A buddy and me hiked up to the summit of Denk Hill for some emcomm work. I tried out my manpack loaded with an Yaesu FT-817, Digirig, Panasonic FZ-M1 tablet and a coil walkabout. Worked 40m digital and was able to receive and pass ARES messages on Fldigi. Also tried out FT8 but wasn't having much luck.
