I always though it would be fun to operate my Ham Radio station from a boat. After I’d read Jim W1PID’s web page a year or so ago about when he had operated from his kayak on Hermit Lake. So I put my IC703 in a dry bag and rigged up the Buddipole Vertical in my kayak. So who’s my contact no other than Jim/W1PID! My latest inspiration was my friend Jean-Pierre Va2SG’s “Life is Too Short for QRO” video at: www.youtube.com
