Home :: Ham Radio :: Operating Portable
|
One of the greatest joys you can have in ham radio is portable operations and field day. Both allow you to enjoy nature and go out of the big
cities where no interferance is. Although I operate in many places my favorite is in the cabin, about an hours drive from my home qth. I use
an elliminator and generator for power and used to operate from a 20m antenna, however in june 2007 I replaced it with a multiband 80-40-20 multiband dipole. Below are
some of the pictures I have taken while operating. As well I have a short video-> poor quality as its taken with a digital cam.
Video showing my portable setup. I use the elminator to power the radio, a battery pack to power the tuner and the laptop runs nice for 4 hours on its own battery. Solar cells help but it is rough going in newfoundland and usually a generator is a bit better for most ocasions.

Little cabin near by my home town makes a nice spot for operating in the woods
The 20m dipole

Minus the antenna and eliminator, the radio power supply, tuner, cables, etc. Although the 20m antenna can fit in there as well. I cut out a foam block to keep the ft-857d nice n snug. When you have soo much money invested in your equipment its always nice to protect it.
