Always enjoy your videos.

Great setup, and what beautiful country! Can't imagine wearing a jacket this time of year in Texas, though! Thanks for sharing!

[@Motham51]

Thanks for sharing your adventure. God Bless and 73! Tom, WN2FMM.

[@ahensley]

As soon as I heard the intro music I knew this would be a fun video. Thanks Randy!

[@markhill9912]

I wish you were my neighbor so that I could join you and bring my rigs and wire antennas! I'm about 235 miles north of you in Parkrose. Thank you for doing this and filming it. Now I can show people things I like to do with ham radio and getting portable, best of all, getting out of the house and into nature!!

Great video Randy! A lot of fun!

[@ae1tpa92gwtom2]

Hi Randy, Great Video, was epic with all the antenna, bands n modes you were operating from .. remote operating noise floors are a real treat,.. all the best n 73, from Bahrain

Thanks for sharing Randy. What a great couple of days! I always bring several antennas on POTA activations... you never know what's going to work! . "We have no failures … just 10,000 things that didn't work". Greetings from Geneva NY!

Nice video Randy Wow beautiful country Too.

[@skellym37061]

Thank you for all your videos Randy!Great info/content, great production!

[@K3JRZOnTheAir]

Nice outings! Beautiful location to film from!

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Randy, Nice scenery out there. Glad you had a selection of antennas to chose. Made some nice contacts. Haven't used WinLink here. Will need to rectify that situation. You and the family stay safe. 73 WJ3U

[@w1lex848]

That's a neat setup.

Great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures. KD2UTJ.

Nice video! Great that you had a variety of antennas with you. The Alex Loop antennas are lightweight and compact, but it's always a roll of the dice if they'll perform. And at the price of $499 it will never be on my shopping list for portable antennas...lol! The scenery is beautiful and I really enjoyed the outtakes. 73!

[@javi_k6tnt]

Fun Video!

[@Sm6ype]

What a wonderful place you are located at. Best 73s SM6YPE

Im Jelous Randy! Excellent views and great video! Keep going! Take care. John KB1EEU

[@microreniassance2929]

Great video. Entertaining and informative.

[@donh5794]

Interesting video! The QRP looks challenging. Seems like the Alex Loop part was short. Everytime I looked at buying the Alex Loop is was sold out. Good thing a variety of antennas were used for the portable operation.

[@jimsmith1166]

Nice video Randy. It's great to see you out doing a variety of modes portable. You've go fog, we've got smoke in southern BC!

[@ctscantechnologist]

Gosh, you live in such a beautiful area of the country! KD5TRI

[@forgetyourlife]

Not for long. We are all going to burn up soon.

[@stuarthall3874]

I really enjoyed the WinLink demonstration. That is a mode I have never tried, but it sounds very useful. Thanks for your work in making the video. Beautiful location. : )

[@davidsradioroom9678]

With a beautiful backdrop like you had, I would be tempted to stay there all day. I don't think you brought too much stuff. It's good you brought a variety of antennas, something everyone should do when going portable. Great video!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Very nice Randy!! Nice laptop you have there!

[@K7AGE]

Wonder where I got that idea

[@AvocaSingleTrack]

I have a place like this in upstate NY . Been thinking of doing this ! Most spots are 2000+ ft elev

[@joesammartino9208]

Thanks, Randy - I enjoy your videos. You appear to be comfortable in front of the camera and that is a large part of a good video. N2QOJ

Hi from Ke4hpq Corryton tn

[@KE6GRM]

Great video Randy 73 Ai6lz

[@hitechredneck6366]

There was an X-class flare that hit on the 3rd...that may have been why you had such poor conditions.

[@M0XYM]

Looks lovely - it's a nice hobby isn't it! Kevin M0XYM

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

OH man, that vacuum clip!

[@K7AGE]

You made it through to the end!

[@brianpacchetti5028]

Randy. What is a good source for Panosonic Toughbook? Great video. 73, W6DWY Brookings, Oregon

[@K7AGE]

I got my off of ebay.

[@Ron-xn4wf]

Good video Randy. What battery are you using ? Do you ground your radio when outdoors ?

[@K7AGE]

Bioenno battery. No ground, not needed.

[@Ron-xn4wf]

@@K7AGE Thank you. So much to learn !

[@K7AGE]

Yes

[@TXLorenzo]

Nothing beats a good tuned dipole. Gadgety magloops and half weight verticals don't sometimes cut it, lol. BTW, it looked like a beautiful day to spend out in the woods.

[@carlos-i5c1j]

HOLA .RANDY ME GUSTARIA QUE ME MANDARAS TU DIRECCION PARA MANDARTE ALGUNAS POSTALES OK. UN SALUDO CARLOS

[@K7AGE]

Look for my address on QRZ

[@DK5ONV]

Good morning Randy! I am really surprized the Vertical Antenna worked better than the Loop did. What can I say? It's all about enviroments / areas and of course band conditiones. I was always used to this if no other antenna really made my day then the Loop Antenna kicked inn for good. It's a very beautiful and peaceful place you picked for your experimental stuff. Great video documentary and good job done by you thru and thru Randy. Thx for sharing this with us. Happy wedensday & 73's de Your Friend Uncle Guenter DK5ONV

I am a part of the SOARC club, can you hit Fiddler Mountain from up there?146.640 136.5 We would love to hear you on the Monday night Net. Camp 6 and 8 Dollar Mt are possible too.

[@K7AGE]

I can hit that repeater from home. What time is the net?

[@carlos-i5c1j]

[@RichardHopkinsLobosSolos]

Cuba, this must have been filmed before the recent "peaceful protests" since they seem to be having trouble getting out currently.

[@W4BIN]

I'm pretty sure that I could live without the circus music. This looks like an exploration into QRP the natural way. (with the usual results) I wish he would call his serial port what it is, the port is, but windows (M$) isn't dependable. Ron W4BIN
