Have you ever transmitted right by sea water? Give yourself another 10dB. That is 10 times the power! Let's quickly have a look! Callum.

An amazing 24-month journey in 5-minutes. You guys and gals have been incredible. You will ALL go down in history as being part of a fabulous group that created an amazing business, a community and most importantly, friendship. Thank you, Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings and let us look forward to a fabulous 2023. 73 Callum, Wendy, Loki and Emily. X

When *only* WRONG ANSWERS will do! Join us for fun and frivolity with Mike M0MSN, Mike K8MRD, John NZ4J and myself :)

We're live on HF again. Join in, chat, or listen. Just having fun. Usual frequencies, from 80m up to 10m.

Here is 6 ideas you can try over a holiday. Radio Direction Finding via KiwiSDR, Try sending an email over HF using Winlink, Have a go at some old digital modes, PSK31 or maybe MFSK16, try some new software - maybe FLdigi or Ham Radio Deluxe? Lots of people ask about the software I use on Fridays, it's N1MM. HGave a look at that? And finally, give yourself a challenge of getting on a new band or maybe at least 1 QSO per day? What ever you do, enjoy! Callum.

No talking video. Watch me make a doublet antenna for a ham radio start to finish. Using 450 ohm balanced feeder, DX50 antenna wire and a custom doublet centre. Super-fast 4-minute video currently under edit. Will upload soon. Want a doublet centre? Search Google for "dx commander doublet centre" and you'll find it. Callum.

I'm LIVE on HF. Let's see who we can say hello to today. Join in, call me, follow the chat. It's all just for fun. Antenna is 12.4m Signature. Logging is via N1MM+. On TV is the GeoChron. Amplifier is Acom 2000. Radio is TS-990s. Left ear is normally my transmit audio and right ear is often a dedicated RX antenna. Sometimes I switch it around. You MIGHT end up with left or right ear occassionally if you are using headphones (recommended).

Fancy a quick blast on HF? See what the bands are like!

Years ago, I attended a presentation that Nigel (SK) G4NRR gave. He explained that dipoles resonate on every other harmonic and full wave loops were resonant on every harmonic. These extremely basic rules are the fundamental build blocks of almost every antenna I build. See what you think. Callum, M0MCX.

I'm all set for some DX on HF. Can you hear me? Join in the chat or just listen in, it doesn't matter - as long as you are having fun. 73 Callum.

Making something fun is good entertainment and a serious distraction in life. This is almost all my Multipliers during CQWW. Missed out is Peru and China (before I streamed on day-2). Using my own call, I had a LOT of fun tracking down new countries inclusing almost all of South America. 73, Callum.

There are 4 knots I use all the time, the Alpine Butterfly, a Bowline, a Stopper Knot and a Half Hitch. Learn these and you will never need another climbing contraption ever again. Callum.

OK, here is the challenge.. Make a vertical out of scrap and send me the pics. WInner will receive a brand new DX Commander Classic! Join in. Go on, you know you can! Closing date is 20th December. Send pics and some words to qrz@m0mcx.co.uk. Have fun. I'll make mine in a week or so! Callum.

It's Friday again, please join in, see if you can hear me, heckle on the live-chat. Just for fun. Callum.

Fabulous upgrade to speed up your POTA activations. We now have notches in the Expedition plates so that insead of threading your elements up the holes, you will instead "snap" them in place. See what you think! Link for upgrade below here. 73, Callum.

I need a 160m Antenna. Let's look at Inverted L, Sloper, Loaded Vertical a Compact Dipole and the Halo (loop). Let us consider the problem, walk the area and discuss how each would work.

Antenna Masterclass with John NJ4Z and Callum M0MCX - Parasitic reflectors and directors - and coax phasing lines.

Cheapest Tilt-Over mechanism you can find. Strong, brilliant and available anywhere in the world! If you went down this route, the hinge point needs to be slightly higher off the ground so that when your antenna, (say DX Commander) is layed down, the ground and driven plates (SO239 etc) have some room. So ideally, block it up by say 100mm / 4-inches off the ground with with long bolts or a lump of wood. Love it! 73, Callum. PS - YouTube slow with the Subtitles / Captions. I will update as soon as they materialise. C.

Using the club call, M0XXT again, I'll be on 40m, 20m and maybe let's try 15m and 10m too? Join in, call me or just chill out on the live-chat. 73, Callum.

I just got lucky on this one. This is an unedited / 6-minute segment of my CQWW entry on 10m band. Saves you scrubbing through nearly 10 hours of video! Callum.

CQ on left VFO and Multi Searching on Right :)

This one control knob can make you sounds GREAT or it can make you sound really BAD! Understand it and use only just enough. SDR link: http://websdr.org/ 73, Callum.

I wonder who we can pick up today on my Ham Radio gear? Join in, follow the chat or just chill whilst you work. I don't mind. Regards, Callum.

Stacked Verticals.. Will a T Piece Work? You tell me! And do we phase multiple (vertical) elements together and make the most powerful CB antenna in the world? All good fun! Callum.

Keeping track of changes when you are tuning ANY antenna is critical. Don't rely on your memory for what you did, write it down. This is how I do it. Callum.
