Radio Camp Part 2

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Dave, this has been a lot of fun watching you get into radio. You bit into it hard and I’m really glad you’re out on HF and making contacts! Also, your Jeep is dialed in, that is impressive!

[@TangoOscarMikeN3WS]

Congratulations on your general Dave. Not only is ham radio a valuable tool, it can be a lot of fun.

[@joshuabuehrer]

It would be wonderful to hear more about your adventures in radio. Haven't heard much in awhile, sure wish you would make more videos in this vein!

[@scottodonahoe9505]

Glad to see you got your antenna off the ground ! Shoot and arrow with a line attached over the highest tree you can find and haul your wire up !

[@CigarsOnTheAir]

M Radio and the great outdoors, cant beat it! Thats why i love pota so much. Been watching you for a while. Love the Pathfinder coffee idea...ill have to try that! Keep up the good work and hope you get you in the log some day. Cheers and 73 de W3LAM.

[@mikemoore5412]

Please show more of radio camp. I'm currently studying for my ham license.

[@greentoptrekker]

Welcome to ham radio! Glad to have you.

[@stevewarner8880]

Hi Dave, welcome to the world of HF. My rig is a Yaesu FT891 and a Wolf River Coil vertical or a EmComm III like yours if trees are available. I mainly operate CW but some SSB net check ins also

[@Mart687]

8:15 I've mentioned in one of your previous video's comments a few weeks ago, you can use arborist throwline and a weight bag to get your antenna high up in a tree. We use it to get our long climbing ropes high up in a tree over a branch climbing drt. Cool to see you are using it now. Btw I love your channel and the knowledge you share in your video's. The pathfinder Ti camp grill is an awesome piece of kit to have. Looking forward to your next adventure. Greeting from the Netherlands!

[@DavidCanterbury]

You will see it in part 3

[@vision821k4]

@@DavidCanterbury If the world ends and I come upon your camp, waving a white flag, will you be offering help or firing a few shots at me?

[@1oldarmyguy]

Congrats on getting your ticket, Ham radio is lot of fun as I'm sure you are discovering. So the path finder coffee, I make one and I call it mud, Regular brewed coffee (death wish), 1 pouch of instant death wish, and then a double shot espresso. If that can't get me moving nothing does!! Also Jeep wave!!

[@frankeberle3535]

Fabulous as usual Dave, I just enjoy how wide your skill set is, I learn much. AD0WW 73 Dave

[@RatdogDRB]

Love my Green Elephant poles, use them all the time. I have the original of the table offerings, I wish mine had the little spots for those removable stabilizers. I have to remember to stow them in the same spot each time so I don't have to go on a search/destroy every time I camp.

[@johnathanlivingstonseagull5524]

Cave Canteatberry....you are amazing

[@clivewilkinson5394]

I quite like my telescopic fibreglass flag pole about 29 feet high fully extended. Woth a random lenght of wire and a balun

[@brianvannorman1465]

Interesting. You've got some very fun toys

[@fullthrottlequad]

Thank you very much Mr David

God bless you, dave! I know I'm late to the party but welcome to HAM radio! KE8OKC 73

[@hook2364]

Nice camp setup. I will be outdoors with my HF radio soon...

[@DE-ke2rf]

IC-7200 is an awesome radio. It’s my go to radio for portable ops. More rugged than the IC 705.

[@tonyd6884]

Love that 7200. I wanted so bad when I first got licensed but ended up with a 706mk2g. Now I’m on a 7610 really like the icoms

[@SBAkita4820]

Full of great information always, thank you.

[@deadairconversion]

If there’s anything that the last year and a half has taught some of us, it’s that alternative methods of communication and dissemination of information, are vital

[@tom-ehill2713]

That looks like enjoyable evening past time! Im always weary of Bear approach when out camping..

[@richardpenstein]

HI--Just wanted to Congratulate you on your general. Try not to get frustrated on not making contacts on a day to day basis. A lot of the bigger stations have over 1000 watts and bigger antennas. Also, using a Software Define Radio gives a lower noise floor as well. A 100 watts does go world wide, but limits due to Space Weather make it harder this end of the Sun Spot Cycle. Great job, AD6EC.

[@thehermitslantern777]

Dave, thanks for sharing. Something I've been interested in for a while but haven't taken the time to pursue it further. Definitely need to. I think your video was a hint & nudge. Thanks for sharing, from your neighbors in the same neck of the woods on the mighty Ohio (Meigs).

[@bc65925]

A couple of straps or lines from the back of that table, under the tire then up to both corners of the table should help it. Got my tech about the same time as you and have been hitting the book for general. Just to many Blacksmith demos this time of the year. Working on learning code now.

[@shanescustomwelding]

Welcome to the hobby KD0OOP I really enjoy your videos and you're jeep setup is epic I hope to see more content like this. See you on the air maybe .73

[@JReed305]

Good on you for having a copy of the band plan sitting right there next to the radio. How do you like that tuner now that you have had it a bit? I have a kit for it sitting on the bench waiting to get built.

