Important New Ham Radio Equipment

I’ve just added a new, critically important piece of equipment to my field operating kit for POTA:

fun-o-meter

Introducing the fun-o-meter, which is used to measure the fun that was had during any given POTA park activation. Going forward, I will use the fun-o-meter to measure how much fun I had, and include the reading in my activation report. This ensures that I am focused on the appropriate goal for my POTA efforts.
