Travis and Joe challenge me at the Flambeau River State Forest, WI POTA K-4349 to a homebrew antenna contest. Will we make amazing contacts or will our radiators fail spectacularly? Either way, hijinks will ensue.

Michael’s Awesome Chili Seasoning:
(makes 4 quarts of chili)
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp brown sugar
3-4 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp cumin
heavy dash cayenne or chipotle powder
salt and pepper to taste
