Parks on the Air activation – QRP style with the IC-705 and the Buddistick Pro antenna by Buddipole at park K-2187. I had fun being on the other end of the weak signal station trying to get heard over those larger stations. The BSPRO antenna was made as a compliment to the IC-705, but its also a great match for any portable transceiver running 100w or less. Thank you to KO4GFP for the use of his IC-705 today to make the video. Hope you guys enjoy!
