Ham Radio / Outdoor Comms

Radio at home, in the truck and out in the field.

This page focuses on the radio side of Chasing Campfires — with a clear outdoor and overland angle. It brings together the callsigns, station photos and equipment used for home operation, portable setup and mobile comms.

The ham page has intentionally been leaned more toward the outdoor / overland side of radio — showing how comms fits into the broader Chasing Campfires lifestyle rather than feeling like a separate brand.
