I thought it would be cool to see some mobile contacts.

I fixed my RFI on 20M and it ended up being a Great day to test it out.
I hit a contest and when I looked up the call signs.... Wow very cool.
I had to do some erands so I tested the radio out which doing so.. SO I didn't try will hard to get these stations... they were 58 to 59's

I have contacted Hawaii, England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Alaska (Dave), and Brazil in the jeep that I can remember.

The DX contest is still going on and 15 and 10m are loaded with contacts.

Multiple JA's today, New Zeland and others were contacted today in the shack.

This is a great hobby! Still looking for a good portable antenna, I can use inside. I have been looking at the Chamelon Antennas either a V1 or V2L. Any thoughts?

Congrats on the contacts! Have you looked at the Moxon antenna? It's an easy antenna to build and has gain over a dipole. You "might" be able to fit it inside... http://www.moxonantennaproject.com/

 

First DX:
Band- 20M
Antenna- ATAS 120
Power & Radio- FT-857d 100w
From and To. CA to HI 2495mi


First International QSO (second DX ever):
Band- 10M
Antenna- ATAS 120
Power & Radio- FT-857d 100w
From and To. CA to Australia 8180 miles

Picked up CA to MT (800mi) on 6m in the jeep w/ the same setup that was a surprise.

I did 44 unique DXCC entities from the base this weekend. At the end of it all I think I may have a chance to win my area on 10m. Wish I'd have thought about that when I was chasing people on the other bands. Not too bad for 100w and a 40m loop. BTW, at least half of my entities were within the 10m Tech band plan. So, I could have "worked the world" w/o upgrading to General or Extra.

 

Checking the log....furthest mobile DX in the past year: 8,043 miles with 9M2ESM in West Malaysia on 10 meters. Rig is IC-706, 100 watts, 102" whip antenna.

P.S. found the eQSL card to back it up:

 

I worked a guy on 10meters with 5 watts from Matagorda Island Texas to the Dominican Republic. Used a 3 Foot Hamstick attached to a ARR mount.
