Here's a brief video of the homebrew cootie key I used for the August weekend sprint. It's made with various scraps and a feeler gauge.

Turn on CC for subtitles! For my first upload, here's a quick drive-by POTA activation of James Pate Philip State Park in Bartlett, IL on October 12, 2022.The rig is a Xiegu X6100 @ 5 watts using a 15 meter Hustler and a 20 meter Hamstick. I started with five contacts on 15 meters and moved to 20 meters for another 22 QSOs. The cootie is made from hardware, scrap materials, and a feeler gauge. It's fastened to a cup holder mount for my mobile CW adventures. There's a 15 minute gap in the middle. The activation was 40 minutes total. Shout out to K5FNQ, KQ4CQE,N0CW, K7EVM, VE3QDA, KS4S, NB5K, K4EES, KQ4CW, ND9M, AE5II, VE3DQN, AA5WZ, KD4O, K5PE, NP3V, and W4TRA, who all made it on the recording.
