Today I went out to US-9848 Jefferson Marsh State Wildlife Area and got my Icom 7200 on the air, but not on the normal 40 or 20 meters that are the normal POTA watering holes, but I went for 17 Meters today. 17 has been hit or miss in the past with me during POTA since the bandwidth is so small, I am usually a bit reluctant to setup on 17 since in the past I've had sad hams try and cause me intentional QRM, but this was a pleasant experience and got to have a few nice QSOs as well as make a few POTA contacts. Anyways, thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on more videos! 73! -WQ9F

Nice activation. Hamsticks can definitely get out there.

The best Outdoor 100W Radio ever built IC-7200. Of course I am very happy with my IC-7300 for portable usage but my overall favourite Transceiver for POTA,SOTA, Flora & Fauna is the IC-7200. I also owned the IC-718 which dd a great Job out in the Fields....tnx for your Video. Happy weekend & 73 de Uncle Günter, DK5ONV 💯🙋‍♂

Thanks for watching! I really love the IC 7200 it is such a great radio. I've used a lot of different radios in the field but always find myself keeping the 7200 as my go to radio. 73! -Kevin
