Now that's my kind of operation. Beats a stuffy shack anyday! Very impressed with the reciever on that X6100 to still recieve that well around that commercial radio site. Thanks from USA for the beautiful views, wouldn't you love to live in a place like that!

[@IrishHamRadio]

Thank you… Yep it did well.. and as I use it more i find out better how to work the volume and rf gain mix to increase readability.

Great video and activation Dave. I've not done a geo for a couple of years. Me - Hey love, i know we are on holiday. I am just going to go out and do a SOTA. XYL - Ok love, dont forget to pack the divorce papers in your rucksack. 😂😂 73

[@IrishHamRadio]

Hehe! 😂 Yep i know why you mean… I always try to make it a low-impact on the family holiday time as possible.

Excellent video Dave and well done on the activation. Looked a good location with a nice view. Glad it's not just me that descends the Summit then remembers that I have walked past several Geocaches. Hope you all had a good holiday and speak soon. 73 Chris M0RSF

Thanks Chris. Happens all the time! With filming and everything else, it’s easy to forget.

[@IrishHamRadio]

Thanks Tim!

The Irish shouldn't be allowed that far south. Blackpool is warm enough for you 😂 Nice to see that Hill Dave. I only saw it from the north and it looked steep as hell, so I gave it a miss. 73, Fraser MM0EFI

[@IrishHamRadio]

Thanks Fraser 😊… A nice summit and achievable really for most based out of los christianos or las Americas… The e-scooter saved me over 6k of walking along the coast to get to the trailhead and back from the hotel… Top tip!

[@gtretroworld]

Really enjoyed that buddy.Never heard of GeoCaching,just looked it up and it look’s awesome especially with the amount of trail running i do this could be great fun.Thanks

[@IrishHamRadio]

Thank you 😊… Yep it’s great fun… started it years ago and the kids used to love it when they were younger… And it was a motivation to get them out and about!

[@LB0FI]

The X6100 seems to run hot, but I still haven't managed to break it though. And I have abused it hard!

[@IrishHamRadio]

Yeah I like it to be honest.... and its such good value for all you get in it for the price... Some more abuse likely on my end as the Irish autumn winter SOTA season rolls in!!
