Flight of the Bumble Bees QRP Adventure from Bike Mobile with IC703

Rain was in our afternoon forecast so hiking with the goats for the FOBB contest wasn't in the picture. Instead I headed off on my mountain bike. I pulled off on an overlook high spot along Rampart Range at ~8800ft elevation. Installed my Buddipole whip with coil and put the IC703 on 20m. Made about 25QSOs before the dark clouds and rain chased me home. Video is a log of the stations I talked to.
