OMG what a brilliant QSO, Simon. This is so cool 😎. I love how you experiment and explore the options available for HAM radio. Keep up the inspirational work my friend.

[@thehamjazz]

Stuart buddy, thanks so much for your kind words mate. I love fooling around with this stuff - I gotta say, I'm blown away how well the 'vertical' works in the horizontal configuration! See ya on the airwaves soon my friend. Thanks for leaving a comment mate. Cheers !

[@Tommy_Boy.]

I should be in the air on Friday 6/14 from about 1600z to 2130z with a plane that has HF, but I’m guessing you don’t have your bike out there on your adventure. 🏕️🤣⚡️✈️

Brilliant.... 73de MI0GTA

[@thehamjazz]

Thanks so much Stevie, it was a total blast

[@rodmurrayVA3MZD]

I heard about this extraordinary event on the Sunday QRP Net last week! Or maybe you did a previous canoe activation? On Wednesday of this week I was struggling to activate a local CA park on 20m QRP but when I got OR and WA in the log I knew some weird propagation was happening! Then I heard your call sign and the unmistakable Oz accent (lived there back in 2007). I couldn’t break your pile up and needed 1 more for 10!

[@rodmurrayVA3MZD]

Yes indeed! I just noticed your previous canoe MM video. It was the subject of conversation on the QRP Net!

[@thehamjazz]

Wooohoooo! G'day Rod, thanks for watching mate and leaving a comment. Love the QRP Net! Steve and Kevin are the best. See ya on the airwaves my friend. Cheers

[@stevea3498]

I had a good copy on him here, but I guess for a pilot he didn't need to know phonetics ! I couldn't pull his call sign out on the other side of the continent !! VE1SK

[@KarmaFlight]

Wow! What a small world. Coincidentally, Nathan lives near me. I am on the 747 so, I need to see if the jet's radio has 20 meters. This might get interesting! Thanks N7AVN

[@thehamjazz]

Hey there Michael, so great to hear from you mate. Would you and Nathan and my other Pilot / Ham buddy Tom be interested in coming on a livestream to talk about Aviation Ham Radio? Thanks for watching mate, wooohooo! Cheers

[@KarmaFlight]

@@thehamjazz Yes, that would be a lot of fun. I am a new HAM, but I have used a lot of different radios over the years in the military and civilian aviation. There is so much to learn! My callsign reflects my passion AVIATION- AVN. Thanks!

[@thehamjazz]

@@KarmaFlight Hey Michael, if you get a minute mate, could you please send me an email to [e-mail] so I can include you and Nathan on a thread? Cheers buddy

[@RgrRiffic]

@karmaflight Very cool man, wonder if I’ll ever bump into you at the airport!

[@Ei2iP]

Mad, yet brilliant to watch..well done mate. de Ei2iP

[@thehamjazz]

hahaha, mad is right buddy. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Cheers!
