20 Meter Mobile Operation NPOTA Badlands Nat Park

Operating from my vehicle in Badlands National Park for the ARRL National Parks On The Air. I'm using an Icom 7000 and Alpha MOTO antenna mounted on my roof rack. The latop is a Lenovo P580 and I'm using HRD to log QSOs.

If you're interested in mobile operation I can recommend the Icom 7000. It's a good all around transceiver, has an easy to read LCD, nice tx audio using the stock mic and a very good manual notch filter, NB and NR. With a little practice anyone can become proficient with it. With the detachable control head you can probably find a nice location to mount it. Mine is mounted with a flexible RAM mount attached to my front seat bolt. The main unit is located behind my center console and I have an external speaker mounted on the pillar on the driver's side where the upper portion of the seat belt attaches. (See video)

This is in the early afternoon and I am able to make 20 QSOs in the 9 minute clip.
