This is a video of an activation of Alto do Moradal (SOTA ref. EA1/LU-024) that I made on Christmas day.
It was a total of 6 QSOs using my FT-897 manpack with a 2.9m whip, all of them on 17m SSB.

Pedestrian Mobile with FT-857 manpack: Bens
This is a video of a pedestrian mobile QSO with Serbian station YT1E (Rod) on 17m SSB. I was using my FT-857 manpack, featuring a 2.9m whip and an SG-211 antenna tuner. The battery is NiMh and the power 20W.
The video was shot by Anca (YO8SOY) and the audio was recorded from my car's station.

Testing the FT-857D manpack: Beiramar
Here are some videos testinf my light Yaesu manpack. The first QSO was with Germany (Mike, DB1JAW) on 17m SSB. I didn't get a very good signal report because the band was not in very good shape.
Here you can see a demonstration of how easy it is to use the automatic antenna tuner, the SG-211 by SGC:
On this video you can see a very good QSO with the Canary Islands (Jean, EA8/ON5JV), on 20m SSB.
Finally, a QSO with Scotland (Kevin, 2M0ONW):
All the QSOs were made with 20W, a 2.9m whip, and a single wire as a counterpoise.

O Teso (EA1/LU-029)
These are some videos of my activation of the summit O Teso, SOTA reference EA1/LU-029. My first QSO was on 17m SSb with the United States immediately after I switched on the station before I had time to start the vide recording. My second QSO was with an avid SOTA chaser, Quique, EA1DFP, on 17m also.
It was getting dark so I tried the 40m band. The result was a QSO with Patrick (OM1XQ) from Bratislava, on 40m SSB.
My next QSO was with Fred, CS7/PD0HNL, from Algarve on 20m.
Here is the nice eQSL I got, which means my 72nd country confirme for my eDX award.
Before leaving I made some repeater QSOs on 2m FM with Julio (EA1UP) and Juan (EA1AQ).
By then it was completely dark.
