- I wanted a quick radio fix as I haven't played with ham radio for a couple of weeks. So I parked up for lunch and tried a bit of 10m but the band was dire. The good news is, lunch was superb with my take on a Ploughman's lunch.
History of the Ploughman's lunch: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ploughm...
Country Cabin Farm shop / thecountrycabinfarmshop
Equipment used:
Icom IC-705
Ecoflow River portable power pack
Sirio 4000 antenna
This is the Topdon JS2000 product link :www.topdon.com/products/JumpS...

That cheese looks nice, we used to have veal ham and egg pie when we where young, very nice. 73.
Nice video as always Carl, and nice pork pie too! Cheers, Mark 2E0MSR.
TY Carl , Ordered that Jump pack , as you say so handy ,than Humping big heavy Jump leads about or those big jump Packs , I've looked at the Spec, i have a 5Ltr Muscle Car ,so its a Win Win for me.
Carl, I really like your location to try out the ten meter band, I found it to be very quiet lately at my home qth, but the day is still young and I am sure things will pickup, and I really liked you quick lunch menu, quite appetizing. And Carl, I would run a portable radio such as the Icom 705 from 15.5 volts, checking the manual first for the max voltage. I have a Xiegu G90 and have run it from a Lithium ion battery running 15.5 plus volts with no problems, but I would always check the users manual for the max voltage first. Thank you for sharing a great video!
Great setup, Carl. I enjoy your videos and experiments.
Out and about, Food and Ham radio. 73
Just a quick one here Carl.
Hi Carl, possibly worth measuring the voltage of that TopDon with a load on it as it may well drop.
"THIS is a knife...."
This gave me an actual LoL moment as I too used to do this at lunch, but my setup was to listen only, to everything I could in that space and time, then...back to work.
Greetings Carl:
Yes the lifep04 pack can be as high as 16.4v fully stuffed think the kenwood 890 will cut off at 18v I’ve ran 16v into my ftdx10 and 16v into my 991a
Hi Carl,
Carl, you will have to let me send you some real Pearl Snap Cowboy shirts from Oklahoma! KG5AUN
it's not dead they are just on FT8.
Why would you use the whips as dipoles? That I don't understand. They are mobile whips and for best performance should be used vertically.
