nice one ! thats a lovely setup and go-box, looking forward to the video on that one. Am getting out more these days Tracy, thanks for the continual motivation to get out and get on the air !
VE3TWM Tracy great to meet you and Tom as you packed up and left from your activation. Golden Horseshoe was renamed by in 2023 RAC to align with our ARES/CANWARN sections here in Canada. Yes it sometimes confusing for recipients but we got it done.
Interesting and great video. BUT.....Way too cold for me to setup outside. I have to give you two guys credit for doing so. Even if it was only for a hour. For 50 watts and a hunk of wire, you guys did great. Barry, KU3X
Nice setup. I'm glad Winter Field Day went well for you.
Thank you, Michael!
The ZS6BKW is my “Go To” HF portable antenna! It works great. Good coverage and decent performance.

Nice to meet you too, Stuart! You had quite a weekend with all those contacts.

You guys are hardcore outdoor hams! Well done!
Thanks, Chris!
In contrast to Winter Field Day, here in Tampa, FL, you are in real Winter Field Day conditions
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
I am very happy with my homebrew ZS6BKW. Only Difference on my Version is the Military Wire from the German Bundeswehr I use as a Radiator.
Cool! Nice to hear from you UG.
Nice! I might have to build that antenna.
Looks cold....I would like to see more about Toms go box.
Stay tuned!
It was very hard to break through to the east coast from LAX mobile.
nice job
Thank you!
Yep, the Achilles heel of the zs6bkw is no 15m without lots of tuner loss. Great antenna but for solar max I want 15 every outing.
You did quire well for being on the air for only an hour.
I thought it was nice that you made a contact with a special event station (W5W). 73 KD5YOU
Me too 😀 73 from VE3TWM!
You look cold.
Yes, was actually shivering at the end.
winter field day at the north pole lol
