https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/4d1c4b72-8850-48ed-ad68-ecd4e9d2fbcd Morning pedestrian mobile activity around 2200 UTC on Feb 14, 2014 (9am Feb 15, 2104 local time). Equipment used was an FT-817 and a 1m diameter magnetic loop. Video features contacts to VK4, VK6 then K4SSU. The propagation was long path, with the first 60km of take off being over the bay. North Americans seem harder to work than Europeans whilst pedestrian mobile. This may be because Europeans more actively seek DX, whereas many Americans, with a common mother tongue over a large landmass, are content to work domestically. Because their signals are typically weak, hand-carried pedestrian mobile stations generally make contacts by calling others rather than putting out calls themselves.
