- In the dynamic world of amateur radio, where enthusiasts continuously push the boundaries of communication, Stuart's recent achievement stands out as a testament to his determination and the remarkable capabilities of the Diamond BB7V vertical antenna.
Stuart's goal was ambitious: to establish contact with amateur radio operators in Australia, a feat that would test the limits of his equipment and skills. With the compact yet powerful BB7V antenna, Stuart embarked on his mission with fervor and meticulous preparation.
As he fine-tuned his equipment and directed his antenna towards the Southern Cross, Stuart felt excitement and anticipation. With each transmission, he sent out his call sign and a beacon of determination, reaching vast distances in pursuit of connection.
The moment of triumph came when Stuart received a response from VK land, signaling that his signal had indeed traversed the expanse of the Pacific Ocean to reach its destination. But Stuart's success didn't end there. Throughout his test, he found himself immersed in the vibrant activity of the Southern Cross Net on the 20-meter band, exchanging signals and stories with fellow enthusiasts from distant shores.
This achievement speaks not only to the efficacy of the Diamond BB7V antenna but also to the enduring spirit of exploration and camaraderie within the amateur radio community. Stuart's journey reminds us that, in an era dominated by digital communication, there is still immense value in the simple yet profound act of reaching out across the airwaves to connect with others.
As Stuart reflects on his accomplishment, he is filled with pride and gratitude-for the opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible, for the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts, and for the enduring allure of amateur radio as a conduit for connection and discovery.
Ultimately, Stuart's success is more than just a technical achievement-it is a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the unifying force of communication to transcend borders and bring people together, one signal at a time.

I'm going to follow you, always wanted to get into amateur radio, been watching my Dad enjoy the hobby for decades. Doesn't hurt you are a Maritimer.
Sounds good...well I hope I am a good influence :-)
Great Job Stuart ... Your friends in Colorado Springs!
Thanks CCS team
Because my house burned down and living in a mobile home i bought the bb7v after this video i cant wait to make some QSO's
73 from the Netherlands
Good luck and sorry to hear about your house
Great video.
73's de VA6
Thanks
Familiar first calls. I've worked EA4TL (twice) and CT1GFK from different US Parks.
Very active POTA Hunters!!
I have the bb7v it’s great on TX but some reason the RX sucks. The buddi stick pro receive better so I mostly just use the bb7v for FT8 whenever I go digital. I’m taking a trip down to FL at the end of may Thinking of taking a few antennas to compare them with each other. Anyway thanks for the videos 73 De AC1O
I have noticed that the ears are not that strong on the BB7V, but they are not too bad, either. I heard the Aussies quite strongly, and I worked at a 10w YO station on the BB7V. You have to hear them to work them. My EFHW is far superior on both TX and RX. I will be reviewing other antenna systems as I get them.
@@outnaboot congratulations on getting the Australian station on SSB. I must say the bb7v works great for FT8. Using only 5 watts and up.
@@ac1o Yep, I used it last week with FT8, and it is impressive. To be honest, the VKs are not that hard when you know when to look for them. 1100 UTC.
What rig are you running and with how much power? I have ordered a BB7V with high exceptions!
I run a Yaesu FT-891 at 100w
Where is the solar data page you use?
Right now I am using solar.w5mmw.net/, but will be make my own on outnaboot.ca
