Hi!
I just uploaded 3 more videos to my "channel" on YouTube:
from my late July trip to Baja California. One video from an FO-29 pass at grid DM21jw on 29 July 2010, and two videos from AO-7 and FO-29 passes at grid DM22gp on 30 July 2010. Thanks to the 3 cameramen for capturing the video during these passes - David XE2DAK for the FO-29 video at DM21jw, Alex XE2BSS/N2IX for the AO-7 video at DM22gp, and Larry KI6YAA for the FO-29 video at DM22gp. All three videos show my normal all-mode satellite station in operation - two FT-817NDs, Elk Antennas handheld 2m/70cm log periodic, Heil Traveler headset/mic.
I apologize for the lower video quality in the DM21 video; that video was made with a Sony 7MP still-photo camera that only makes 320x240 AVI videos, while the other two were made using my Nokia N900 phone with a 5MP (for still photos) camera that makes MP4 files. I was not thinking fast enough to turn on the camera in the N900 down at DM21, so David used the other (still-photo) camera to make that video.
Since I was traveling by myself up in Canada last month, and I have not rigged up a tripod that can hold my N900 phone (it does not have the threaded socket for mounting on camera tripods), I have no video from that trip. I may try to rectify that before I hit the road again in a few weeks. K8YSE's web site has audio from these trips and others where I have operated away from home:
