A recent comment on the blog put me back in contact with an old friend of SolderSmoke: Paul VK3HN. Paul is an amazing homebrewer -- it was great to hear from him. He sent along this video of a portable Summit on the Air activation from the Melbourne Australia area. Paul managed to contact Ignacio EA2BD in Spain. Ignacio was also running low power with a portable set up. The remarkable thing is that we have video from both sides of the contact. FB! Thanks to Paul and Ignacio.

Let the record show that a birectional QRP contact between Spain and Australia (very-nearly antipodal) would have been unintelligible by SSB.
