POTA @ Ochlockonee River State Park (K-1907)

We take the IC-7300 out portable for the first time and get blown away! We tried 10m first for Katie, but had no luck. After switching to 20m, we fall into a pileup from start to finish. Yes, it’s a bit long, but come along for the ride!

I used to work with a band that used to say “let the funk fill your heart”

More power = more people… Nice work. 73!

Great videos guys just discovered your channel, Ive just got into amateur radio ( Years of Cobra 148's in the 80's & 90's ) Ive just got a Yaesu FT DX 10 to kick me off into radio, 73's from the UK 😁

Hello guys. I also have a G90 and a 7300 but have not fired up the 7300 yet. I have too much fun with the 20W G90. I really enjoy the challenge. Still trying to catch you on the air again. Every time Ham-Alert lets me know you are on the air, I am not at home. Had QSOs with Germany and Slovenia last night with the G90 and a 20M Ham-Stick. See you both on the air.

I totally relate to your videos. My wife and I activate together. We have fun and bust each other's chops as well.

Thank you .. although I was not on the air at the time, I look forward to hearing those welcomed words again in a future pileup.. Fun activation and great entertainment.. Thanks for sharing your adventure ! !.. Looking forward to more.. 73 Friends, We Need the FUNK ! ! LOL.. k0klb

[BernieWimmers]

Thanks for the contact! The 7300 is a great little radio. K4JDF

[classicpicker]

Really enjoy your videos! The only time I’ve been able to work you, it didn’t get recorded. Looking forward to working y’all again. Congratulations on the getting the license. Love the 7300.

[stephanhersey]

Always fun to watch your videos. I just got a 7300 and looking forward to doing it's first activation. Looks like you are finding that a few more watts really helps. Keep it up. Steve, k7ofg.

[hamradiobasics]

Well done on handling the pileup Jason ! Like you I prefer a manual logbook.

[TravelinHam]

Great job digging me out of the noise, Katie!!! Conditions in CO were atrocious!

[stevejolley]

Turn Auto Notch on to minimize the folks tuning up on the frequency.

[LBPJ]

Keep making videos 👍🏻
I see the law in US is not as strict as in Norway.
In Norway my wife is not allowed to transmit (speak) over HAM before she has her own call sign, even if she sit next to me when I am speaking.

[arthurjurkowitsch]

Great video. You guys look like you are having fun. Love the videos. Just one question what kind of battery do you use? Keep up the great work. KC2DHL 73 !

[audiesanchez]

Did you use the Bioenno 6Ah for the activation? How long did it last?

[aexo]

Im going to have to put you in ham alert if you get on 40m with the 7300. I live in georgia and cant usually hear you
