    That's a nice set up. It reminds me of my friend, Harry, who is in heaven now. He was big on HAM radios. You're smart to think about communications as part of survival.

    Hope you read this, Dave. You’ve inspired me to study for my test. There’s a LOT of info here but I’m motivated from a mobile prepper pov to provide emergency comms to my community and further out. Times are strange and it’s smart to prepare ahead for them. Stay warm and keep the radio series hot!

    The ICOM IC-705 is a fantastic radio for this type of setup. It does just about everything.
    Great quality video Dave. Glad you got this working!

    Just in case you have wondered why your receive audio cuts out every so often, it is the weather radio alert monitor. Enabling that in the menu causes your receiver to briefly switch to your weather channel to check for a SAME code to be broadcast in a severe weather event. If it bothers you it can be disabled in the menu.

    Everytime I see you use the 705 it makes me want one even more. Appreciate the walkthrough on your setup, always love to see more people involved and promoting ham radio. 73

    Great portable ops video Dave. You have a nice setup indeed. I too am an Amateur Radio operator - W8APP and I am big into JS8. I was fortunate to be an Beta tester of v 1.0 & an Alpha tester of v 2.0 You will find my station on 7.078 usually 24/7. I too have a portable setup Yeasu FT891, 16Ahr LiFEP0 battery, Raspberry Pi 4B, KM4ACK EFHW antenna as well as the Wolf River Coils TIA Platinum. Along with SSB operations, I work PSK, Contestia, Olivia, MFSK and I have off grid email capabilities using Pat and Winlink as well. I would love to do some portable ops in a hot tent with my teenage son who is an operator but unfortunately, we are not setup for that. I will certainly keep my out for you on the waterfall. I will leave a message for you to retrieve from my station. Keep the great off grid radio operation videos coming! I hope to see you on the waterfall sir! 73'

    Back in early 90s my unit used a device with 64 character encryption to send 160 characters of text via AM and SatCom radios. The benefit was global comminication versus line of sight like FM. I was very well educated on setting up a dipole in a tactical scenario behind enemy lines. Good times.

    Hey Dave, I think a DX commander for the jeep would be good for a base station or field days. It's a resonant all band antenna that's pretty simple uses a fibreglass pole and wire elements. It's especially handy on tops of hills with no trees. Also since it's resonant and doesn't need a tuner it's great for QRP since there are lower losses. I use mine with a Xiegu X6100, similar to the IC-705 but without 2m/70cm (I have an Anytone 878 for that). 73's de HA5RV

    @swx1250 3 роки тому +3

    My boyfriend and I follow your channel. We have the same stove and tent. I heard you complain about the stove pipe. Reason its on the front,so it doesn't allow the smoke to go into the tent when opening the stove door. If you want to cook on the stove, best way to position is sideways so its safer and you have a nicer view from the bed. Also you get more cooking area. We changed the door on the stove to the model "vector" . We can send you pictures if you would like. Love your channel.

  • @johnnorman7708

    Way too much adventure fun there. I always was fascinated by DX work from field locations. The thought of a straight key operator in a hidden location in a black and white adventure movie dance through my imagination pretty easy.

  • @thegreatcornholio7255
    @thegreatcornholio7255 3 роки тому

    Cool. I'm currently studying for my General License, and want to setup SHTF communications. I'm thinking a 10 meter for local communications, an NVIS setup for regional, and something like JS8Call like you've got going. I have no experience with any of them, but I think that's my plan of action for comms. Obviously I've got 2 meter/ 70 cm HTs for close communication. Along with weather radio, and regular FM/AM broadcast radio receiver, and I think I should have a pretty good communication setup if there's no cell service or internet.

    Hi man, I just want to let you know that I'm studying all your videos about trapping. I bought myself a few 6X6 double spring body trap and long spring foot trap. But after watching a later video I realized that the Duke dog proof coon trap is much better. So I willl get some of them too. I have some many questions. Sorry if they look so simple, but do you know where I can place my traps in NYS? I think I should get a permit and probably there is some season for doing so. Also I'm not sure if I can do it in Winter. There is so much knowledge in those videos that I will have to buy a notebook to write notes , each video has too much information. Thanks

    You have quite a nice set-up but I have a question. R u EMP protected? If shtf happens, your radios aren't worth a crap because they will get fried. You should check into EMP Shield. They will cover everything you got. Just food for thought for an excellent setup that you have especially being mobile. Have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!
