A video log of our adventure hiking on Mt Herman. My goats Rooster & Peanut dance on the rocks while the 'old goat' works 20m SSB. FT-817 and Buddistick made it all the way to Fairbanks! Not bad for the bottom of the solar cycle.

  • Goat hiker- Awesome venture there. What frequency do HF Pack Operations use? You have sparked my interest. Bill WJ2L/4

  • @wj2l ...14,342.5 & 18,157.5 are the most used. Just google HFpack they have website.

    CU on the bands ...wGOAT

  • Wow! What fun! For me, the best part was when the goat looked into the camera and 'said', 5 Watts? That was hilarious! I'm going for my exam Friday to upgrade to general. Now I can hardly wait! The video really showed the sense of adventure and discovery that I find in ham radio. Were these contacts prearranged or was it a net? Let me know, I may be trying to reach you in a month or two on your next mountaintop expedition.

  • GL on you test!! QSOs were just the luck of who was out there listen? It's part of the magic of ham radio you never know who you're gone to make contact with! But doing it someplace adventurous makes it all the sweeter! Have FUN! Steve/R&P

  • That is just too cool of a video. Makes me wish I could grab a radio and be there with you and the goats! Fantastic scenery, great contacts and great companions. 73, Steve KJ4KKI EM66 KY

  • Hi, very nice vid ! :)

    But got a question, i saw ki0pf carrying an old SEL made german army SEM 35 tranceiver, i own two of these, but i can't find the original antenna... absolutely nowhere :\

    So maybe you or one of your friends could help me out and give me some advice where to get one.
