El tema de siempre....la vieja del gato chinchosa....

Human nature wants to control everyone's life and do what I say because I am right ( so wrong )

He has a cute hobby. She needs to mind her little business

Clearly they have nothing better to do. What a bunch of busy bodies. I wonder if its really a problem with his antenna or his accent.

The nerve of that guy....doing whatever the hell he wishes on his own property.

This woman is one of those silly control freaks. I looked at Armando's page on QRZ. He looks like a really good guy who has fitted in wherever he lives. This woman wants to ruin his life and others for kicks.

Gee if it's not making noise why would you care..enjoy your garden..your animals..plant a tree..and ignore the old fool..

When I put up my triband yagi antenna up my next door neighbor said that it attracts radio waves thats why she gets interferrence ..Can u believe ?

Wonderful having KAREN's as neighbors . can never mind their own business..

cancer from ham radio 🤣more likely to get cancer from a ham sandwich with all shit they put in processed meat

Typical old biddies that have nothing better to do but bully people....what a great hobby would love to spend an afternoon with him.

luckily those two sad Karens don't have very long to live. Where do they get the right to bother that man? Nothing else to do with there sour life than bother other people. They don't even know or care that they take the life of the man if they take away (t)his hobby. 73 ON4NDO

what a miserable old woman. MISERABLE.

El mundo a revés 😢

Poor man... It's terrible trying to explain something to ignorant people. Moreover, to ignorant women🧐 For those who don't know, look in Google how many famous persons were radio amateurs, musicians, kings, astronauts, actors among them. 73! de EA4CWW

Rose still thinks this is 1950's England...sorry its 2024. Get a life, Stop being nosy, enjoy your life. Old foosty bint. These ladies are what is wrong with society.

mind your own fuking business' it is not in your yard ,,,i dont like your choice of paint color fukthat

I've seen estimates as much as half of all people have some sort of brush with cancer in their lifetime.So you can blame it on anything you like if you're not going to use any evidence. Besides an amateur station doesn't have anywhere near enough power to do anything physiological, i guess you could get a shock if you touched it, but it's still unlikey to cause any real harm.

Sad to watch really. I fine elderly man just had is purpose for living stripped away... SHAME SHAME!! Amateur radio operators are a huge ASSET to any community!

Room antenna and dvb-t receiver - instead of buying a new TV

They have nothing else to do but complain.

A great hobby

If the tower drops down under gutter high you don’t need full planning

That antenna hurts nobody , they all have a tv antenna which is small because of the band its on (uhf) other bands need larger antenna's. Evil people with no interests and nothing better to do than cause trouble . I hope God is a radio ham and he sends them all to hell .

That old lady is a total asshole. I don’t care what age she is. She is an asshole.

I had a neighbor call me on the phone once and tell me my radio was whipping out his TV reception and my radio wasn't even on at the time. He didn't believe me so I invited him over. I called his wife while he was here and ask her if the interference was still happening and she said it was, but he could plainly see my radio wasn't even on. We later found out the guy that installed his satellite equipment had not made good connections to it with the coax I repaired the connection for him and he apologized to me.

People just need to learn to mind their own business! Don't tread on me!

Shame on the neighbors

So you have this elderly man who calls out over his radio seeking contacts in a hobby he loves and is a major form of social contact for him and a bunch of Karen's use their social networks to shut him down and take this from him. Am i understanding this video correctly?

There are always longwire antennas that can be hidden in the trees. OFFCOM needs to protect Ham Radio Operators. I lived in an HOA in the states. It was not illegal to instal a flag pole in ones yard. A 3/4 inch copper pipe made for a good wideband element inside the fiberglass mast Fed through an antenna coupler and quite a few radials buried in the ground. No one even suspected while in the evenings I spent a lot of time "pulling weeds" to plant the radials.😊😊

Update May 2023. Mr Martins has moved inland to a much nicer area and guess what? He has a mast in his back garden, another antenna clamped to the side wall of his house and, no doubt, MUCH nicer and more tolerant neighbours than those two old tabbies!

I live in Herne Bay too. It's full of miserable old biddies like these two (I'm 72 - not 73 until September 😉) - it probably doesn't help that Martin is a "furriner" - the place is full of Kippers! Good luck. Martin. Off to watch part 2.

Neighbours with very little to do except finding something to occupy their empty brain space.

It’s a shame you didn’t get the RSGB involved because they are experts in the planning and when they were claiming that people would be getting radiation it’s strictly not true

Miserable old farts need to get out more and stop poking their noses in to other peoples business . They should get a life

If there is ever a real emergency situation you would be happy to have an amatuer operator near by it may be your only form of communication with the rest of the world. Something to think about

What he should have said to the council was that he would only extend his erection when he is using it . That’s a fair compromise .

When I first spotted this vid I expected a lot of people agreeing with the complainants . It’s reassuring to note how supportive people are as I am planning a big erection myself

The woman doesn't have to stand and look up at it every day but the other side of it is I live in the country and make do with an EFHW 49:1 wire antenna and it serves me very well, If I can hear them I can work them, a tower would be nice but it's true too that he might not be able to erect a 134 foot long antenna in the space he has, mine is mounted in a kid of sloping inverted L. I can't make my own tower so the cost of this + beam antenna is not justifiable for me. When not using the radio the antenna is connected to my Kiwi SDR.

At most, a couple of hundreds of watts was being used by martin , as a radio ham myself it,s a well known fact that when conditions are right we can talk to the world on as little as 10 watts! there are war veterans alive today who worked the "radar" systems and literally sat for hours directly under the radar aerials for days next to 15+ KILO WATTS of radiation! unaffected by it! these people should be reminded that "radiation Cures some cancers " thanks to madame Curie! iv,e had my spats with neibours in the past and always managed to "talk them down," some people are just ignorant to the hobby, and always will be, they should be treated with the contempt they deserve, Good D.X. es 73,s M0TJP (class1 ham licence) Devon.... 🤨😄😄😄....

You should leave the man alone, That's a man sanctionary You just took that man's life Away

I’d make that damn house look like a porcupine with antennas.

What horrible women, i also use CB radio and ham radio, had same issues over the years, these sort of people are clueless and dont knoe what they are talking about, always the same types too. Unfortunately the ham radio hobby is dying out as youngsters are not interested and old fools like these women are ruining it for guys like this who actually enjoy radio.

Tell her to get a dog up her !! Everytime the witches complain add a beam or a side vertical to tower, maybe a scarecrow to keep the birds away.

Epic antenna!!

They should be old enough to remember when everyone had tv antennas on their house. With cable now no one has antenna now.

UK = United Karens

Just another "Karen" at work.

Neighbor's a needing DRAMA. THERE BORED. THIS GOES ON ALL AROUND THE WORLD. EVEN IN A FREE PARK IN Dickson. TN. CHILDREN DO ORBITS ON ME IM 73 AN DISPLACED MAN and report jined up reports I'm ignored and don't. Want to play....this is a free park and I getting black marbles as i under stand you must petition the neighbor hood ...if you get a no that's it....iast time in overseas work I hid a wire in a flag pole and I'd well

If his antenna mast is accepted by the council planning dept then she has no reason to complain about the installation.
