Thanks for a brilliant video. Nice to see portable operations on vhf ssb. Just one suggestion from a long time portable op.......... when the condx are tough and your contact isn't copying your callsign............. leave off the "portable" designation! It's too much information and muddies the important callsign; you can insert "portable" after he gets your callsign down. 73

Thank you for the kind words and thanks for the tip. I hardly did any /p in 2022, so need make the effort to get out more this year. Take care... Ben 👍🏻
