Dinosaur Valley State Parks On The Air & Dinosaur Fossils!

[@davidniemi4051]

"Crocks in 4X4 mode" Hilarious !! Nice seeing the little kid come out of you in the video. Looks like fun thanks :)

[@hamradiotube]

Couldn't have done it otherwise lol! This was a blast. Thanks for watching.

[@buggzz99]

Top shelf content Mike! Ham Radio and paleontology! it's cool when different tribes of nerds cross paths

[@hamradiotube]

Thanks Ken. This was a fun outing for sure.

[@kb9jqu]

Awesome to hear QSO's with James and Tobi! Awesome EFHW deployment!

[@hamradiotube]

Was good to get them in the log.

[@amateursandairwaves]

I really like you getting a park employee to talk you thru the stuff at the park. I realize that won’t always be an option but I found it interesting and would love to see more of it. Combine travel vlogging with your POTA vids for a winning combination

[@haramanggapuja]

My dear uncle, V. T. Schreiber was a geologist. He loved to go down to the Dinosaur Valley park and help out telling the visitors about the rocks & animals. He was a wild and crazy guy at heart. So you got to hang out where my uncle once hung out. Nice video. Good job. 73 de W8IJN

[@hamradiotube]

That's too cool! Glad to bring you along.

[@mewrongwayKOCXF]

Can you imagine if that was your pet, how big a shovel you would need! 🤣 Awesome Mike!

[@davidsradioroom9678]

WOW! Dinosaur tracks AND a great POTA activation! Thanks for sharing! I want to go there someday to see the tracks for myself.

[@hamradiotube]

It was amazing to be walking in the tracks of a Dinosaur, I'm not going to lie! Really cool place.

[@peterdekeles.]

Dude knows his dinosaurs

[@hamradiotube]

Yes he does

[@AndyAAzeroAM]

So, 50 million years from now someone will be cleaning out Croc prints from the mighty K8MRD! Cool Video man! I never would have known about this.. maybe a vacation Idea

[@hamradiotube]

Lol! I don’t think humans have a chance in hell of making it that long but this is funny.

[@JayR-hx1qt]

This is how I like to POTA, spend the day learning cool stuff then get on the air for a while. That park would be an amazing experience.

[@hamradiotube]

It was a really fun way to spend the day that's for sure!

[@keithfrost1268]

My grandfather took us there when we were little. told us we were going to track live dinosaurs. we laughed. then he showed us the tracks.

[@Pigeon__Man]

71! Damn, EFHWs can really sing when they, or the bands, want to. My KM4ACK is great but skunked me at a camping trip in upstate NY last year. Can't wait to try that one again.

[@hamradiotube]

Why do you think I use them so much?

[@503Nick]

That’s awesome. Drone footage over the tracks would have been amazing if they allowed it

[@hamradiotube]

I'd need a drone for that lol

[@503Nick]

@@hamradiotube get on it bubba 😃

[@preppie478]

Marshall, Will and Holly...on a routine expedition...met the greatest POTA ever known......

[@K5QBF]

I need to get down there I’ve heard that was a fun park to explore.

[@hamradiotube]

If you like to nerd out it's the place to be.

[@N2YTA]

Excellent video, loved it, thanks . . . .

[@hamradiotube]

Well thank you!

[@denniskimrey4129]

Thanks for the Park de W0HL

[@hamradiotube]

Thank you

[@kenluning909]

AWESOME !!!!!! There is a small park at Crawford, TX called Tonkawa RV Park that was always an attraction when I was in Scouts. There are a few dinosaur track there also. Thanks for the video. 73 W5KAL

[@Ammed_KN6STX]

That was fun 🤩!

[@hamradiotube]

It was a blast

[@lyledal]

Dang! Wish I'd known about this place when I lived in Dallas!

[@hamradiotube]

Looks like you'll just have to come back to Texas.

[@MikeN2MAK]

This looks awesome! Next time I'm down near Fort Worth visiting family, I will definitely check it out and do a POTA there too.

[@hamradiotube]

You should!

[@FollowThomas]

You're in the right place. I saw in the news about newly found dinosaur's tracks there. Cool place and those dinosaurs were huge. I need to get out there at some point.

[@hamradiotube]

Yeah I just read about it over the weekend at Huntsville. I was like hey, I'm going to be in Dallas, I might as well stop there on my way home. So glad I did.

[@stevegriffin9552]

Hey Mike that’s a beautiful park I think I was there in 2008 I’m glad you had fun. Look like you was very busy on the pota with the pile ups. By the time you read this hopefully had a safe trip home thanks for the video. WD5ENH Steve

[@JeffCowan]

I have emotional damage just trying to keep up with all those QSOs!

[@hamradiotube]

Lol

[@alanbrockmeier6871]

So very cool Mike! Thanks for sharing. 73. NM5SP

[@guygore3794]

What's up Mike! I was there a few months ago and even caught a little trout there in Blue Hole. Wish I'd have bumped into you at the park 😊

[@Davidjb37721]

Hi enjoyed your video

[@hamradiotube]

Hey, thanks

[@mysteryham4065]

Wow. Killer video!

[@hamradiotube]

Thanks so much

[@stephanhersey1186]

As usual a great video. Thanks. Give Satin a pet for me. 73, Steve, k7ofg

[@hamradiotube]

Will do! But if he bites me I'll have to bite you for him if we ever meet lol!

[@pauljameson1]

I have a feeling this is how the initial conversation with the dinosaur guy went: Mike: “Hi! I have a KZbin channel that is followed by a bunch of nerds and history enthusiasts. Can you use big technical terms when explaining the tracks please?” All in good fun haha. WB7N.

[@hamradiotube]

Lol, that's not too far off from what really happened. I just walked up and they started talking to me. They really have a passion for what they are doing and were so eager to share. It was really cool!

[@pauljameson1]

@@hamradiotube nice! That sounds super cool

[@larrystephens7437]

71 contacts and understood about 5 of them. I sure hope I get better at this...

[@hamradiotube]

LOL, You will. See if you can hear someone activating a POTA and just listen in to the pile up. See how many stations you can pull out.

[@gmanshackshack6822]

LOL!!! All of those videos walking up or away. We all know that you hafta walk up setup the camera, walk away, then walk back to collect the camera again... It was also noticeable that most of them were early in the hike. I can hear Mike off camera saying "Eff that!"

[@hamradiotube]

Oh yeah, it was so ridiculously humid I just wanted to get to where I was going about half way through.

[@Tommyr]

Pretty damn cool Mike. Thanks for filming it all. Highly interesting! Talk about vintage Nature! That guy with the pony tail looks like Aron Ra.

[@hamradiotube]

Right! One of the coolest POTA's I've ever done, that's for sure.

[@jamescstanley5018]

Interesting video Mike. Spot any footprints from the Lesser Spotted Cassler? (Sorry Dave!) Jim M7BXT

[@hamradiotube]

Lol, come on man, that's a cheap shot haha!

[@aa3konthego]

Did you see any footprints from an icomsaurus, yaesusaurus, kenwoodsaurus or the elusive alincosauruses?

[@kennethblackwell1137]

Kool....!!!!😁😁😁

[@W7LDT]

I think if I did that hike I would take drinking water.
