    Excellent presentation, Hope. You articulate better than many attorneys, politicians, and college students. Yesterday, I purchased your Solaris Plus 360 Watt Hour Solar Generator.

    After watching this and Hope's other videos in the past, I'm amazed at her capabilities and her intelligence. I thoroughly enjoy watching them, she is AWESOME!
    The simple fact that she is an EXTRA is amazing, and she is fun to watch. Hope's parents did a great job with her and are very lucky to have such an awesome daughter. I hope to see more of her adventures in the future.

    It's refreshing to not see a single negative comment coming out of the QRZ cesspool. Excellent channel and always outstanding information.

    Nice setup, and a good video! Appreciated the humor near the end.

    In the video, the Lea sisters (whom I met very briefly at Dayton last year) are calling "CQ 44" and identifying their location with "KFF" and a four digit number. I have heard this on the air from folks who seemed to be doing POTA activations. However, a Web search does not turn up a good explanation for the use of the number "44". Nor can I find a list of the locations that that are apparently identified by codes that include the letters "FF". (It appears that "FF" stands for "flora and fauna," and it seems to be prepended by one of the callsign prefixes for the country where the site is located. But some of the sites to which hams were referring on the Web seem to be historic sites such as national monuments rather than nature preserves or parks.) Anyone have a good reference for the sites, the codes, and the information exchange being used here?

    Thank you! The Web sites are a bit awkward, the selection of physical locations that have codes is almost random (many parks and points of interest are missing), and the justification for the use of "44" defies science (4 elements - in this day and age?). But it nonetheless looks like an enjoyable game for portable operators.

    Hope....Great job explaining your gobox. You may need a little more air movement to the body of the 7100 if you expect to run it on heavy some of the more heavy duty cycle modes such as PSK31, RTTY, or AM...or even the JT modes. There is no such thing as 'too much' air when we are trying to cool-off heat sinks in a confined and enclosed area. Since the rear (bottom) of the case is already somewhat compromised to the outside, another air intake in this area would be a good bet. The layout is nice and concise. Can't beat a Pelican case. Good choice of gear all around. Nice cable and wiring quality.
    Hope all of your family is doing well. Keep up the good work.