[@DavidCanterbury]

I like it but I would rather use antennas resonate to the band

[@tangle70]

I like the POTA thing. They are quick and easy. I am not one to talk very much.

[@Rusted_Link]

You and I are getting into this HAM stuff at about the same time. I started dabbling in GMRS but quickly realized that HAM is the way to go. I'm taking my test in a few minutes. One thing I've learned about Hammers is that they like to talk about HAM stuff. Oh and the weather.

[@Rusted_Link]

I passed, Whoo Hoo!!

[@jv14488]

Congratulations! KJ7GTI

[@GeorgiaWoodsmen]

Hey Dave glad you are a ham,welcome love ham radio have you heard of wilderness protocol. A lot of new people have not check it out on KZbin. You may be able to help someone that is lost or hurt in the wild. 73 Dave and God Bless.

[@USNVET81]

Dave are you going to Overland Expo East in VA?

[@Bushy556]

I have the same setup at home.

[@larrygrigar3793]

Dave I can't find the longwire antenna on your pages. I'm intrested?

[@richardbunt2278]

Cool video

[@jonlittle6572]

Something I've been thinking about getting into. Thanks Dave for the guidance.

[@richwallace4632]

Dave, I'm scheduled to take my Technicians test in two weeks. But wondering why you didn't go with GMRS for around your place?

[@richwallace4632]

Enjoyed the radio series. Are you still using the first antenna that you hoisted up with pvc pipe?

[@imhigh0013]

What year and what model is your jeep. I keep hearing people cite Jeeps as lemons now a days. First was a Liberty( 2015?16?); then wranglers. Newer models (ie 2021, i believe made in Mexico?) What I wanted to look at was a gladiator? Pickup jeep. But am now VERY hesitant! But i love body of your truck. Wanted to know more about it.

[@larrygrigar3793]

I'm guessing that's your call sign Velcroed to your small bag? I too am going to general asap. I too Just purchased a base Ic756 pro2 and a moble ic-7000. I watch all you stuff and colecracker, corporal Kelly. I'm diggin it man:0)

[@JBreeze4598]

Fun Vid, How about a quick strap on the table if others my be around to lock it? Well 73 Josh Lex KY KO4TFF

[@DaveJohnsonad5nm]

As cycle 25 ramps up be careful operating close to 14.300. Nice set-up but the rig is a bit bulky for my liking. I keep a couple Icom 706's on hand for portable operations and use OCF antennas. OCF's are simple and can be easily cut to resonance 160 up to 6 with a 4:1 or my preference a 6:1 current transformer, balun. Baluns are simple to build but many newer hams are loosing the talent to build. You don't learn everything overnight or even over a couple years. I have 50+ years in amateur radio and still learning.

[@marvegner2272]

Looks like you are getting into HF in fine shape

[@WojciechRolinski]

Thank you David for learning about amateur radio. You have been teaching people many useful skills for many years.

[@casualpreparedness2347]

First view and thumbs up. 👍 Watching this from the Gulf Coast of Alabama. 💯👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@HaydenHKD]

Dave this is pretty cool. I believe this will be needed soon for world contact. Things are bleak but with prepared citizens, we will be ok. I’m about to jump on the quad for a 100 mile haul to the NH Canada border, I’ll have my HAM with me the whole time

[@snovak89]

Who is the coolest person you have talked to so far, David?

[@scooterfpv8864]

😎👍👍

[@VanishingNomad]

I am waiting for you to mix your slingshot hobby and your Ham radio hobby, to get antenna wires up in the trees. Hint, fishing line and a fishing weight to get the line as high as possible. Then pull Masons line up to the top. Use the Masons line to get the wire up. Masons line is superior to Bank line in this case because its slippery so it slides easy across the branches.

[@happymark1805]

dont trust signal reports too much, most of them give you 5-9, some even get mad if you give a honnest report, if ypu gp to bands like 17Meter you will catch stations that are more expreienced more old timers with loads of experience

[@WuLe993]

I agree with most things you said over the years I've been watching your channel Dave but this tire table is pretty pointless to me. More complicated than a regular folding table, takes longer to set up and take down, isn't stable... Is there any thing that this table is better at than a regular table besides mounting on a tire?

[@denniscleveland669]

I’d try flipping that tire piece, with the curve in it, over so the curve is down. Maybe it’ll grip the tire?

[@pmubdeeps]

Tried getting into ham radio and studied the material like crazy, but realized it was more than I wanted to get into. Do you really need to know how to build an electrical device and all the mathematical equations that go into it, just to talk on a radio? Probably not. And I really wasn't happy with the remnants of what's left of the HAM community. It's full of policing trolls for the FCC who are constantly seen threatening others with prison unless they get their license. Which explains why the community has been dying over the years and nobody is on the air. Regulation has totally killed it. Only ones left are the die hard enforcers who go around sounding official pretending like they are fulfilling some government role. No thanks! I know how to use my radios when the time comes.

I think it was -9, your tarp had frozen n it was definitely winter. Now look at ya, fancy jeep, roof top tent n yer own radio station ! Just LoLzin at yer evolution bro, no shade. 😇
