SOTA中に突然神様の使いが現れた!|FTX-1F 5W QRP ×変形ダイポールでCWフィールド運用 / Mt.Hayama SOTA | CW with a Bent Dipole

This video is a field operation video sharing a realistic glimpse into amateur radio operation outdoors. In the video, I'm using a gazebo, but I set up the antenna assuming no hikers would come given the time and weather. Of course, I was prepared to stop and pack up immediately if anyone approached. Also, I apologize for any poor audio quality due to using my left hand for paddle operation, which I'm not used to. // Operation Data / Operation Date and Time: July 18, 2026 / Operation Location: SOTA JA/MG-096 Hayamayama, Elevation: 219m, JP-1051 JAFF-0160 Kesennuma Prefectural Natural Park Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture JCC0605 / Radio: YAESU FTX-1F / Output Power: 5W / Antenna: Full-size dipole, modified / Bands: 40m, 30m, 70cm CW / Telegraph Key: BAMATECH BaMaKeY TP-III // Equipment Used (Includes affiliate links) ・YAESU FTX-1 Field 10W Version (FTX1Field)  https://amzn.to/3VmRFZd ・YAESU SPG-1 Protection Guard For FTX-1 series  https://amzn.to/3JTKOE6 *Click here for the authorities' QSO YouTube publication policy https://jr7cvg.com/youtube_policy 73, JR7CVG / Hiro [English] Thank you for watching. Although it appears that I occupied the gazebo during this activation, I set up my antenna there because, considering the weather and the time of day, I did not expect any hikers to arrive. Of course, if anyone had come, I would have stopped operating immediately and taken down the antenna. Also, I was once again using my left hand for paddle operation, which I'm still getting used to. I apologize if my CW sending sounds awkward at times. // Activation Info / ACTIVATION DATE: 18 Jul. 2026 / LOCATION: SOTA JA/MG-096 219m, JP-1051,JAFF-0160, Kesennuma City Miyagi Prefecture / RIG: YAESU FTX-1F /PWR: 5W / ANT: Bent Dipole Antenna / BAND: 40m, 30m, 70cm CW / KEY: BAMATECH BaMaKeY TP-III // Gear Used YAESU FTX-1 Field 73, Hiro JR7CVG [Hashtags] #Radio #Dipole #SOTA #POTA #FTX1 #Karakuwa #Hayamayama #Morse Communication #CW #Amateur Radio #MorseCode #Antenna #Portable #HamRadio
