I have no idea how I got here or what just happened but congrats man, sounds like you just did something super badass!
-
Great job! And I see that your station's gear collection has been growing quite a bit since you started! Currently reading "Now You're Talking!" and hope to catch you on the air some time in the future!
-
Now that is cool. You are both a good and bad influence!!!! Now I wanna get started doing this!!! Very very cool, sir!

USNERDOC: Congrats on the contact. Now how about showing us & telling us a little bit about the "Ham" box used in this vid.
Thanks 73's

Congratulations. It feels great making a QSO that far away doesn't it? How many watts were you using? You said you were using "low power" but your scrolling text said something about 100 watts.

Cool contact, David. Nice work and persistence. Contesters and DXpedition hams need to give real RS reports instead of the obligatory 59 (they kept hearing your call wrong, so you weren't 59.) Real reports help other operators better understand and troubleshoot equipment and propogation. The lies contesters and DXpeditioners give are a diservice ham radio. 73 W0TLP

@USNERDOC I wonder if atmospheric conditions there limit contacts?

You the MAN! It was great hearing them say your callsign & then to hear your reaction. I'm glad you thought to set the camera up, very cool my friend.

Friggin Awesome Doc!!! Awesome QSO! Man I can not wait to get a radio and start! You have inspired me man. Also got the AMP-3 gonna do a vid on it! BTW have you tried contacting the Antarctic SouthPole Station? I know McMurdo had a Hamshack when I was there as did the South Pole Station! That would be almost as cool as talking to Astrowheels!! God Bless You Sir.

@1TacticalMedic - I have tried contacting the South Pole. I heard them clearly one day but could catch them . . . SO . . . still trying!

I would like to say it's all Greek to me, but I am Greek and I still don't understand Bingo Bango Bongo! Roger that! Maybe give us a simple Cliff Notes tutorial of ham radio.

@12gn12 - WIll do . . . I do have a link for a PDF on my channel page that is a basic entry primer for HAM radio.
So, what did I just do . . .
I was on 10 meters SSB (single side band . . . upper side band by convention) and made a contact (QSO) with a DX (long distance) station operating on a mountain top on Malpelo Island off the Columbian coast in South America with a very modest station: Yaesu FT-857D and a Buddistick antenna sitting on my front porch.
Hope that helps!
