Ham radio operators N2JMH Jim and N2WVK Todd constructed this amateur radio contest ROVER. Roving and hilltoping during contests won the rover many awards. the rover was equiped to cover all bands from 50mhz to 10 ghz and lazer light contacts. We operated modes didital,cw,fm and ssb phone. There is 2 full stations to accomidate 2 operators all bands. 3 rotating masts allowed for multiple contacts fast while grid hopping. One stack was fully rotatable while on the fly and multiple vertical antennas were switched for mobile operation. Miacom dishes for 5 and 10Ghz with homebrew copper waterpipe feeds yealded many u wave contacts. The surplus military 3 section crank up masts were cranked up using a dewalt drill. Once parked it took about 2 minutes to set up and begin high power long distance beaming of our signal. Heavy duty alternator and marine batteries allowd for high power amps on all bands. This video was recorded by Ev W2EV and was a snow coverd hilltop in western NY.

  • To some hams this is "mine is bigger than yours"

  • This is my favorite video on all of youtube.

  • You're not going to get any gals with that thing. I've never met a ham that didn't have something wrong with him.

  • This is insane. I like it!

  • ok, now how about a walk through, i'd like to see details.

    de oy1r.

  • OMG that dude in the back @ 0:40 sounds and looks a little bit like Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs!!!!!!

  • @mbtjr Dude Limp Bizkit is the shit and I think it will do much for the hobby being as this song is aimed at the younger generation. I'm 26 and I like it maybe some other people my age will see this video and hear the music and realize that not everything in ham radio is "hi hi old man my colostomy bag is almost full so i have to change it after i drink coffee with the xyl." Just because it is not aimed at the 50+ year veteran hams doesn't mean it's not good for the hobby.
