Radio Camp Part 3

[@fullthrottlequad]

Sweet setup on Jeep n comms. You deserve it. From dual survival to pathfinder nationwide

[@deadairconversion]

Killer bug out vehicle Dave. Very nice.

[@anthonypeak1]

As someone from a single parent household. These how-to camp and make contacts have been really informative.

[@BigFireDave]

Thanks for showing the closing of the rooftop tent. Other people making videos dont show what it s like closing it. It is rather involved. Deploying it is easy lol

[@JJ-JOHNSON]

Glad your enjoying Ham radio, I look forward to have QSO with one day soon, 73's from KK4LPL - JJ Muscle Shoals, Alabama

[@mrbodyrot]

Super sick Jeep setup, love that tent on top!!

[@thermaldetinatorsonly8857]

Dave, my father has been a ham radio operator since the 70's. I grew up around all this equipment, and it changed my view of life

[@trainsboats6270]

Dave Dave Dave come on man you know we all want to see all the equipment in the truck show it on video bro. Your killing us.

[@brianl.biddle670]

Really enjoy all of your videos. Very educational. Great job and keep it up.

[@rezashahmizad9585]

Oh! Catching a new video from the LEGEND, the man, Dave Canterbury in the first 10 minutes, What a great feeling... This guy is the GOAT and I love it when he gets a bit silly in his vids from time to time, makes me laugh so hard, but the knowledge one can acquire just watching his vast catalog, is mind boggling. Hailing from Iran, thanks for what you've done, changed my life❤️❤️

[@luanaewerling8883]

Dave, esse Jeep ta muito legal, bem equipado, parabéns! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@dennisseverns4014]

Tried to leave a comment about some recommendations for managing that throw line, will see if this one goes through.

[@gco40gray82]

I have the same Moth Man sticker on the hood of my jeep. 😆🤣

[@douglasvamateurradioandmore]

I've got a few diy dipoles. Contacted one guy in Ontario. I will be finishing up am efhw in the next couple weeks

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Pretty slick ass set up Dave .👊💀

[@Yotacamps]

Why would anyone give a thumbs down on knowledge?

[@repsfo]

One thing you have to pay attention to is polarization. The Buddy pole is vertical, the Sloper or a Dipole is horizontal. Most HF communications are horizontally polarized. The exception is HF mobiles are vertically polarized. That plays into it. Also every antenna is simply tuned for ONE frequency as you move up or down from that resonant frequency you loose efficiency and your SWR goes up. This is where an antenna tuner is helpful. Also the distance between the ground and the antenna is important because that space is electrically part of the antenna known as capacitive reactance that plays into the antenna efficiency formula. KC4PTH.

[@bretlemieux2489]

Dave thank you for all you have Taught me and all you are going to keep teaching thank you so much I wouldn’t be able to do half of the things I can do if it weren’t for learning from your channel again thank you sir

[@Bob814u]

Glad you are having fun with your setup. Once you get used to tweaking the antennas you will be amazed at how many people you will be able to talk to. Heck, plan a trip and let everyone know. You think a POTA Pileup is bad. Try a KZbin pileup. The advantage is people will be able to hear their transmissions. 73!! de KE5ES

[@VanishingNomad]

Ok, here is what happened with the buddy pole. It radiates parallel to the ground. So reflection off the Ionosphere is minimal. However, the wire radiates in a large vertical doughnut shaped pattern. You have a lot of signal bouncing off the ionosphere. So of course you could communicate better at long distances. Also, the wire has a lot more antenna up in the air. The buddy pole only has the tip up in the air. Most of the buddy pole is lower to the ground.

[@aaronakiyama]

The EMCOMM III portable is my go to antenna. I usually run out as a sloper as well due to ease of deployment. Don't get hung up about having the matching box suspended. I've run it plenty of times with the box just sitting on the ground. Food for thought.

[@DjNira69]

This is amazing.

