I'm hooked! I'm a Minnesota boy myself and may just have to give this a try. I'm sure my wife would rather me be calling CQ out on the lake as well. :) 73's KB0CIF
@N2LRB Hi, Sorry condx were not good for us on Jan. 7th. I went out today on the ice for about 5 hours. I normally run 100 watts from the fish house but today I ran 50 watts. I would recommend buying an Interstate battery. Those have worked the best for me. I worked 25 different states and had 58 QSOs. Also worked EA8 in the Canary Islands and a guy in Puerto Rico, plus caught 2 northern pike. Ran the Icom 746 to a Transworld antenna. .
@Penn1969 Hi, Have had many QSOs interrupted by a fish. It gets abit nuts then. The camera allows me to see somethings I have never seen before...like a northern pike that will be 2 inches from the bait and just stay there suspended for the longest time before it strikes, or an eelpout creeping along the bottom. It adds a dimension to the hobby I could have never even imagined.
I think I need to go take a very hot shower now lol. Very nice video and nice set-up but I'll do my fishin down here on the Gulf when its 90 with 100% humidity and I don't need a propane heater. Look forward to workin you one day. 73 de W6CSA/5
It was a pleasure speaking to you yesterday. Sorry the band conditions did not allow you to hear me well. Great videos. Question. What brand deep cycle battery do you use. I am looking for something which will last a while but still allow me to use at least 20-25 watts of power. Or do you use less?
Joe,take a look at Power-Sonic AGM.High Discharge Rate batteries.High quality and currently in use by the US Navy,US Coast Guard,and the US Air Force.I have 10.5,21,31,and 55ah batteries depending on application.73..Dennis W7KB.
That is very cool, what happens when you're in the middle of a QSO and you hook into a fish :-)? Why do you use the camera ? I would have thought that it's a lot more exciting waiting for the rod to start knocking.

Great video! And what a powerful signal you were putting in here tonight / this morning on 40m

Very coincidental I heard you on the air last night and then also saw the Facebook post you made last night on the CQ page. 73!

Awesome! Though, I'd rather HF than ice fish. I'm more of a warm weather type.
nice setup brother. you dont worry about waking up dead with that propane heater? or, do you have the fish house vented somehow? curious.
The ice left us on April 4th (earliest ever)...Now it's on to marine mobile ｄ(ºộº)ｂ
nice video, 73 from LY3NHF
Which particular Interstate Battery do you use? I might want to order the same one.
is it illegal to have a portable handheld hamradio in idaho
Cool, but warming up, hamshack. Randy
just getting in the hobby need help
Why would anyone fish for ice?
For the same reason that trap shooters shoot traps, bow hunters hunt bows and table tennis players serve tables.
It's illegal if you don't have the proper license to use it.
