I love this video, getting the combination of a stunning view and a great 5 watt DX contact in Eastern Europe... is there anything better? Thanks for putting this up, it gives me something to shoot for. 73 - W2DAB

One of these days I'll be listening for you guys and hopefully I'll be upgraded to General at the time, so I can make a contact with you. I've made a few contacts on 10 meters with my FT-817, one of which was around 750 miles, so I know I'll be able to do it with a bit of patience.

Hi Steve,
I was just thinking about The Boys the other day and wondering how they were. Glad to see you're all well and still working the peaks.

Howdy Steve!
It is indeed great to see a new video from you! I too am wondering what the battery pack is that Bob was using. I have yet to earn my 1000 miles/watt, but this video inspires me to keep trying!

@KF7IJZ ...Bob was using an external sealed lead acid battery. I think it was maybe 3AH as it didn't last as long as we'd hoped for maybe 2hrs?. Bob handed me the mic to give another DX station a call (GI4DZE) and once I clicked the mic button the FT817 shut down. I had another battery with me but weather was also saying it was to end the FUN!! (sigh)
