While activating Mt Herman 9063' for Summits on the Air ... Posted by: goathiker
Video duration: 83 seconds While activating Mt Herman 9063' for Summits on the Air I used an AlexLoop mag loop antenna. By chance I make contact with Mike WA8EBM who's also using a AlexLoop on 15m. SF was over 140 and conditions were good.

10m ARRL Contest & Missing Log Posted by: goathiker
Video duration: 256 seconds Goats and I decide to play in the 10m ARRL contest on top of Mt Herman. We put up a Buddipole 2-el 10m yagi and with 5-watts QRP we work the world. But can't prove it because my goat Rooster eats the log sheets.

NW5W First SOTA Activation on Mt Herman Posted by: goathiker
Video duration: 192 seconds Chris/NW5W sent out a message he had planned to activate Mt Herman for Summits on the Air. Trailhead being 15-minutes from the house we (goats & I) decide to drop in on him but instead we arrive before him. The smiles on Chris' face indicated the FUN had on his first SOTA outing!

Dayhike to Peak 9111 and my EFHW Antenna Posted by: goathiker
Video duration: 401 seconds While horse camping in the Tarryalls, I hike up to a nearby peak named 9111. I deployed my End Fed Half Wave EFHW antenna and used Stu/KI6J's EFHW-tuner once I reached the summit. Rooster and Peanut weren't with me instead they were home watching the Animal Planet Related: efhw, antenna, ki6j, matchingunit, 50ohms, tuner, qrp, sota, goats, n0tu, n7un, fd, field, day, dx, hfpack, wg0at, buddipole, cw, morse, code, arrl, n0b, icom, yaesu, ats3, radioaficionados, hamradio, radio, outdoor, ft817, qso, expedition, a123battery, summits, amateurfunk, lostcreekwildreness, tarryall, peak Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

Bison Peak before Black Bear Sighting Posted by: goathiker
Video duration: 143 seconds Note the goats 'alert' on something? At first you can see Chuck in the open field (left of goats) taking photos of the tall spire of rock. Not in the video but the huge black bear runs across same open field several minutes later!

I have one of these loops from PY1AHD and I think they are the best all round portable QRP antenna on the market. I would like? to see the remote tuning part be made available commercially too, as operating the radio from within a tent/caravan/indoors would not need to keep going outside. Great video - 73 Mike M0SAZ

Hi Steve, I am really happy to see your perfect made video. Steve WGOAT, Roaster and Peanut are the most well known personalities on the HFpack field Mike WA8EBM was testing his AlexLoop Walkham for the? first time and. Mike's super station can be seen on QRZ. com. I am hardly working for the last 10 years designing and field testing SML antennas, and I am really happy with this video. 73 to all and thank you very much. PY1AHD ALEX Alexandre Grimberg PY1AHD

Sweet antenna for SOTA, Steve...? FB! (Enjoy the Ice tomorow hope the fish are bitin')

Very cool Steve! Hopefully you will do a review? discussing the AlexLoop antenna. 73!
By: N2RRAny. on 12 Jan 12, 14:41:49
@goathiker - you'll surely know the difference since you have much experience with the buddie pole and? other antennas. Let us know how that pans out. I still would like to have an Alex Loop in my QRP arsenal. 73!
By: goathiker. on 12 Jan 12, 14:13:00
@N2RRAny ...It's hard to quantify the directivity. I would swing the loop and the signal would bounce up for 1-sec then drop the next! QSB was making it rough to pin point loop's directivity? ...if anything it seemed sorta broad with it's null being easier to determine. I just need more time with it to honestly say!

FB? ANT!!

Nice antenna/demonstration? - thanks Steve!
By: N2RRAny. on 12 Jan 12, 04:31:43
I've built these for QRO capability and they work great. Guess I could easy build one for QRP but like the way Alex had simplified? the build for portable use. In next vid would be nice to see how much Directivity there is on it. When you turned it you mentioned a better signal strength. How much? 73!
