Proof that Ham Radio Operators are Crazy!

- Опубліковано 17 січ 2021
- Ever wondered what ham radio operators do when they go portable? Well one of the things is brave the elements. That's exactly what we did when we went out for the annual VHF/UHF "summer" Field Day weekend held on January 16th & 17th 2021. The things we do for ham radio... 🤷♂️🤷♂️

This is nuts mate.
The Flower Pot on 6m works well, worked some zl's on 6m FT8 other day out in a couple VKFF. vk5cz..
Nice work Hayden !
Thanks!
Love it
The guy on the bike probably thought you guys were the nuts! 😂 (insert my slow deep laugh sound here!). Great job Hayden! 73
No doubt at all!
Crazy is as crazy does ... rain, hail or shine! 👍
Loved your presentation style
Thank you so much 🙂
Just like a summer day here in UK :D
Yes Taswegia….. cold one day…. Freezing the next!! But very beautiful…. Spent 2 years at the Maritime College In Lonny, fun times! 🤡🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Reminds me of "summer" back in EI... Well done guys, and very nice setup you have there. 73 VK2SKY
Shame we couldn't try 10GHz, weather was horrendous here too. look forward to a 3cm QSO soon
Always the next time, thanks for being there to try just in case
Vid suggestion. How contesting works in Aus. How to enter and how to operate? I find the WIA site a bit vague for a noob.
Thanks, I will keep it in mind!
A Field Day on Mount Panorama during a Tooheys 1000 weekend would be interesting. Top Field Day work Guys :-)
Love it!
Hight is might mate!
Too right!
What's the black antenna on the back of that ute? As a Scotsman, I find that great weather for radio...just have coffee available! Lovely view...need to go there! Keep well!
That's my 6m flowerpot antenna vertical.

The guy on the bike thinks they are crazy ? That's the top of Mt Wellington - almost 1300m climb up from sea level. That's a lot of pedalling in the wind and rain
Nice setup! Too bad about the weather though
Geez....WINDY How in the world did those antennas stay up...
How in the world did the gazebo stay up!! We took it down when it got too wild
@4:04 is that Lance Armstrong? and then @7:04 you even have an Armstrong rotor.
Hahaha classic!
@@HamRadioDX great channel Hayden! thanks for making it fun and interesting!
Wow, if that's considered a lot of rain in Oz it's no wonder the place is mostly desert
It’s very very dry here
I'm confused. This was the 'Summer VHF/UHF Field Day'... clearly you got it wrong. I'm [stupidly] sun burnt from my effort [Oh yeah, that's right, I live in the sub-Tropics.... I like it up here ;) ]
Ha...Ha...
Yes, we had topsy-turvy seasons this year for the VHF/UHF Field Days in southern VK. Winter's had better weather than summer's, eg ua-cam.com/video/vWJi_UHThLA/v-deo.html
Hell just talk to one for 2 min and you will see they are nuckin futs !!!
