Spartan Sprint QRP Contest from my Kayak

I always though it would be fun to operate my Ham Radio station from a boat. After I'd read Jim W1PID's web page a year or so ago about when he had operated from his kayak on Hermit Lake. So I put my IC703 in a dry bag and rigged up the Buddipole Vertical in my kayak. So who's my contact no other than Jim/W1PID! My latest inspiration was my friend Jean-Pierre Va2SG's "Life is Too Short for QRO" video at:

Enjoyed the video. Excellent from beginning to end. Good photography and photo lay overs. Also enjoyed listening to the Morse code (CW) throughout the video. That cam at the front end of the kayak was great !!
