Some folks think I screwed the board to the desk.. This time, I wasn't as stupid as I normally am and it didn't go the way you thought! :)

This second cabinet is for the Genius 8x2 remote switch, CCTV, Ethernet Switch, Mains and WiFi etc, etc . This one is from RS Online. It's 50mm / 2-inches deeper than the previous one which is just as well because EcoFlex 15 doesn't bend very well! I didn't know it was this deep when I ordered it but handy anyway. Callum.

I have JUST plugged this in and so far it exceeds my expectation. Works with any radio although deep inside the guts, Flex is supported heavily as well as Yaesu and Icom. But any radio will work with this. You just need an ethernet connection between your shack and this box (and a 12V supply) to your shack bulkhead. In my case, it's going out in the field in a professional electrical metal box. I will show you that video at a later date - this is my initial findings. Enjoy! Callum.

The 2-element parasitic array follow same principles as the Yagi. One of the verticals is parasitic and is the reflector. Delivers around 4-5 dB extra gain and has reasonable f/b. Easy to make for /P or temporary work. Have one facing USA or EU. Lots of fun. 73, Callum.

You don't need to be technical to make this work. This is not a technical solution, this is about how to manage your power output on SSB. Works less well on FM and AM but the concepts are the same. I talk about compression and how to modulate your SSB signal better to cut through the pile-ups and get your station heard. Callum.

We have had three stations that QRM me. We have used KiwiSDR to track down two of them. This station is the newer one and we are close to tracking him down too.. I would prefer that we didn't have to try. Anyway, I say it all in the video. I'm not angry, I just want to understand him and help him out. PS - When I say "we", I refer to an Army of volunteer folks and local clubs who help me out with the DF problem and intelligence. Thanks. Callum.

Sometimes I quite like non-standard phonetics, for instance "Suga-Papa" (Poland) and "George Four XYZ" for an older UK callsign, it's important we recognise when and when NOT to deviate from the standards. See what you think anyway. I know this isn't set in stone, but this video is for just some guidance that newbies might find helpful. If you follow the "rules" I find that it also helps me when I'm "in the chair" running a pile-up. Callum. Link: Here's the "official" one that seems to work for me.

Join me for my weekly Friday Stream. I'm back and looking forward to having some fun. Join in the chat, just listen or see if you can hear me. All in the name of science! Really? LOL! Callum.

Have we lost the art of real listening because we rely on technology instead of our ears? I have an idea. Callum.

In the main, we use phase lines to split power to more than one antenna. By selecting the right lengths of delay / phase lines, we can skew our energy towards our target. Let me explain.

I get that you are low-power, but stop asking me for the sympathy vote. I have a HUGE respect for folks who get through with their regular call.. But I still need your callsign! What do you say?

Do we need to know or even understand the velocity factor of a coax line? In the main, no - although very often, velocity factor often follows loss - but that is not the point today. You shouldn't (normally) have to worry about coax velocity factor. Let me explain. Callum.

I'm confused. I think I'm looking at FT101MP -vs- Flex 6600M. But I need your thoughts. What do you think? C.

Having a blast on 40m and 20m - and maybe other bands if the bands hold up.. Join in, enjoy the chat or even give me a call! Callum.

We have joined forces with the UK Live Stream Ham Radio Creator Community starting on 40m but also going up to 20m band and further for North American and DX Stations. Please fire up your radios and prepare for some fun!
