Ham Radio Portable - Good Clean Fun

Pardon the audio. My buddy Craig and I went up on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina (Mount Pisgah area) to set up a 20 meter dipole and made a few contacts. I kind of nudged Craig to get licensed-up with me a couple of years ago. We go way back in the photography world. Craig's homebrew antenna worked amazingly well.
This isn't an instructional video. It is two friends "nerding out" and having fun on the airwaves. 73
