Hello, Here is a video and audio copy of me, AF4OD, working W5IB on 144.200 during a nice tropo opening on December 13, 2009. My QTH is located in em72 and W5IB is located in em22. My rig is a Yaesu FT 736r and 400 watts to a Cushcraft 13B2 at 40 feet. The video is being recorded with a simple handheld FLIP video camera. I am sorry unsteady video due to the hand shake. I need some kind of tripod. Hope to work many more in the future. 73 and Good DX! Bill AF4OD
