2009 Ham14er - NØB on VHF w/Rooster & Peanut

Amateur Radio operators from around Colorado climb many of Colorado's 14,000-foot mountains to set up amateur radio stations in an effort to communicate with other radio amateurs across the state and around the world every second Sunday in August. This video is about N0B's adventure up Mt Humboldt (14,065ft) with Guy/N7UN and Steve/wg0at and their faithful sherpa goats Rooster and Peanut,

Great Video Steve, How does the 817 do with moisture.

[goathiker]

So far so good, but it's not rated waterproof or even water resistant so keeping it protected from moisture is always a concern. I recently lost an HT to water damage so I know it can happen!

The goat cam is GREAT!! What is the music soundtrack? Thanks for the excellent video.

Nice approach to the wG0AT theme. This vid rocks. Thanks Steve, Hope to work you soon..

Going back in to Ham radio. Grew up in Colorado, but I am afraid that at 59 and 20 years of living near sea level my mountain climbing days are over. Looks like great fun though. Love the videos.

Just classic....

Fantastic video Steve! Absolutely beautiful scenery!

[N9SKN]

Hats off to yourself, Guy, and the others that made your summit a success.

Like I said before - you two make my QRP trips to the park seems like 'a walk in the park'.

Thanks, I have a good friend K0NK , Jim who is a avid backpacker and we have kept CW schedules for years with him while he is backpacking in the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. He uses a Heath HW 8 and has mentioned there have been times when water got into the radio and it survived. We were talking about how the 817 would do with its high impedance circuitry if it got even a little wet.
