QRP portable DX: 12 and 10 metres

Most portable operating has been on 40 metres due to its high activity and reliable results. However sometimes I'm up for the thrill of the more volatile higher HF bands. Footage shows QRP CW, SSB and WSPR operating on 12 and 10 metres from a local beach. It's just before noon local time. The usual 22 metre wire antenna, end-fed, is used. See previous videos for more information as it features frequently. Some of the signal reports weren't particularly good and the antenna's radiation pattern is uncertain. Future experiments will be with verticals - said to be good near salt water.
