Amateur Radio on the Loop

For all my ham radio friends out there I though I'd shoot a short video of just some of the noise I have to deal with while on the boat...

My best reception is when Joell and I are anchored out away from power lines and other boats. I turn off all the power to every device/appliance on our boat except to the two way radio.  I do the same when in a marina which helps but we're surrounded by other boats making the same or other noise...

If I have a good strong station it'll usually break through like on the video where K9BTQ, Tom is running the Milwaukee Florida Net...
