Follow along with the trials and tribulations of attempting to operate portable outdoors with batteries and temporary antennas . Kind of what the channel is all about.

I set up in my backyard with my IC-718 (at 50 watts), a battery, a solar panel, and my home brew 20 meter vertical. I did ok; I logged 32 contacts just operating sporadically Saturday evening and Sunday morning. There was a lot of QRM during the daylight hours, but was better when the sun went down. I did have a non-field day QSO with VK2CPT in Australia! He gave me a 5-8!

Great set up. I am also a fan of the 718. Simple transceiver for a FD set up. Great results as well and I agree with you on the band conditions. A buddy of mine netted over a 100 qso on 40m on the overnight. Thanks for watching and 73.
Was that Mr Softee I heard?
Yes it was. There may have been a quick break for a pit stop for a nice milk shake to cool us down for working the upcoming pile up. Ok maybe there wasn't a pile up but the shake was still tasty 😂 73. Thanks for watching
What came first, the battery or the radio? :)
All part of the puzzle😂. Thanks for watching. 73
Would a hamster powered radio via a series of those wheel they run inside of be allowed? Asking for a friend.
Hamster powered? For a ham event? Hmmmm. Interesting 😂. PETA may object. Lol thanks for watching. 73
I'm calling PETA! You are torturing that pig, making him carry all your radio stuff
He's a happy ham pig. Works for points in the contests! Thanks for comment . 73
