Wow that is just a beautiful place to set up your radio. Wow just wow! Great video!

You are doing a great job. Just recognised that you are on the west coast. Wow. Just received my license and planning the same setup. Great inspiration. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video!

[@qrplife]

FB on representing the West Coast with good DX. I’d like to subscribe to the channel, but you’re at 73 subs now and it would be a shame to upset that number ;)

[@ardilla8651]

You can make QSO with EA3JE without antenna.... Regards from Spain. Jon EA3BV

[@jesusreverte2971]

Nice QSO from the west coast!. CONGRATS. I'm from Barcelona as well, EA3HVG, and I have the rame radio than you. By the way, what dou you use in for the mic, is that a voice compressor? 73!!

[@radioactive8772]

Yes it is a Sota Beams mic compressor. Sota Beams is a ham radio accessory company located in the UK. Hope to work you one day thanks K7WHN

[@Capt_Duffy]

[@radioactive8772]

[@TheBenni1288]

very good!! wow...73

[@qrptedmac]

Cool kit but lord how many winds are not that toroid? I’d have lost count 10 times. I think he said 10w but you were 5w. I have a 817nd and they are superb rigs. Built like Sherman tanks.

[@PaulStrickland]

Whereabouts did you get the ground spike from? Also what size is the battery?

[@radioactive8772]

The ground spike is one I made from 3/8 aluminum round stock and some pvc tubing with a end cap. The 3/8 rod is bolted to the end cap. The camouflage is just some duct tape. I used the same duct tape on the body of the telescoping mast. Thanks K7WHN

[@stephenchung]

What is that tuner?

[@radioactive8772]

The tuner is a kit from QRP GUYS. it is a 40-10 meter tuner. You can do a search on KZbin and see how it is built and how it works. Thanks K7WHN

[@stephenchung]
