In Wisconsin, all good road trips start with Kwik trip!
-
What an ambitious, fantastic day of park activations ! All three antennas are in my kit, and I can't pick one as a favorite over the others, as they all work so well. As you demonstrated, Michael ! Thanks for a most entertaining ride-along. W3WJ.

Woo! Kwik Trip FTW! Love that place. <3 Also... those pileups are nuts! XD I'm just laughing here. So much fun. ^_^
-
Of course I liked the Coffee and Ham Radios Apollo EFHW best. (The others were pretty good too)
-
Great job Michael and glad to be part of the video... Tks Steven IW2MJQ
-
Awesome! Last year, I did a 5-park rove, using 5 different antennas, and just 5 watts, for International QRP Day. It was a good challenge and a lot of fun.
-
I love it when you make a contact into Europe and then then they spot you, all of a sudden it's nothing but europeans which gets confusing quick with the different prefixes. A lot of fun. Thanks for the great video like always!! Vertical seemed quickest and easiest to get on the air.
-
Congrats on your 100 unique parks!
-
Very nice job on the DX!
-
Mike you are a outstanding person
-
Nice job Michael 👍
-
Great video. I like the vertical the best
-
The vertical looks pretty good to me, keep up the great work.
-
It's a pleasure to have made your video! My inverted V was strung East to West. I'm surprised to hear you had the loop East to West as well. 73 de W8ZFM
-
I love the fact that you provide background on the new locations you visit. Great video, thanks!
-
On my best day I've never heard 20m that clear in my shack at home. Might be time to upgrade antennas.
-
Outstanding job on your activations . it's hard to pick a favorite antenna since you had such great results, but it's nice to have them all in all in the tool box. - Thanks for another great video.
-
What a busy day you had Michael and congratulations on the 100 parks. As far as the antennas you used I really like the EFHW and the Big Gun!!!!
-
Thanks Michael
