Isaac and T-Rex is what got me onto this path, ultimately finding your channel. Now coms between you and Isaac makes this full circle . 👍
-
Pretty cool to hear your call sign on a great channel such as yours. Happy to make the contact. Keep them coming.
-
Wind noise, not even remotely problematic. Content, spot on! Thank you!
-
Honestly if you didn’t mention the wind noise I don’t think I would’ve noticed it. Your audio was crisp and clear. It’s amazing how well a phone does for video.
-
I've been waiting for this link up between Tech Prepper and T-Rex Arms. Looking forward to more of these and hopefully the other half of the "convo."
-
Love the real world testing you. do. Thanks for sharing your progress. Learning a lot.
-
thanks for sharing the exercise and report! really enjoy picking up on obstacles you overcome along the way with the no random contacts. keep up the awesome work!
-
I travel nationwide for work and been employing these methods for targeted contacts with people looking for POTA contacts in specific states. Doing the prep work including times, modes, bands, etc based on target location is an incredible skill building exercise and gratifying on completion. Great video.
-
Excellent video. I'd really like if you would fully include us on the G90 setup. A nice Yaesu is not in the budget, but I do have an affordable G90 and a FZ-M1. Thanks for your hard work!
-
Fascinating stuff. Looking forward to your collab with Isaac!
-
Enjoy your videos greatly. I usually listen on 10m to see what I can hear with my hamstick antenna. From central FL I pickup a lot out west in CO and AZ and quite a bit in the north east.
-
Well done. Very helpful to anyone wanting to get into comms in general. I use a Buddistick on terrain like yours, but I have to say, the ROI using your 10 dollar antenna is amazing. Thumbs up.

As i have been working with js8 call, i realize in the real world how much farther it goes on such low power. I will still use voice, but adding js8 training.
-
It's not the plan; it's the planning! Thank you for another great portable video. Going out to run some VARA! 73

As always, Gastone, you CRUSHED it!
-
This is the core of it all, right here. Some homework + modest simple gear = success. You make it look easy but it is not. The homework towards that targeted contact is the biggest factor in success or failure. Anyone who thinks they can just jump on the air and make the contact without doing the homework will be in for a fast lesson. Great work as always my friend. 73 KC8OWL

I learned tautline hitch in Boy Scouts several decades ago. Now re-purposed of course for antennas.
-
Such good work!
-
Id love to team up with you for a video like this. Im also a general level operator. Im in missouri. Im also focused on portable comms. And id love to hit the field, set up and see if we could make comms. Im running a ft891, signal link, and cf20 tough book. Also make my own antennas. Been following you for awhile. Definitely love the ideas i get from your videos.
