Morse with your mouth to work DX
If you can't read Morse or don't have a key you can still use Morse to get your callsign across. That can help you work DX under poor conditions or if using low power. This video explains how.

A DAY
a-day-of-160-metres-25-june-2011
Morning: 160 metres AM from Seaford's second pier.
Featured briefly in a previous pedestrian mobile video, this is the first time this location has been used for 160 metres AM. Compared to the main Seaford Pier it's less crowded and has a great stainless steel counterpoise that's easy to hook up to. As you'll see the weather was unseasonly pleasant for a midwinter's day.
Evening: Digging out an old 160 metre DSB rig for the Trans-Tasman 160 metre contest. This is a direct conversion set made 20 years ago and for me was the DSB transceiver that started it all.
Operation was from home, using the G5RV as a top loaded vertical. Only VK3 contacts were had with this setup, though VK2s, 5s and 7s were worked earlier with the 100 watt rig in the background.

HOW D

Sometimes you don't want to carry all the things needed to support an antenna and just want to plug in to what's there. In this video I walk along a local beach and try to load up various poles and signs on HF.

160 M
160-metres-am-with-compact-magnetic
160 metre AM transmitting and receiving tests with small loop antennas (1.5m diameter transmitting loop and 40cm receiving loop).
With ten watts the transmitted signal is good out to about 10-15 km but falls sharply beyond that distance. Most stations are 20 - 30km away so were unable to hear the transmission.
The second half of the video demonstrates a converted Sony portable receiving 160 metre AM signals with a small receiving-only loop antenna.
Other information about these loops appears at: http://home.alphalink.com.au/~parkerp/

FIXIN
fixing-a-cheap-uhf-frequency-counter
It was probably the highlight of a box of cheap electronic stuff picked up from a hamfest. It worked but its frequency was off. Adjusting the trimmer capacitor only partially helped. So how did I get it to accurately read frequency? Watch the video and find out.

Think HF conditions are poor? Think contacts are hard from home let alone pedestrian mobile with small antennas? Think again! This video is a compilation of HF pedestrian mobile SSB contacts made in the last two years. Main bands uses are 7 & 28 MHz.
