New! Split Screen Project TouCans Video QSLs

 I've been casting about trying to find the format for Project TouCans video QSLs I liked the best, and I've finally got it! Today, in the Mt. Moriah BLM National Conservation Area, (US-9692), I learned how to do split screen while also recording the screen, and I'm kind of in love with the way these look! In one panel, you can see the controls for Project TouCans. Over the audio, you can hear the QSO and my commentary as I work. In the other panel, you can see the view out the front of back of the phone which is kinda gorgeous on Mt. Moriah! It's just like Project TouCans. It mixes really old tech—the rig—with brand new tech—split screen phones, html/JavaScript control panels, embedded controllers; the last two things at least partially built by an LLM at this point—and looks kinda awesome... to me, anyway! Here's the first QSL. It doesn't have the polish of the ones I make at home—the gang and I are camping near Great Basin National Park—but I love the format...

Video QSL Card that Explains as It Goes N4GO de KD0FNR at US-0575, San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park

 I haven't tried this before, but it was a lot of fun. On this video QSL, I explained what was going on with the rig, (Project TouCans), and the Morse code within the QSO with N4GO in words on the video as the QSO was in progress. New video style for N4GO de KD0FNR The map below is for the entire POTA activation. It shows RBN spots as 'glowing' lines this time and QSOs as solid lines, (like always.) You can click on any of the signal paths to get more inforatmion about it. You can click the play button on the lower lefthand control panel to animate the map so you can see the QSOs as they occurred. QSO/RBN  Map for the 2025-05-20 KD0FNR US-0757 POTA Activation
