I thought I broke my 705 or something else was wrong...turns out it was me that was wrong. Attention to detail when making Anderson Power Poles is crucial!
When out in the field with your equipment wouldn't it be nice to have a quick reference guide to get info on the fly and not carry a bunch of manuals everywhere you go? This little accessory will make your life easier when operating away from home.

In today's video I am reviewing the X-Tenna's Variable End Fed Half Wave Antenna. This is a unique antenna in that it allows you to change the Unun configuration with the flip of a switch. Check it out and thanks for watching. 73

In today's video I am addressing a viewer comment pertaining to the technical non-techie format of my channel. I ma going to answer the questions he had in his comment sot me on a video I did last year about tips for ham radio beginners and clarify a few things. There is a ton of stuff to do as a ham operator and it would take tons of videos to cover it all...oh wait...that's why I have a channel...LOL. I hope you enjoy.

Making 1000 contacts is no easy task...trying to get a bunch of contacts in a day or two to reach that goal is even worse...LOL This video I go over what I did for the past two days in trying to get that Kilo Award for POTA before the year ends! Enjoy!

From a viewer comment I wanted to address the issue of running into difficult situations or people within the hobby and allowing that to skew or judge ham radio as a whole without trying to seek better community outside of your local area. In addition, there is an entire online ham radio community that is waiting for you!!! I also go over how to find an online exam session using hamstudy.org. Enjoy! 73!!

I recently bought an IC-7300. I also have the 991A. The problem is I only want to use one antenna for both rigs. What is a solution to this? A coax switch. See how I did it!
