I was too eager to play with numerous radio setups in one day, it was a very hot day as well, that's my excuse for making a pigs ear out of both radio set ups. I did however look back on the day with a sense of enjoyment, I just wished I'd told my face that on the day.
Equipment used:
Icom IC 9700
Icom IC 7200
M1ECC antenna
Diamond 5 elelment 144mhz yagi
Diamond? telescopic mast
Caravan jockey wheel clamps
I also used got to try out the All Powers S300 Power bank which performed well on the day charging laptops, phones and powered the LED lights at night. The S300 is an affordable power supply, feels well built and the design of it means it easily fits in the back of a busy car or truck.
