It's remarkable how good the bands are, when you get away from the steadily rising noise we've gradually become accustomed to in suburbia. Someone else pointed this out recently, I think it was Ben Nock in PW. We're conditioned to a much higher noise floor these days, so signals that aren't pegging the S meter are being ignored. It's time we stopped accepting it so readily, I think.
Yes it was a great video. You made some great contacts. I like the rig as well. Looking at several different models myself. Thats why I watched the video.
Hi Don, Thanks for your comments, well the video gear is very basic, its actually the video facility on my Cannon PowerShot S5IS with the built in mic. Well once again I'm trying to inspire those who believe HF is a lost cause. I hope the consistant results I have been posting here on YouTube actually dispel the myth that there is no propogation Hi! :)
Great video Carl,those stations were good and loud,that antenna is a great performer for portable operation. The audio quality is excellent.Late at night here and listening on headphones,video quality is very professional.73Don,VO1XH

@G0IFI It's surprising how far and remote I have to go to find an electrically quiet location, and your comments are so true

Quick question, what was the music you used at the end?

Mike Oldfield Blue Saloon, if you watch to the end I guess you had some interest in the video content?
