Uncle Steve tries to fish Harris Lake (NC) on the east side of SR1127 New Hill-Holleman Road as it crosses from the north shore of the lake. The area is beautiful this Fall day, but the duckweed has built up where the shore current is slow. This is not a suitable fishing spot.

I took my ham radio to Falls Lake State Recreation Area - Beaverdam on Rte 50 north of Raleigh, North Carolina. I wanted to play with an end fed half-wave 20 meter wire antenna I had made. This is a battery setup, an old Japan Radio tuner and my IC-706MKIIG transceiver. Prior to the filming I heard a British ham on holiday in US Virgin Islands working DX, such as Japan, Angola, Greenland, Saudia Arabia. I could hear them too, so the band was open. I worked a station in Washington state and ...
