I really appreciate this! Ordering cables right now! N8VSB

I love it! I’m going to give it a try. I really appreciate your time and help! N8VSB

What key is that?

At first I was wondering why 6 hours. My friend and I set up site in about 2 hours, and that is using a more difficult mast. Then looking at the beam when he pulled it down, I realized...oh yeah that would take some time. Then was wondering why not a Buddy Hexbeam, but the beam he has I bet has more gain. It is a awesome setup. I wonder if that yagi could be modified to make the setup easier. Aim High.

PCB is made of fiberglass nowadays

Can you do this with a KX3?

Another great video! Can't wait to get our QMX-mini. Until then, we love our QCX-mini. Well done on the closed captions so that folks can turn it on or off. Did you have to hand create those? What mic do you use to record the CW? We have DJI mics and when we plug them into the QCX-mini, it won't transmit.

Remember the first day I Saw this video, now after a 1.5 weeks of practicing I can identify more prosigns, you have a good punctuation. 73s

Love those Tenba cable pouches!

AL7F has a similar setup.

Great video.

Haha. Perfect match.

As a former TV news photog who used to operate a truck (and many others) like it, this is my dream vehicle for my own rover setup for contesting! Someday. 73! Michael-WA5AZQ

I’m new to CW and I am slower than you are sending so I wouldn’t answer you out of intimidation. I answer cq’s that are around my speed of 12 WPM. In conversations with other hams they say the same. You are fast and obviously very good. I wonder if you sent slower you would have more QSO’s? Thanks for the video

What about self defense?

That rolling shack looks like a lot of fun! Very impressive.

My first QCX mini for the 40m band, I soldered in the complex toroid the wrong way ....and wrecked it desoldering it! Second time lucky. I have also built the QCX + for 160m a QMX + and a QDX all working well. MY QMX (small one not working) . Hans Somers from QRP Labs says that beginner kit builders are more successful at building his kits because they read the instructions thoroughly! The BS170 are field effect transistors, they are for the final PA stage that generates the RF for transmit! 73 de VK2AOE...I also have a ginger cat! Great video

Really helpful thanks

Very helpful sir. Would like to see what you would recommend for cold weather or during towards those seasons SEMPER FI

This is awesome

HELL YEAH! This is my guy, not just some outdoor gear guy showing me whoever is paying them that week.

Love it.

Cool video Mark!!!

I want one of those vans

PLease,please,please, do not blow the solderings, it will make a cold contact and cannot work well.

Great setup. I love the Nemo Tensor pad. Great for side sleepers.

Thanks for posting this. I have a kx3 and wanted to try ft8. So, I downloaded the app. When I try to enter my password it shows in red. When I hit enter it says there is a problem with call sign. I’m wondering if you had the same problem? I email the developer and have not heard back. Just wanted to reach out and see if it’s just me. lol. Anyway great video. Look forward to hopefully trying this. de K9raa

Chuffing nice mate!

Awesome 👌

Cool Van !!!

My wife tells all her friends that’s what my ATAs looks like

Nice rig. And with a single video, the market for old TV news vans jumped 500%. 😊

great Job on both the activation, sticking with CW and taking a cat up a mountain! saddly I'ma Male Doglover who's68 andstill trying to motivate myself to learn morse after 45 years licenced (I have used it in the past to get contacts on VHF as I'm qrp nut here 🤣) Nick (G8SYE)

Heh. I was gonna say that looks familiar. We still have some in the garage but they don’t go out much anymore. Lol. 73 de KC9JHY

Great video 👋🏻Good stuff, 👍🏽 hope to work ya soon, 73 🎙Ira

This is AWESOME! I don't need one but boy am I gonna drive slow past the local TV station from now on 😂

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 some day we will meet on a mountain

breathtaking setup, congrats! 73

do you know a pat mcfarlane

Great video thanks for making it! I've been curious about his van setup for quite some time now.

love it!

I've been keeping an eye out for one. Awesome van! 73 de W6OBB

Your video is good for learing more practiclly since the sound of messages are actually using for morse communication.

Great video and well-explained. Thank you Mark (and for all the times you have hunted me in POTA too!). 73

I am new to CW. Is it necessary to have an antenna tuner to send CW on a QCX Mini? Can I send CW without an antenna tuner?

...that's ridiculous. I love it!

Keep it up

Nice! Worked you voice VHF on Grass Mtn on 6/28. Good to see you on here. Subbed.

How fun! Just subscribed. We take our cat hiking but haven't brought him on a sota yet. We'll add you to ham alert and hope to catch you on the air! 73 Mike N4FFF es Becky N4BKY

Wow, very helpful! I’m learning and trying to do so at 18 wpm. I could make out several characters and can see the value in what you’re doing. So many thanks for posting! I need to learn more about the Elecraft KX2. Had no idea it displayed the characters on its screen. My interest is SOTA/POTA WRP as well. Looks fascinating. KO4GQS
