I love working portable when ever I can. Here's my first picnic table operation of the year,
February 27, 2018. My little FT-891 on the shore of the Ottawa River on a nice 10 degree C day.


My homebrew 40M fishing pole vertical antenna.


Proud to have worked all 14 RAC stations in 2017


My home brew racing quad with a 1 watt 5.8 gig hz HD video transmiter.
