Uploaded by jerryrp on Aug 23, 2010

This video was taken at the ARRL 2010 Field Day site for the Gulf Coast Amateur Radio Club located in New Port Richey. This was our first attempt at flying a helium balloon with a long wire attached. We used a single conductor 24 gauge wire of 130 feet long. Made successful voice and digital contacts around the country with other clubs.

A big thanks to Bill NG4L who recorded and edit this video.

This video is about QRPTTF which is one of my favorite QRP contests. It’s held in late April and a great chance to get out of the house and into the field with your radio gear and get on the air with your some of QRP buddies. This year the theme was “Out Back”. But our weather snow, rain and strong winds keep us goats at home. So we setup in the goat barn and stoked the wood stove to keep warm. We made about 50 contacts and enjoyed the day in spite of our ‘spring’ weather!
