Just did another POTA and decided to film the area afterwords. My dash cam that usually records the activation got accidentally unplugged from the USB port, so I did not record that part. I know how exciting that is LOL It was fun with 36 qso on 10 meters, 8 qso on 15 meters and 31 on 12 meters. Ended the day with John KT6E from Montana and a great rag-chew QSO. 73 K5APD

Hackberry Lake OHV Use Area BLM Recreation Management Area. Now that is a mouth full! Brand new POTA area east of Carlsbad New Mexico in the middle of no where. Was totally un-prepared. Was just going to scope out the site and decided to activate it. Fortunately the first guy spotted me on the POTA spots page. It took off after and I got 16 contacts. Had QRM, tuner upper, and there was a CQ con...

Went on state Highway 2 to avoid following wide loads that blocked both lanes of Highway 285. First town was Lake Arthur, then Hagerman, Dexter, Roswell. Before entering Roswell we went to Blair's trading post in East Grand Plains. After went to Roswell and ate at the Golden Corral. Gassed up at Allsups and then took some back roads I may have or not been on before, on the way back to Artesia. ...

Do you think you could put an 8 band 80 m cobweb on it?
Kind of thin metal. Maybe, but I would guy it. If you have a Harbor Freight in your area you may check it before you buy.
What mount on the box did you use for the antenna ? I’ve been trying to find one like that?
thank you this shit is so dope
I enjoy the Artesia area. It's a good destination for small airplane travel from Southeast Texas to Southern NM. Easy to pick up a rent car and drive all over the area - Cloudcroft, Roswell, White Sands.
Back in the day, I used to do NDT, and there was a mess of gas pipelines that were installed north of Roswell by the old rock school house. on the weekend we used to scout around the area attractions, one being Lake Arthur, and Carlsbad caverns. Course you had to go through Artesia to get anywhere south of Roswell. Somewhere down there is the Nuclear waste storage place. still looks the same. Empty.
could you use this setup with a vhf antenna?
I drive through there a lot I'm from Cruces and no joke there ain't much.
Wow. I've just read a few fictional books, and the stories were set out in that empty desert. Its cool to see like this. Thanks.
Looks like Tucson
Hello Jim, I have lived in Carlsbad 33 years now and did not know of the Butterfield stage ruins between Carlsbad and Artesia until I saw your older video. My question to you sir, Is the road to this place require a high clearance vehicle or can I drive in a car?
I would not advise driving to it in a car. You have to drive about a mile on very rough dirt road. Also when I used to go down to it there was a few places mesquite bushes would scratch the sides of my 2006 Ford Ranger. I would not even try with my full size 2015 truck I have now. Hiking from the highway should be ok for a half way fit person.

No car, dirt road is too rough. It is maybe a mile or two from White Pine Highway. Also a vehicle has to go through a gauntlet of mesquite bushes to get there. On my old 2003 Ford Ranger I would scrape both sides of the pickup getting to it. I have not been there since I bought my full size 2015 Ford F-150. Could hike there from the asphalt I guess.
I was born in lovington
Poor video due to you can't talk

What was the purpose of this video???
None really, but it sure beats videos of crime, tik-tok "stars" making an ass of themselves, stupid human tricks, and someone's puppy. The boredom of this is kind of soothing.
I'm still new to this and was searching for "flag pole" antenna. The way I made mine was just to use the flag pole as something with height, and attached an antenna to the top with clamps. Am I supposed to attach the antenna to the actual flagpole to conduct though? Or is this literally an entire flagpole AS the antenna itself?
Yes the flag pole itself is the antenna. Each section is electrically connected to each other. Then I have a 80 meter Hustler resonator on the top if I remember correctly. I have a section of PVC pipe in cement in the ground. The pole is slipped inside the PVC pipe that came with this flag pole. To keep the pole isolated from the ground I have a round piece of hard rubber/plastic under the pole so the pole never touches the earth. The center conductor of the coax is attached to the flag pole(antenna) and the coax shield is attached to ground. I have one short ground radial buried to help get the swr down on all the bands I use. If you have the room the pole can easily hold a dipole, end fed, etc. wire antenna. Just have the wire antenna isolated from the metal pole. The pole has a thin coating of paint that will not conduct rf energy to each section so I had to scrape off some of the paint on each side of the joint's and jumper it with a metal braid. I would bet those expensive flag pole antennas work in a similar way. They probably have a balun or something though. I was just curious if I could construct on the cheap a flag pole antenna. It is ok but not great. A whole lot of of ground radials would be better for this antenna . I have most of the parts of a Hustler 6BTV antenna and hated digging trenches for all those ground radials. They say just lay the ground radials on the ground and eventually the grass will swallow them up. Not here, we have been in a decades long drought here in south eastern New Mexico and the only things that grow in my back yard are occasional weeds. I ran over the ground radials too many times mowing the weeds down that I finally just yanked the wires all out of the ground and packed up the 6BTV antenna. I have a antenna for POTA using a 17 foot Chameleon telescoping antenna and 5 ground radials that I just spread over the ground, work good for portable operation, especially on 20 meters. I used to have videos on here showing that setup, but the state park ranger said I could not film in a NM state park. I did not argue just followed orders. So those videos I took down. Good luck and have fun experimenting. 73 Jim K5APD

This is the video of Lloyd deciding if he wanted to get into flying radio controlled aircraft. Rest in Peace LLyod. Hope to Fly with you on the other side sometime.
Good job on the Video.....We lived there in the 50,s and 60,s....Dad had a shoe store there....I dident see anything that I remember...It sure looks way different.......Thanks.................John.
Everything OK?
Were supposed to hear something soon.
Looks like some place that is flat.
It's not over the police dept.
Why would you say that Lloyd?
I woyld use a separate mounting pole at base and hydraulic steaph clamps to attach antenna to mounting pole,,always use steenless steel fittings.
Looks like alot of work
If it was a cooler day things would of been easier. Of course we are both very out of shape.
@@K5APD Just wondering, how much did it cost? Wife's car got its front end taken off a few weeks ago and we are thinking about parking it in front of the house.
Jeeez. The guy with the hat on is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
He never listens to me and it was very hot that day. We were both close to heat exhaustion.
Watch the street crossings, remember what happened to your old work truck.
Ya my street has crazy drivers.
Southwest Germany is waving a Hand into New Mexico. Try to stay away from Rattlers and Scorpions. Happy Weekend 💯👌🙋♂
Watch our for snakes
Also, nice looking truck you got there.
Have a Hex beam now. The hexbeam works great lower. I cannot really get anything higher in my back yard than 30 feet.
It is OK but not great...
I would not use the USB cable to interface to the radio.. My experience was the computer would do weird things. I do use this when at home to transpose the written log from the field.
I don't really use this coil anymore. IMO it is just to bulky and makes the setup wobbly in the wind.

I would NOT recommend this wing for anyone new to flying. My first flight was perfect. I was never able to have another successful flight with it since. Since I have a shoulder injury I am no longer able to give it a good chuck and I think that may have something to do with it. I loved the full sized version, but that is Huge. Since have moved on, just too many government regulations now, even for foamies!
Back then a person could actually fly a sail plane as intended. I used to turn off the motor and then let the thermals catch it. Was able to stay in the air for over an hour.
Good old F-450. Man those were the days. Fun then, now Karens everywhere.😒

The Free BLM side of Brantley Lake.
This is the free side (BLM land) of Brantley Lake. I will never again go to the pay area, even though I still have a day pass for the end of the year. Enough said about that! 😕
As I recall, the light poles were about 30-40 feet tall.
I wish I could get my Hexbeam antenna that tall.