[@mikeadams2339]

I know all the folks want the fire starting,skinin,huntin videos.communication is so important! Two questions for you. During Afganistan or any other war how are folks communicating? What are they carrying?

[@freemovementarts]

Hi Dave - another ham newbie here - am wondering how these two antenna differ from the survival antenna you looked at a few weeks ago - just different bands, or are there other differences too? Thanks!

[@nimroddiaries_]

One is a vertical with coil to change frequency but can be set up nearly everywhere; the wire is longer, needs a high point to hang but nothing to change frequency. That's a very basic comparison. Search the buddipole and the emcomm3. Both are well liked.

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Dave 73 AB7RR Bob God Bless America

[@michaelcarter8209]

Outstanding

[@BCVS777]

The first time I had to get up in the middle of the night to take a leak I would fall off that ladder and break my neck!😆

[@DavidCanterbury]

That what water bottles are for

[@garywheeley5108]

Just a thought what about using a bow and arrow to get more height sacrificial arrow with natural materials would getting 20/30 ft high make any different?

[@tangle70]

I been looking for someone to test different antenna/radio setups. Come to the next ham club meeting. I would love to have someone that is interested in experimenting in "moble/camp" radios and how to cover an area (repeaters, NVIS and such).

[@DavidCanterbury]

Send me a mail to [e-mail]

[@HammockRadio]

Take a look at the Chameleon LEFS, I've had good success with it and my 705, it doesn't need a tuner since it's a 49:1. I could probably lend you mine if you wanted to field trial it fist, let me know!

[@Spartan_Prepper_dugEfresh]

Dave, I been meaning to ask how you doing with recover after the bad fire you had?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Doing well my friend thank you

[@deadairconversion]

Same here Dave, you and your Fam have been in my thoughts. Experienced a terrible housefire as well, and it’s a loss that’s impossible to explain. Keep on truckin.

[@rifleslol]

You worried about your Gladiator's payload capacity at all? They're only rated at like 1700 lbs?

[@jimmycarter2492]

With a good two way, SWR set right , and the skip is rolling, and your able to hit a repeater you'll be talking around the world. 🇺🇸

[@garywheeley5108]

Seeing you climb up on the rear wheel of your jeep could weld something up like a 2 rectangles fit over the wheel could mave lots of uses ?

[@johnny30806]

KZbin is ghosting all Bushcraft and prepper channels. NO NOTIFICATIONS

[@mattfoley599]

Nice vid Dave put that buddipole on eBay it works the best on eBay. It will NEVER ever beat a long wire ask me how I know Twice. It’s a compromise antenna that’s why you had hardly any contacts at the start.

[@BigFireDave]

You should try a magloop. I have tried it and it has it's quirks but it does seem to work.

[@DavidCanterbury]

I have one from ICom waiting on my 705 to try it out

[@wildfire365]

Or you can use a hand held ham radio and eliminate everything else.

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

The moonshine is real and it didn't come from the store. Double distilled, with some butter extract and strawberry flavor added.

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

great info! 73's de KM4RFP

[@VanishingNomad]

It all started with the 5C's Now, its the 500C's!! Just kidding! Hope to QSO one of these days! W4GNI

[@143DREWID]

Kamper loves to abuse its own fabric... hope it is titanium fabric.... Been running a Moss tent for 25 years.

[@rickmckee6698]

Sounds like your hinges need a lube job ! Great video !

[@transformers7472]

Cool

[@artochoamovies]

73's Dave.

[@jamesredmond429]

I"M SWEETING JUST WATCHIN YOU DAVE THAT TENT IS TO MUCH WORK FOR ME MAN

[@DavidCanterbury]

Yeah it takes about 3 min to set up and maybe 5 to pack down that is a lot of work for some people no doubt

[@BakedAndAwakePodcast]

KJ7WQK checking in- with appreciation, from the Pacific NW

[@b.gainzzz-h4y]

Your a legend

[@weerobot]

Maybe be Our Last Line of Communication Oneday...

[@thewarriorandthegarden1562]

Yes first
