My First Field Field Day 2018

[@scottcottle4325]

Very "In Tents" I just went through Clare last week. Nice to see your early stuff. Ohh those young and naive ham radio daze. Nice job on the 10m pileup. 73 W8XDX

[@hamradiotube]

Clare huh? She sounds hot lol!! Yeah it's crazy to see how far along/obsessed I have become in only a few short years. That was my first pileup ever. That def got me hooked.

[@AndrewWells527]

Going through some of your old videos, thanks for the bit on them taking down the tower; was wondering how they did that w/o a crane.

[@hamradiotube]

Oh cool man, yeah that is a great club. Very active in portable ops.

[@cobrasvt347]

Let me get a thumbs up for Cemetery Gates from Pantera 🤘

[@hamradiotube]

Getcha Pull

[@hamradiocq]

Yeah buddy, I heard my call at 7:39 lol. Love the video. Thanks YO!!! I'm not happy with Bioenno, long story. Yeah, that's right. I watch your videos!

[@hamradiotube]

And I watch yours haha. Look into the Headway 38120 cells that I'm using. Same ones as Julian OH8STN. He's got some great videos on making them They're awesome!

[@hamradiocq]

K8MRD RADIO STUFF thanks for the tip

[@MoTown44240]

Don't know what a pileup is like on phone but on CW its amazing when it happens. Its been a couple years, with the fluctuating band conditions that I've experienced a good pileup for any contest. You look like you enjoyed yourself. That's one of the fun things about this hobby. Best 73 KB8AMZ

[@cliffbarrett9471]

New sub here. Iam 55 yr old and gonna take my test next month.I have a enclosed trailer like the guys in the vid. Was thinking about selling it but not now. You gave me plans for it ha!

[@hamradiotube]

Cliff Barrett awesome! Good luck on the test!

[@cliffbarrett9471]

Keep em coming! 73!

[@JohnHaworth]

We liked the trailer. We will be looking for a way to run the coax and power differently and look for a way reduce the mosquitoes next year.

[@DaninVirginia]

Awesome event! I am a Mac user as well, use MacloggerDX do you? If so do you use the ipad version for portable? I ran N1MM on mac using Parallels for field day this year...

[@hamradiotube]

Thanks, this was what really got me hooked on working a pileup. I use a program called Aether on my Mac. For portable I use HamLog on my iPad.

[@JohnHaworth]

Thanks for coming out to the South Lyon Area Amateur Radio Club (SLAARC) FD. How Cool!

[@hamradiotube]

John Haworth thank you for being such great hosts John! It was more fun than I’ve had in a long while.

The 891 looks sweet. But I don't see any need to abandon my 857D in favor of the 891. Not enough new features to make it feasible.

[@hamradiotube]

If you've got the 857 you've got one hell of a radio. For me, I got into HF when the 891 was brand new~ish. It didn't make sense for my operating style (primarily HF portable) to go with the 857. The 891 just seemed the way to go for me. At the time, all the KZbin guys that I watched were still using the 857 or 817. Tony K9ARV, now N4ARV got me into portable ops. He had such a great KZbin channel but deleted it for reasons unknown. But then the reviews came out and I decided to go this way and I'm really glad I did. I'd love to have a sit down with both to compare the two though.

[@w4mkh]

@@hamradiotube I just added a IC-7300 to my shack last week. Not sure what the fate of the 857D will be now.

[@Hendo70586]

Great job on your guys FD. Appears everyone had a blast like our club CLARC in Alexandria, la did over the weekend.We operated as N5I. We ran some serious pileups all weekend especially on 20 which I stayed on throughout the entire 24 hrs. I was actually by myself on 20 with everyone else in the club taking a break getting some breakfast Sunday morning about 6:30 AM & all of sudden I thought I started hearing things as the Icom 7300 next to me started blasting straight through the headphones on 15 meters. I looked over and Waterfall which was blank 5 minutes earlier when I glanced over was lit up with solid signals. I hurried up to shout out to guys in other room for someone to come jump on 15 and by the time I turned around the other station down which was on 10 meters came alive. We had that room jamming working pileup after pileup on 20-15 & 10. It sure was fun to look at the Laptop and watch all those QSO's strolling like lightning on the screen LOL. The few of us who stayed up the entire 24 hours were dragging when it came time to take everything down and pack up, especially in this 105 Heat Index La. Weather we had. Lucky we operated out of AC building LOL.

[@johncuster3437]

Man I love this. For Field day 2018 my brother as I went to our Mom and Dads up by Clare Michigan and set up in their yard. They have about 10 acres. It was fun. It was just him and I and we did some 20, 40 I think we did some 10 and I know we did some digital (I don’t remember what one). Have a good one. Hope to hear you on the bands.

[@k2cjbradio]

Looks like you had a blast!! Awesome!

[@analoghistory]

Great job, glad you could make it out.

Btw...if you want a pileup, head to a POTA park, get "spotted up" on the web site and it will happen. Pretty fun.

[@hamradiotube]

I just registered for pota Tuesday. Can't wait to get out there.

[@_tony_m]

Seriously this video is awesome! Thanks for sharing!! 👍👍👍

[@hamradiotube]

Tony KN4MQI wow thanks a lot. Glad you liked it!

[@BradSnyder1]

This was awesome Mike! That sure was quite a pile you had towards the end! 73 KG5SDE

[@hamradiotube]

Thanks Brad! Yeah am already hungry for another. POTA here I come!

[@260830107]

I've operated a GOTA station at my local HAM club, it was pretty fun and all until the pile up started have like 50 people answering the same station at once

[@JonathanAdami]

Thanks for the vid! Pretty cool coverage of the event, I'd be geeking around too I reckon ;)

[@w2msa]

Thanks for sharing your video. I had a great time at field day. We were K2BAR 5A NNJ. 73 Noel W2MSA

[@RichardDePas]

The U.P. is loaded with blueberries. That is probably what he was referring to @ 29:30 73 K9WWW

[@hamradiotube]

Oh ok. We were wondering that. I had no idea.

[@lennyabo8885]

He must have thought you sounded like one of us Yoopers. Both blueberries and Mosquitoes galore up here. 73s, KB8NDH

[@bg45420]

Did the young girl get her license a few yesrs back at Dayton Hamvention? When I tested, I sat next to a 9 year old girl. I think her dad said they were from Michigan. I remember his call sign had 3 w's in a row and someone commenting that was a lot of whiskey. 73's

[@hamradiotube]

No she said she got licensed when she was 11.

[@jamespaulson5486]

This is what ham radio is about. Can't wait until Saturday when I get to run my own personal station for the first time ever on field day. DE VE6CKY

[@hamradiotube]

It's the most wonderful time of the year for sure! My club will be out there. If you hear N8SL be sure to give us a call. Have fun out there! 73

[@warplanner8852]

Pfffffffft! All phone and high power - no CW or QRP. Bunch of wusses! Even generators! Sheeeeesh!

[@hamradiotube]

We actually have a cw station set up I just didn't go into the guys RV who was running it. I will surely do that this year. No qrp though. I am going to participate in tomorrows QRP night however.
