QRP CW and FT8 Portable Ops - Equipment Testing

Spent a few hours testing the new F-Stop Tilopa backpack, setting up a new tarp for shade to beat the summer heat. QRP operations were performed on the QMX 20-10M transceiver using CW and FT8 modes. The field testing was to familiarize myself with my equipment before going on longer treks and gaining experience on how to setup my portable operations.
Thanks for watching.
