Why Do Some People Transmit on Short Wave Bands? It's FUN!
Almost anyone can take a small test and transmit on Shortwave (and VHF etc) and talk to other folks on a Radio. Today, I will demonstrate how we do this. Listen to the protocol and see if you can understand Signal Reports, Names and Towns. Ham Radio is a Science-based hobby so we are always interested in how well other people can hear us. You can always tune into a WedSDR to listen yourself, just google WEBSDR! I'm Callum, Callsign M0MCX. Join me in my fun. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3vtri5uF0o
Dipoles and Verticals need to be treated in the same way (in the main). Longer Elements tend to resonate too LOW. Shorter elements, too HIGH. Let me explain. Callum.

I overheard two old boys talking about the G5RV and discussing whether is radiated vertically *and* horizontally. I thought, "Oh, what a good idea for a video"! Make you mind up. Have you had a G5RV? I have. I thought it was great for the lower bands. Not so sure about further up the spectrum. But hey, any HF antenna is better than none!

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. I was using this antenna: https://youtu.be/V8Qq4-0_TjQ

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.

This is a little adjustment calculator when you are out and about, perhaps on a field day and can't remember in the heat of the moment if you should be cutting or adding wire to make your antenna resonant. https://www.m0mcx.co.uk/quick-swr-calculator-for-vertical-and-dipole-ham-radio-antennas/
