Nice video! Is that an FT-450 or FT-950? Were you running an amplifier or 'barefoot'?

[KC2UOO]

FT-450, running up to my home brewed Dipole 32 feet each leg, into 450 ohm ladder line, into 4 to 1 Balun into the Auto tuner =)

I called you tell i was blue in the face and never got a contact though. I was running VO1AA.

hope you all did well!

Every time I CQ'ed it came back that loud and just madness.. I tried pulling a few weaker sounds out but every time id just get frustrated on the 4 and 5th time trying to get 1/2 a call sign..  had to prioritize

My god! What will it be when you'll began contesting?

[KC2UOO]

Lets hope I dont get hooked... I might be a big contender :D not bad for a new guy huh? :D

[sophiegromit]

Very nice! One of my rigs is an FT-450AT, and I often run it into a GAP 'Titan' vertical. Have had excellent results!
