Great way to spend and share breakfast at sunrise best part of the day 👍

[@rst5nn]

Very interesting and beautiful video. Thank you for sharing this!

[@cchalfantusa]

Inspiring me to get into QRP and CW! Thanks for sharing your adventure

[@tims.3204]

[@peterkempenaers479]

A beautiful video. I enjoyed it. 72 Peter OO7Z.

[@alannorthdevonuk763]

A nice relaxing video. Thank you.

[@warplanner8852]

Aside from your marvelous "rediscovering radios", Mort, you have a very lovely wife and she certainly has done a wonderful job of making your sunrise outing a real treat! It came to mind that even in the South of England, your Spring sunrises are quite early. But at 51°N and 3°W, that is to be expected. To quote one of the Wallace & Gromit episodes, "A Fine Day Out"! de William, k6whp dit dit

[@GregWallace8511]

Looks like a great selection of jams, uncle mort!

[@Q26Video]

Jam lovers always welcome here, come and join in - we can arrange an expedition as well...73 Matthew from Mort / G4BSK

[@willian.direction6740]

Thanks for the video great to see you out with your wife enjoying the early morning and working some QRP. Not sure if I could coax my YL out to play radio or get my breakfast HI. Regards and good work. Ian vk5cz ..

[@WR3ND]

Lovely holiday breakfast and location and some great radio contacts. Thanks for sharing.

[@Q26Video]

Glad you enjoyed it thanks! 73 from Mort / G4BSK

[@joyahamradio]

Watched it in one breath, thank you for such a detailed description of your journey with the radio station! QRP is an amazing area of our hobby that requires more scrupulosity. I'm just getting there, but haven't made any solid results yet. All the best, Archie EX0QKT from Kyrgyzstan, 73!

[@brianfields4479]

Fantastic video, and I've also been lucky to qso Roland with my qcx , he is a great guy. 73 and thanks for sharing. Zl3xdj.

[@Q26Video]

Thanks Brian - looked you up on QRZ.com - great to see you with your QCX mini and having a great time with QRP...73 from Mort G4BSK

[@davidhardie1960]

Fantastic video. I hope I have adventures like this soon!!!!

[@Q26Video]

I'm sure you will David, I know you are already having adventures with electronics 😃

[@tav9755]

Thanks for the nice video. It proofs that one can find adventure no matter where you are and what your budget is.

[@larspregge6420]

nice landscape. and thats it why qrp works. the other station has the big beam :P

[@Q26Video]

A common misconception, Lars - most of the contacts I make are with other stations with low power equipment and simple antennas - usually a wire in the garden or a dipole. I have worked stations all over Europe with less than 1/2 watt and many of them have been similar, usually 5w or less. It's a very exciting and satisfying way to enjoy the radio hobby and the idea that it can only be done if one side has a super duper antenna does not stand up to the facts...give it a try - put the huge rig and beam in a cupboard and have fun with QRP! 73 😃

[@bill-2018]

Some good results there. A nice location too. I bought one of those masts too, not been out yet and now summer is over, pouring rain today. I got my 817 because of QRM from broadband at home S8 noise 160 to 20m, 60m okay. G4GHB

[@Q26Video]

Hopefully there will be some ideal autumn weather soon Bill - and I'm sure you'll have some great results too with your 817 and portable antenna. Glad you liked the video, 73 from Mort/G4BSK

❤😂🤛🏾👌🏾🔥

[@ai5dd]

Nice setup, that’s more than I take out. I use a 9v bioenno on my radios that don’t use more than 12v. Does the QMX limit to 12? I have one of those in the queue. I’ll make a video on my various setups. I wish my XYL would put food together for me lol. 72 de AI5DD

[@on4mgy_radioamateur]

Great video ! 73 de ON4MGY
