As Carlos, KD9OLN said, "You don't need a parachute to go skydiving. You just need a parachute if you want to go skydiving more than once."

My name is Doug and I did a tandem skydive with Carlos back in July. This was a freefall from 14,000 feet. What an awesome experience. Please check out the video I posted on that one.

This time Carlos and I did a tandem jump, but operated PARACHUTE MOBILE HAM RADIO! We deployed the canopy right away, deployed the antenna, and played radio for the next 10 minutes or so. Breathtaking views, ham radio, what could be better!

I can't thank Carlos enough! Check out his videos ‪@LifeAtTerminalVelocity‬
