Ham Radio: Portable DX on 10 & 12 Metres

A couple of hours yielded some nice results on my two favourite HF bands!

Another great effort Tim.

I recently tried breaking the habit of a lifetime by activating a SOTA summit on the higher HF bands (instead of my usual 40m & 20m) with some pretty good results. I just need to get round to editing the footage & uploading the video from that outing!

Have you ever constructed a .7 wavelength antenna you describe in your vertical antenna videos?

Hi Tim love watching your videos I too have similar setup to you with the trusty ampro antennas and the MRQ 213 whip. I have found that I get better results with the Ampro Antennas over the MRQ can you tell me your thoughts on this. Regards M7 JLX

12m doing the biz there Mate. Some different properties than 10m. Makes me think a Hexbeam for 15/12/10/6 would good.

Hello Tim ... very nice QSO's ... your setup is running very well 😉
How much power you've been operating with? 50/100 W
The Ultra Max battery is the solution I was looking for
Many thanks for sharing / 73

Nice video Tim. Not had much time to do radio of late. Must try harder ! Really only have time at night, and as you know this time of year is not that exciting. Mark, 2E0MSR / PS just watched again. Amazing 10M during the day, must try Wednesday !!

Hi Tim have you had that battery long, was thinking of getting one myself

[timdbl]

Hi Tim, great craic! On my car, I tried a Hustler extender rod to make the radiator 20' long i.e 5/8 wave on 10m.... seemed to go well... and good down to about 10 MHz ... using roof-top ATU of course
