Ham Radio Expedition – Mountain-topping w/FT817 & Buddistick
 |
A video log of our adventure hiking on Mt Herman. My goats Rooster & Peanut dance on the rocks while the ‘old goat’ works 20m SSB. FT-817 and Buddistick made it all the way to Fairbanks! Not bad for the bottom of the solar cycle.
How-To: Set up an HF portable radio while hiking
 |
Fall is the perfect time for hiking, it’s not too hot and not too cold. Last weekend I took a day trip to hike up High Mountain in New Jersey and activate SOTA summit W2/NJ008. It’s really easy to set up an HF portable radio and not a whole lot to carry up the mountain. This video shows how to get set up including how to hang the antenna in a cluster of trees and making contact with Italy. blog.makezine.com
