I bring my Icom IC-7300 to the top of Mont Hereford, Québec, Canada at 2800 feet elevation (875 meters) to do DX contacts, I will be operating on battery and transmitting a full 100W on a 33 foot vertical antenna. Fortunately we can drive all the way up so I can bring all my gears. We have a very good and sunny day with low wind, let’s make some DX contacts! (Italy, Slovenia, Spain) Due to gusting winds at times, I had to lower volume at some places and cut video segments. Note that this recording was on a weekday so less overall activity compared to a weekend. Timeline / Operators 01:14 IK4GRO 02:35 IK7YTT 03:55 S51DX 05:39 EA7JWF 06:22 IU3BTY 07:18 IZ2DPX 08:43 K3UT

Thank you all for your great comments, I really enjoyed this expedition and sharing it with you. Luckily there was a great leveled platform for the setup. I was right on top of the emblem, it says "Be humble, be creative and be good" 73
