Impromptu HF Parachute Mobile jump on the 24th of August 2021. Jeff & Matt made a pit stop to drop off some stuff and I was already thinking of making an HF jump, all I needed was an excuse so off to the sky we go. Thanks to everyone that tried to make the QSO on this jump. The radio audio you are hearing came from a recording that Steve (KO4AFL) made from his QTH. He didn’t hear all that I heard and I didn’t hear all the stations he heard but this will do the trick. My recorder failed me miserably so the only radio audio I have is his recording. If you haven’t heard or read already Jeff (KF0CSJ)/Ham Radio Nomad lost his vehicle/home in a fire that very day. If you have any way of helping him join up the discord https://discord.gg/snJ7SP4vUs . There is a channel on there #nomad dedicated to helping him out. On this jump I made contacts with: WN9TCH AE4MQ W8LYO KE8SDA W1ECB KF0CSJ WB4DKU KK6USY KG7PJJ KM6KFW K0FBS KB8VND 0:00 intro 0:28 Ready to load 0:42 Loading up 1:11 Time to jump 1:56 Start calling CQ 10,500 Feet 4:38 passing 7600 Feet 6:30 passing 5500 feet 8:15 QRT The radio: Icom IC-706MkIIG The antenna: Packtenna EFHW 20m https://www.packtenna.com/store/p3/PackTenna_Mini_End-Fed_Half_Wave_Antenna.html The battery: Bioenno 12AH https://amzn.to/3g69oQV The radio pack: Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack - https://amzn.to/2TN2OWM The feedline: Messi & Paoloni Airborne 5 - https://amzn.to/357QxyI The headphones: Westone Pro30 - https://amzn.to/3goGj27 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwsEnI4Sxyw
