Ham Radio DXpedition into the Needles (part III)

[tmbgator2]

Great video Steve! As usual, inspiration to get radioactive outdoors. What did you do for food by the way? MRE/freezedry or did you cook from scratch? Also, I didn't catch how long you were gone. Looks like an amazing trip. Hope to do something similar someday. Tough to get that kind of scenery in Florida.

I really enjoy all the videos, but especially this series. Great fun, and thanks for putting them online.

Steve and Guy, your videos are an example of FB FB incredible mix of radio and adventure movie making. Keep the incredible work guys, I am hooked!

How did you find the way over there? Did you have GPS?

[goathiker]

Yes. GPS was carried but the rock karins (stacked rocks) were the main markers which lead us back to the trailhead. If not for the karins it would be easy to get lost amongst the rock maze w/o a GPS. And water is very scarce!

[Geistero]

As far as I understood, it's a kind of "civilized" area for hiking? Kind of park that have controlling authorities, rescue services stuff like that?

[vk6radio]

Amazing stuff!... nothing like that here, no mountains, no snow, no coyote's, no mesa,but we do have some desert in the middle of vk6.

a magic dx location you have there HI.

I hope to see you on hfpack freqs soon when we get propagation outside our back yard.

cheers from zone 29 graham vk6ro

Tks Graham! Let's hope some good prop comes soon from cycle-24! Then you'll see me on 20/17/15/10 from the trail w/goats! Cheers, Steve/n0tu

Steve...you're a MASTER! You captured the experience better than I remember it! Where were those rain clouds? A win for the Old Goats QRPexpedition Force!
