Most of you know him, some may not, but either way you should! Callum McCormick (M0MCX) from DX Commander is here today to discuss various topics about his products, his creativity and what is coming in the future! DX Commander antennas systems are known and used all over the world. They are some of the top rated antennas of all time and very affordable. Although some assembly is required, you will be happy with your purchase of any antenna in the DX Commander Line! Links below:
EMP, Solar Flares and Coronal Mass Ejection are very real threats to your electronics and ham radio gear. Common sense would dictate that protecting your gear from these threats is a wise decision. Mission Darkness offers a wide variety of products that will absolutely protect your gear and other electronics when you need it most. In this video I am reviewing the X2 Duffel Bag that has some nice features and added bonuses when you purchase the bag. Hope you enjoy and protect your ham radio investment!

In this video I am discussing ham radio and disaster preparedness. What equipment and supplies would you need to prepare you in times of disaster or a storm? What bands would you most likely use to communicate with others during a storm? I am covering this and much more on today's show.

I recently purchased an IC- 7300 as my primary HF rig but also own a 991-A. This video covers why I made that decision and what I like and dislike about both radios. This is not a review or a bash of one over the other, but an observation based on my situation and experience. I hope you enjoy it!

In this video I go over what you can do once you have passed your ham radio test. I also go over the new Ham Radio For Non-Techies website that is full of resources for new Hams and those looking to get in to the ham radio hobby. We discuss how to find a local club and the importance of joining a local ham club to further your education in the hobby.
