Great video…. looks a nice spot for camping ( and radio ) :-)….. cheers 73
Good stuff Carl, as always. Your enthusiasm is as ever through the roof ????.
I’ve been out this evening hunting round for an ‘high spot’ to act as net control for our North East 2m FM net and found a great spot (had to get away from usual one as the interference from mil data burst was crazy on 2 m). Anyway, we’re kicking it off this Saturday between 7-8pm on 145.425MHz, if you’re out and about then on a bit of high ground give it a go, don’t forget the 6m net on Sunday too, same time on 50.575MHz FM. If you want I can add you to the WhatsApp groups and also remind you on ‘Muddy Hills’ ??
Keep up the good work Carl……Paul ????
Always enjoy ur Vids, Informative, In Places funny with ur little Quips n way u get distracted n talk about si ething else then back on track again lol
Outdoor radio is all I do.
I don't have a home base.
Going into the nature gives radio legitimacy and purpose.
Enjoyed your videos and learn a lot thanks Carol. I think the word i am looking for is motivation, to get back on 2m. MM0MYL Myles.
Nice to see you out and about Carl, simple set up but seemed to do well. I find QSO's on 2m/70cm at times more challenging then HF as people seem reluctant to speak outside there usual familiar contact groups. 73s. hope the weather held up for the star gazing in the end.
Thanks Carl.. Enjoyed the vid… I'm a caravanner so need to get the radio going on my camping trips! As someone contemplating getting back into the hobby, I've been looking at the Yaesu 857 as a means of getting all bands in one box! Looks a great radio, would you buy it again if you were looking?
Good to see you taking a break from the rigors of the admin job. It looked slightly overwhelming…so kudos for getting outside with a radio before you suffered from burnout. ?
Another great show Carl.
It’s great you get to spend time with your Daughter camping
God Bless 73.
Hi Carl.
Can you give me a shout on 145.525 when you get a moment.
I am also in IO82VX

Great vid Carl – need to get my arse out and get some portable done. We are in Spring here now so it's slowly warming up. 73 de VK6HIL
Couple of pieces of white plastic waste pipe telescoped inside one another is another simple 12-15 foot mast option. Cheers for the video.
Very enjoyable vid. I'm not even a ham but thinking about it. Subscribed and looking forward to some more.. Stay safe.
Hi Carl, great video again. Just encouraged to go out with some Ham Gear and play on the bands vy73s de DG1VJ
Very cool:) do you have a video do you setting up your kit?
Well done —- thx
Great vid thank you!
Re: Your last comments, VHF and UHF both very quiet down here. Mad really, UHF is a particularly good band to enjoy. Always seems like the quality if the audio/signal is much higher than VHF. Looking forward to getting and out and up very soon!
Enjoyed this video a lot, Carl, a very nice location a great place to play radio. I agree with your philosophy that you can't take too much stuff, as I always say it is better to Tham have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Thanks for sharing Carl, keep it up!
