Memorial Day '08 & 20m HFpack - FT817+sloper

My Goats and I hiked up Mt Herman to watch the Thunderbirds practice their flyovers for the AFA graduation ceremony. We also had fun making several QRP ham radio contacts with the FT-817 and sloper dipole

Tks David! I've discovered goats aren't as interested in my coax after I wiped it with hot pepper sauce. I just have to remember after winding it up not to rub my eyes! I discovered this the hard way! ouch! GL w/817

Steve,

Very nice memorial day video! I love how you integraged the flag and the blue angels. Peanut and Rooster looked very content and at least aren't eating the antenna today! :) Very good job on the video - lots of great pictures.

I'm a recent new FT-817ND purchaser and look at all your videos.
