Nice activation, you Bunker on the Air Event !! 73 form Carlo LX1EC

Keep it up mate!

I own one of these monitoring bunkers here in Northern Ireland. I have been licensed since 2009 but never operated from the bunker. That is going to change this year. 73’s GB1ROC.

Nice video, I was also hunting Bunkers in October. Unfortunately 20m misses me here in "PA" land.

[@brianfields4479]

Hi Carl, I also live in Newcastle. I need to dig out my 320 and see if it will still fire up 😂. Love watching your videos, regards John G8KUZ.

I hope our military have better radios now ! Good to see you trying different things Carl and roping others into the bonkers madness (oh sorry that was bunkers lol). M7BLC

Carl, very interesting new activity for amateur radio operators, it seems very similar to POTA here in the states, and I very much like working in activities like that in amateur radio, as long we have fun that is the most important part, and usually you can pick up some great history of the area, and other facts that make it all very enjoyable, and Carl, thank you for sharing.

[@Philip-KA4KOE]

320 is a nice kit. Had one a few years back.

I've fond memories of messing about in the local ROC bunker as a kid, but it had a load of asbestos in it so we stopped going in it after we found that out!

[@gtretroworld]

Our local radio club were well involved with bunkers on the air. I was literally down one a few weeks ago, very grim places especially knowing you had to be down for weeks at a time, basically a box room and a toilet!..Another good video Carl..thanks

[@simontemplar0468]

Hi Carl. I hope all is well with you and your family. After watching your videos with the IC-705, other videos, and tinkering with one at work, I am going to add one to my collection of radios. I love your videos...always good stuff. Have a great weekend. 73 from Mount Hood, Oregon.

V E R Y F A N T A S T I C O P E R A T I O N ! ! ! 💯👌🙋‍♂

[@caulktel]

Carl watch out, you’re on the wrong side of the road😂.

[@brentonbills5946]

Sounds bonkers to me 😂.

[@blomidon]

No bunkers here in Newfoundland, but I do have a Clansman. I always have a hassle recharging the batteries at 24 volts. I use two 12v batteries. I was wondering what other operators do for recharging. VO1OK

[@TalmidAndy]

I bought an adjustable 24 volt power supply from Amazon. Originally I used it for paired 12 volt batteries and charging clansman batteries, however, I was able to get hold of a clansman charge controller and have been using it with that ever since.

[@VE3AVA]

I love this idea. Are the BOTA folks supposed to use ex military gear for the activity, or is that just a fun extra detail on your part?

[@M0SZT]

That’s just me messing about with Military radios 😊

[@inforobob]

Thought he bought a Subaru. What happened to that?

[@uncle870]
