ham Radio, where the heart of the hobby beats loud and clear. In the back? Our 16-foot trailer, loaded with the GXP 30/40 and everything we need to get the job done right. We've been transporting antennas like this for over a decade—from W1/Jonesport to countless MEGA sites—this trailer has seen it all. But this isn’t just another job—it’s ARRL, and we’re here to do it professionally, safely, and on time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/e65b1639-aa80-4805-a248-830eaa2f90fd/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+7.41.20%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install - 6AM on May 13th! Lets roll! And just like that, May 13th was here. Bobby and I departed New York, while Nik hit the road from New Hampshire at 5:00 AM, all converging at ARRL Headquarters by 8:00 AM. The mission: to erect the GXP 30/40 atop the W1HQ tower—a precision install at the heart of amateur radio. A coordinated effort, a tight schedule, and a shared commitment to doing it right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/746fa351-57ee-469f-bf63-2d71da829703/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+7.56.09%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install - Our Staging Area at ARRL Here’s our staging area—HVT trailer in position, and the GXP 30/40 fully built and ready to go. You’ll notice we’re working right on the blacktop... and let me tell you, if we had to build this from scratch here? It would’ve been a full day of sweating it out on the asphalt. ☀️ Luckily, we came prepared. The entire setup was pre-built, precision-packed, and ready for action—saving us time, sweat, and a whole lot of gatorade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/284bc537-c017-480c-b8e5-cf972fd695d1/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+8.07.13%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install Greg the ARRL Photographer Funny thing about working at ARRL HQ— you'd think with a building full of hams, we’d draw a crowd while rigging gear and setting up the GXP 30/40 on the rooftop. But nope—just a handful ventured out to see what the “crazy guys” were doing out there. Joe NJ1Q checked in with us early on—always a pro—but he was swamped hosting W1AW guests. It’s a packed week at HQ, especially with Dayton Hamvention right around the corner. Just the day before, he had a crew visiting all the way from Brazil. But one standout visitor? Greg, the new media photographer for ARRL. Super friendly, great energy, and awesome to chat with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1747916407229-92MFENBRVPGIJXXJR4LH/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+8.19.56%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1747916431438-4LGAYB9DJFSA3HT1T6MX/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+8.20.22%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/1747916489398-8FI2R8GDA6N98X9YPQSV/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+8.20.58%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/592ac0ae-9555-427a-afaf-f41581b5e135/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+9.10.04%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install - Photo with Joe NQ1J ️ On the Rooftop with a Legend Up on the roof with Joe NQ1J, station manager of W1AW and a true fixture at the ARRL for over three decades. Joe’s not just a seasoned pro—he’s also one of the kindest and most down-to-earth guys you’ll meet in this hobby. Throughout this project, Joe was my go-to. He gave us the space to do what we do best, trusted the process, and made sure everything stayed on track. That kind of support makes a huge difference. And when the install was complete, before anything got hooked to the switch—you’ll notice the SWR analyzer in my hand—we swept the antennas to make sure everything was great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/b58f26f3-6c3f-40b4-987e-63427d5ae65b/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+9.27.12%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Story Behind THE ARRL W1HQ Install - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.hamradio247.com/blog/how-the-snowball-effect-transformed-hamradio-247 monthly 0.5 2025-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680676cb84b3fc4b7131d424/87ffe990-6ba6-4359-9506-bf53a42c5550/Screenshot+2025-05-20+at+7.19.17%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - W2RE Ham Radio: Remote Stations, Tower Engineering, and the Future of DXing & Contesting - Make it stand out W2RE: Building the Future of Ham Radio Ham radio is evolving, and few operators embody that evolution like W2RE.
