Luckily I only run my radio and my tuner via my 20ah battery. It lasts about two hours if I run around 50 - 60 watts. Since then I have upgraded to a 40ah battery. It can go two hours + at high power and still have more to go!

It’s not bad. Make sure to bring along a table and a chair. That is, unless you are going to operate out of a vehicle. It was SUPER quiet the day I was there. As in no vehicle traffic.

Yeah I know but it wasn’t TOO bad.

Wow! Thank you!! Coming from a pro like yourself that makes me feel really good! Thank you again!!

Thank you!

Thanks. The kids, and the older guys to some extent, did a great job!

I got those from Sams club. However, I haven’t seen them there since I bought them. I want to say they were about $80.

@@theAVERAGEham Thanks I looked at Harbor Freight they have a set. I was able to activate East Fork State Park K-1948, last Saturday, 8/19. At some point I will get good enough to video at few contacts.

Thank you sir!

I'm sorry that I didn't explain it more. Parks on the Air is an amateur radio activity. It gives the operators the chance to get outside and practice making contacts using portable equipment. I like to call it radio fishing. You can find more information about Parks on the Air by visiting their website. parksontheair.com/

Thanks!

73!

You'll get no argument from me!!

Thank you!

Oh, sorry I didn't get you in the video. I have a bad habit of turning the camera off to do something, then having a flurry of QSOs. It was probably during one of my camera breaks. Hopefully I'll get better at this and be able to show more QSOs. Thanks for being out there that day!

Hello! I’ve activated Kincaid twice. Once down by the pool/lake, and the other time at a picnic table near the lake. There’s a little pull off/parking spot right off the road. The pull off area was really nice as it was close enough to the lake that I could play radio and see the fish jumping! I personally like to use a picnic table. It makes the setup, my opinion, a little easier. Hope that helps.

Thanks! Jack did all of the hard work. I just stood there.....mostly.

Thank you!

You're welcome! Maybe we will chat again the next time I get to play radio in the park.

You are welcome! Thanks for checking out the video!

I agree! I told my wife I wanted to retire and play radio but she said I had another 14 years to go!! Sheesh!

Thanks! I’ll have to look into that tuner.

Yeah, setting up in the rain is always a task but I really wanted to run that day. It was the call of the POTA. I probably won’t be looking to setup in the rain again for a while.

Thank you! I’ve only activated East Fork once. I setup near the boat ramp right by the dam. It wasn’t bad at all. I’ll keep an EAR out for you.

Thanks buddy! I learned it all from you!!

Thanks!

Sounds good! I’ll listen for you!

While I used my WRC on this trip, I think the EFHW does a fantastic job. Thanks for watching!

The 718 is a good solid rig. Run that battery at 35-45 watts and you work for several hours. You’ll only be down about 1 S unit from 100 watts. 73, KY4TS

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! Any time you want to come along let me know!

Thank you!
