160 metres AM portable from Chelsea Reserve on Labour Day.  

Video intended to provide a comparison for Ian VK3TB's portable and home station signals from nearby locations with similar antennas.  Distance would be approximately 40km. 

As you'll hear, the lower home station with the good ground (shed roof) performed much better than the hilltop portable location with the poor ground.
