I tried to melt my antennas with 1.8kW on 28MHz. No flames - but the thermal camera was extremely interesting! https://www.hikmicrotech.com/en/industrial-products/mini2-v2-thermal-camera-phone-attachment/ - Link to the product description https://www.amazon.co.uk/W%C3%A4rmebildkamera-HIKMICRO-Mini2-V2-IR-Aufl%C3%B6sung/dp/B0D9H15DCW?maas=maas_adg_2BFC2ACB01A8BE84CF63D9665250691C_afap_abs&ref_=...

Full test over 5-miles with the Retevis MB62 *and* supplied MagMount vehicle antenna with their MB62 kit. This is great fun!

Up to 90 mph winds have been measured recently in UK. Holly Farm (antennas and remote site) currently hitting 60mph gusts right now. DX Commander Antennas appear to be holding up! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PuhDwGtDYU

We are expecting 60mph winds in the middle of England so let's have a Check-In before all our antennas are destroyed! LOL ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx17ISKhRb4

I can't believe this actually works under water! The Spec says IP67 so actually it's good for 1m depth for 30-mins! But anyway, I found it funny..! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hvaknzY-Yk - Recommended Video from @RadioPrepper Retivis sent me this link for the GPS version of the radio: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CVXMTL9K?maas=maas_adg_807F576182B9D7A518B6DD613E06EC7E_afap_abs&...

This is for 40m RX and TX gain in 4-directions. It's switchable. Needs a LOT of coax for the phasing lines and the main feed and a 3-wire control line too. In this video, we unpack the box, understand how it works - and sort all the cabling to the field. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggpHk1PA6eA

I nearly lost the tower today! We upgraded the falling derrick, dropped the tower down, added a T piece for the tower to rest on when down and a few other odds and ends. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjkgmYsx2t4

Calculating how much rope you need for guying any sort of antenna mast can be a fiddle - so I wrote a spreadsheet to help us. If you find a mistake, let me know! https://mega.nz/folder/hq4mGY7Z#fSPzKPMhLIGmTnxUewZl1w - Here's link ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG4XtzSNy9c

I made a 14m / 45-ft ham radio mast from scaffold tubes using a "falling derrick". This is how I did it and these were the top questions that were asked many times: 1. No gloves. Correct, I can always let go rather than get tangled in clothing 2. The slot at the base is fine there is no sideways or twisting pressure here only downward pressure 3. The lines will be changed once I have pro...

I'm currently "remote" and I can't turn the yagi. I have a project in hand to be able to do that soon but I left the Yagi facing WEST to NA and also possibly long-path to VK. Anyway, that's the fun I am suggesting we have. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrdJj_RgE8
