What is Julian up to? Robust Packet Radio on HF #shorts
Hello Operators.
Recently, I've quietly tested an exciting device in the background. It's a multi-role device capable of acting as a KISS mode TNC. With its built-in GPS, It can function as an RPR (Robust Packet) HF APRS TNC or stand-alone HF APRS Tracker. Before you ask, yes, it is already acting as an HF APRS TNC in KISS mode with APRSDroid on Android. It is also a Robust Packet TNC for Winlink sessions with the latest PAT Winlink and Winlink Express.
The incredible thing about this device is it is multi-platform. So far, I've tested on Android, Linux, & Windows, HF APRS, RPR Packet Radio, and as a stand-alone Tracker.
As KO4LLC recently said, "The best preparation is to have multiple plans". This device embraces that notion by giving us multiple options, on multiple platforms. communications options, independent of the operating system, on a single-pocket portable device.

Stealth HF Ham Radio Station in Berlin
Operating a stealth QRP transmitter in a Berlin hotel room was an interesting ham radio experience. My hidden station used a Xiegu x6100 and a Packtenna random wire end fed antenna, to send and recieve Winlink messages over ground wave propagation, on 80 meters. It definately wasn't without its challenges.
Hello Operators.
Today we are operating te Xiegu X6100, Microsoft Surface Go 2 and Packetenna Mini random wire end fed antenna in Berlin Germany for some cladestine WInlink sessions. In this video we go through the gear, antenna deployment, connection difficulties, and more.

Elecraft KX2 for Off Grid Ham Radio OH8STN
The Elecraft KX2 is an iconic portable ham radio. Lightweight and capable, it is an interesting option for the off grid ham radio operator. Today I'm researching the cost of the KX2, so I can plan one for the channel.
Hello Operators.
I thought since I already have the Icom IC-705, Lab599 TX500, Xiegu x6100 and x5105, and also Yaesu FT-818, why not add an Elecraft KX2 to the collection. Whenever comparisons are done on the blog or channel, people always ask "Where is the KX2?". Perhaps it is time to get the KX2 here. Before we do, lets research and costs, and budget some money.

Man Portable HF Antenna Strategy Off Grid Ham Radio
A Portable Ham Radio HF antenna should be lightweight, easy to carry and easy to deploy. Operating QRP while man-portable requires a portable HF antenna to reach an even higher level of ultra-portability and efficiency. When we enter the emergency communications and survival radio space, we simply can't waste our output power on an inefficient broadband antenna. Broadband antennas have their place, but I am changing my antenna strategy. This is my new man-portable HF antenna strategy. Let me know what you think.

Off Grid Ham Radio Data Modes Explained
Do off grid ham radio data modes require the internet? A viewer wanted to know if´JS8Call, Winlink, or VaraAC needed the internet for any point of the messages transit to its recipient. As always, I was happy to explain.
Some ham radio data modes use the internet for some parts of a messages journey. This is ok when the internet is functioning, but can also be a critical failure point, in a grid down emergency communications scenario. I go through the most common ham radio data modes on the channel, to give you the scoop on which ones are truly off-grid!

Ham Radio Micro Blogging Off Grid
Normally, ham radio is used to contact DX stations around the globe. An amateur HF radio and antenna can also be used for emergency communications, off-grid communications, and preparedness. Whether operating from home or portable, using solar power or connected to the grid, your QRP or QRO station can do things you might not have imagined. JS8Call, VarAC, and Winlink, can tranform a normal ham radio station, into a life saving one.
Join me for a while as we discuss Over-The-Air Micro Blogging with Ham Radio.

Decentralized Social Media with Ham Radio
Decentralized social media tools are necessary to protect free speech from censorship. Ham Radio networks might be able to provide the tools we need for emcomm, preparedness and free speech. Decentralized off-grid communication and asynchronous messaging could allow critical news, informaiton and other data through, when social media platforms are shutting down narratives contrary to their own. Lets take a look at my concept for sharing critical news and information, without a middleman, using ham radio.

Go your own way | Read description | #hamradio #shorts
There are lots of narrow-minded naysayers in ham radio. Ignore them! Define your goals, then put together a plan to reach them. If you have to adapt along the way, that's okay. But never let someone stop you from doing it your way in the first place. The lessons you learn along the way are much more valuable.

Best antenna for the Icom IC 705 JPC 12 Antenna
Testing the JPC-12 portable HF antenna with Icom IC-705. Is this the best antenna for the Icom IC-705? The JPC-12 is a coil-loaded quarter wave vertical antenna covering all ham radio bands from 40 meters through 50Mhz, including CB Radio. It is small, lightweight, extremely quick to deploy and very easy to setup. This was my first portable deployment with the JPC 12. I was operating QRP to 10 watts with the Icom 705. The JPC-12 was sent over from PileupDX for testing and review.

PowerFilm 160-watt Crystalline Solar Panel
A portable crystalline solar panel from PowerFilm Solar. Today on OH8STN we take a look at a 160-watt portable monocrystalline solar panel which is both lightweight and folding. We will also talk about the difference amorphous vs crystalline, and why you might choose one over the other. We'll also compare this160-watt panel, with 3 of the most popular portable or moveable monocrystalline solar panels available.
The PF 160-watt crystalline comes in with higher energy density, more power and with a smaller footprint, than the amorphous solar panels, but with a lower price point. This video should help you decide which brand and technology is best for your application. I'll be integrating this portable crytalline solar panel into my off-grid portable power system very soon.
Enjoy

Portable Power Manpack Civilian Off Grid Comms
Portable Power Manpack for Civilian Off Grid Comms.
Hello Operators.
Thanks for watching this next episode of How to solar power your portable radio.When talking about manpacks, we normally mean ham or military-style manpack HF VHF or UHF radios. Well, we have taken the military manpack radio concept and applied it to a man-portable manpack portable power system, for civilian communications off-grid. The system includes the battery, dual charge controllers, fused leads, power distribution, and a shooter style manpack pouch to keep things simple and organized.
The system was designed in simplifying the build, stopping any unnecessary wire mess, and has an active focus on rapid deployment and portability off-grid. The system can be used to power one or more high-power radios for instant power and comms off grid.

Field testing doesn't have to be boring!
Field testing the 2 meter RMS Packet gateway from 14km out running 10 watts on the RMS gateway and on my local rig. Antenna on the IC-705 was a single band 2m chassis antenna I'm testing. It comes from Wimo_germany webshop.
Also tested was the 24ah portable power supply from @gigaparts , the 8 port windcamp power distribution strip, and the 160-watt monocrystalline
solar panel from @powerfilmsolar .
Even with dual charge controllers, the system is RF quiet! #oh8stn #hamradio

Victron Energy 75/15 MPPT for Ham Radio
Today we are testing a Victron Energy 75/15 MPPT solar charge controller for off grid ham radio on solar power. The only problem is the noise the charge controller produces on Ham Radio HF bands used for off grid communications on both sail boats and land based SSB radio on HF. Hopefully we can come together as a community, to solve this horrific RFI interference problem, and get this charge controller out in the field.

Why a VHF Winlink Session? Read description.
Why is it important to support VHF in addition to HF? Mobility & Portability. There are times when an NVIS setup would be more advantageous. However, offering local access on VHF makes access to Winlink services possible, albeit with less equipment.
In this short clip I'm doing a Winlink session on 50 mhz, with a qrp radio & rubber ducky antenna from a hotel room in Helsinki. It certainly would not have been possible to put up an 80 M dipole in the hotel courtyard.
