Im not sure why my emails to the reflector always show that they are addressed to mark reiter... I guess that is how my email client insists on classifying the address. I will delete it from my cache again. My email was addressed to all bvarc.
From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> On Behalf Of Chris Medlin via BVARC Sent: Wednesday, October 2, 2024 7:57 AM To: M Reiter via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Chris Medlin <ctmed...@outlook.com> Subject: [BVARC] Skydiving Ham I discovered this guy last night. He is a professional sky diver and is passionate about Ham Radio... so... what does that mean? He jumps out of perfectly good airplanes at 14,000 ft and as he floats down to the ground, he is either making dozens of "parachute mobile" contacts on 52 direct... or... he is working HF sideband on an Icom 705 (or 7300) and an endfed antenna. If you get some time today, check out his channel. His main channel link is below.. and then ive added a couple others as well for the busy ham who doesn't need to be bothered with searching the site: Main YouTube page: Introduction to Life At Terminal Velocity (youtube.com)<https://www.youtube.com/@LifeAtTerminalVelocity> 52 simplex over Napolean Michigan: https://youtu.be/VN_PZAfJHVI?si=2of03SqQeVcfDDCi 20M SSB on a IC-7300 over Rochelle Illinois. At around the 5 min mark, he works WB5CIT in Boerne TX from about 9,000 ft. https://youtu.be/srzKnZ1cNaE?si=TVyhAD55jHGnvZcY Plenty more videos to check out. 73 and have fun Chris/ac5cm
