Amateur Radio and RVing

[@HamRadio2]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I am attending the RV Radio Network rally starting tomorrow, and was looking for some videos about it - yours came up with a few others. I hope to catch up with you at Hamvention some day. 73 de KC5HWB

Stumbled upon this video while researched RV awnings! I’ve long remembered with appreciation the ham radio operators who in 1974 patched calls between Egypt, where I was stationed as one of a thousand Canadian soldiers on UN peacekeeping duty, back to our families at bases all across the country. Without those patches we wouldn’t have had the close contact with our families that was so important to our morale. Those ham radio operators were special people.

Thank you for sharing that story, it really highlights the amazing value of ham radio!

[@askmisspatience]

I was a MARS station operator state side and overseas. Military Affiliate Radio Station. It was such a joy to help people contact loved ones. Pretty cool you were a recipient 😊

[@geod3589]

Every ham should attend the Dayton hamfest at least once in their life.

Thanks for showing a great example of a life long hobby N9YYD

[@voxpopuli1121]

Mike, you may have already done this in a previous video - but can you list the equipment you use while on the road?

[@roadie6153]

Terrific video, thx! 73, W6DMM.

We have been camping at the Dayton KOA each year for Hamvention and I have my HF and 2m/440 installed in camper plus a go box with Buddistick Pro. Hope to see you this year! 73 KB8DXN

Great video Mike! I'm getting ready to move into an RV soon and amateur radio is going to be a part of it. I looked you up on QRZ and saw that you are from Kalamazoo Michigan. I have family in Portage and friends in Kalamazoo. I just attended the Crossroads Hamfest in Kzoo recently. I talk to a lot of guys in Michigan, maybe we have made contact in the past. 73 Jim K9KXW

For portable, I use a Yaesu FT891, telescoping pole in a flagpole holder in a receiver hitch. 10-40 EFHW. (I do have a throw weight/line.) Very cool stuff. thanks for sharing Mike!

I have not ventured into the CW world. Yet. LOL KM8RTY

[@photoguy73]

Great video! Where did you get that cool slingshot antenna launcher?

[@rv2heaven877]

Great work, from N3UEZ

[@a.j.pawlowski156]

Great Vid Mike. I operate a lot of POTA while dragging my 6x10 Cargo Trailer Conversion around the country. Great fun.. 73 de KB7KZ.... A.J.

[@voxpopuli1121]

Great video Mike! I’ve been thinking of getting involved in mobile - but didn’t have a clue! Plus, I NOW have yet ANOTHER excuse for the XYL for MORE radios/equipment!

[@WG7D]

Comment ..Good over view of the RV ham radio hobby..73,WG7D.

[@CampingwithRadios_kg6dve]

As a Net Controller for the Pacific Section of the International RV Service Net, I highly suggest having access to Ham Radio as you travel in your RV. Personally, I don't rely on QRP.

[@jpelzel]

Mike AWESOME Video ( as usual !! ) ... I'm fixing up my shack and "NEED" one of those callsign "tents" for my microphone .. where did you pick yours up ? Love the style .. Thanks for all you guys do .. we are RVers as well and am slowly transitioning my shack to being more POTA, SOTA based .. but your insights continue to be so informative !!

[@jrzphoto]

Great video Mike! My license expired years ago (N6RAE) but I need to take the test again, and set up my RV shack!! 73s!

[@miketomas8564]

Thanks Mike! Like you, I've been interested in Ham Radio since I was a kid, but have never bothered to take the tests. I'm in the Broadcasting field as a Satellite Uplink Engineer transmitting National football games and breaking news all around the world. I'm looking forward to my Part Time RV days and Ham Radio might become part of it. I've got plenty of experience with RF, Encoders and modulators that I could adapt and apply to this retirement hobby. Thanks for sharing that there is a specific group of Hams out there for the RV enthusiast.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

[@williambingham2459]

Thanks for a very clear example of our hobby while camping. Do so myself. KJ4BAD

[@davidhart4789]

Great video. Very informative to me, so when my son finishes using my RV in a few months, I’m going to get everything I need together and take it with me when I’m on the road. 73’s from N8SV in WV.

[@followinghim5194]

Where did you get that Telescoping antenna pole? and Antena wire ?

[@without_bounds]

in the beginning of the video, whats the name and model of the tripod?

[@rv2heaven877]

I would like very much to see how you set up your Ham Radio on the road and I would like to copy that in my RV. I would love to hear from you at your earliest convenience 73 Mike N3UEZ

[@billfries4513]

73 OM Nice introduction! de NA8M

[@ralphprice5136]

Great video, Mike! I think I’d like to get into Ham. Is it a difficult process?

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

I am currently in West Yellowstone .... hoping to find a ham in the area to help me figure out how tonset up a good portable station with my current equipment. KI4IDB

My friend had a radio in his house and his wife got leukemia. I then found out that there’s high incidence of this disease and a few others because there’s so much power coming from those sets.

[@roadie6153]

Simply not true. ALL ham radio frequencies are non-ionizing and you cannot get cancer or any other "disease" from it.
