A few weeks ago I was hearing a guy in CA that said he was bicycle mobile. Some sort of recumbent bike I think he said.

I did that with a 20 meter hamstick on a backpack and made 3 contacts in an hour, the furthest was Panama at 20 watts.

I worked a guy during FD2020 who was bike mobile in CA. Heard him calling over several hours on 20m.

It’s amazing what can be done with a few watts and not much of an antenna when conditions are right.

I had a 20m CW QSO with a guy in Montana tonight..sitting on the living room couch with my KX2 and AX1 whip.  I took a short video during our QSO and emailed him the YouTube link, he got a kick out of it.
