To everyone in the comments saying, "I don't care—I have nothing to hide."

Great. Unlock your phone and hand it to me.

I'm going to scroll through your photos, read your text messages, check your search history, look at your banking apps, browse your email, and do it all with a camera recording the entire process.

Still comfortable?

Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's about having something that's yours.

Maybe I should brush my hair before turning on the camera....

Apparently, my hair and I had different plans for this trip.

I got up, brushed my hair with what I'm pretty sure was a pinecone, loaded up the radio gear, and headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway for a Parks On The Air (POTA) activation on one of the hottest days of the year.

Somewhere between the mountain views, the heat, and trying to make contacts, I gave up worrying about my hairstyle and focused on the radio.

If you're here for perfect hair, you've come to the wrong channel.

If you're here for portable ham radio, mountain scenery, and a good adventure, welcome aboard.

73, and thanks for watching!

I spent all morning brushing my hair before I went out to play radio.

I headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway to complete a Parks On The Air (POTA) activation—but I picked one of the hottest days of the year to do it.

In this video, I set up my amateur radio station, battle the heat, make contacts from one of America's most scenic roads, and share what it's really like operating portable under extreme summer conditions.

Whether you're into POTA, ham radio, portable operations, HF radio, QRP, or simply enjoy outdoor adventures in the North Carolina mountains, I hope you enjoy coming along.
