I love the part where you skip from his Nobel prize in 1909 to his death in 1937. I'm sure nothing dubious happened in the meantime....

Marconi was nothing but a lowly patent thief and Tesla proved it in court when his law suit against Marconi for stealing his wireless patent was upheld after his death in the 40s.

It should be more clearly stated that its a simulated message. Morse sounds good.

There is an octave relationship between 10 20 40 80. I have 40 m end fed half wave works fine on 20 and some on 80. I haven't tried 10 but do hear CB. It's NVIS.

It'd be interesting to know what the flagpole antenna solution ultimately is.

That bald guy in the back looks like he is falling asleep. Better catch him before he falls off his chair. And what is that bottle of ketchup for?

I must be a ham radio operator. I listened to this. I enjoyed listening to the NET. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Great to hear Virgil is still at it. I knew him 45 years ago when I was a wet-behind-the-ears young engineer at HP in Loveland (and a fellow ham). I built one of his computing SWR bridges, and still use it in my shack.

Great Presentation 👍

So Iv wondered for years now, maybe some of you will have an answer. On highway 14 west of Briggsdale and east of the Pierce cut off there is a group of 4 or 5 houses. One of those houses (south eastern most, not the farm house along the highway) has a vast antenna array. The house never has any vehicles, and Iv never seen any people there. Anyone know what that place is? Secret government facility? It sure looks peculiar.

Terrible audio

What time is the net?

Well that's a nice dutch name ....

Unbelievable. You couldn't have an antenna in the HOA, but that dumb purple house got away with that eyesore purple siding!!!

i fixed it by getting a mic without DTMF and threw the original one with DTMF in a baggie and into my glovebox

what's funny is that after owning the TM-V71A for years, it just started this. I wonder what caused it to suddenly start?

This is the kind of video that needs to go around the camp fire a few times. These are the kind of question people are either shy to ask or not sure what they are asking. Basics are important too. A good foundation with proper etiquette makes for a well rounded operator ✌

You bought a house with a HOA? Still young and stupid huh?? Its ok, you will learn..

18:56 HOA Approved a purple striped house?

Well done Mike! Thanks. I will share with our Northern Wyoming club.

This was very informative thank you for putting it together. I'm a new HAM and this explained repeats for me

I have only one problem with Gridtracker,. I have a Yaesu 991a but I cannot get audio alerts. I am not positive, but believe this is because all sounds are through the USB PORT? 73 N6ZKI

Bart yes my wife also did some amazing Ginger snaps! de KD0FQN

Just found this video and I love this solution. Question question about the pinout. You used schedule B to schedule B I assume but what didn't click for me was which wire is switched. Did you mean the solid orange wire?

What a fantastic down to earth video Bob, resonant antennas are the best but anything that you can get to match will work better than having no antennas at all. Keep up all your good work 73's from Liverpool the home of the Beatles. Regards Dave Fletcher. 😀

Googled: HOA is short for Home Owners' Association. Non-profit organizations to help manage, run, and maintain a community.

What about taking a leaf out of W5JGVs book if you are on HF.

This a neat video. Ada new ham. I understand better through actually touching things. Then out of a book. I will share this with my ham club new members.

My Interest is Echo Link. I Believe Ham Radio, is Going to Be Computers. in The Future.

Thanks, interesting stuff KL5CZ

hi hoa wold have lots of problems wit me if i wold move to us having full band hf antenna coveryng every band from 6m to 22km band 4 whf uhf other 2 separet antennas its a shame that other peple limit you on antenas one day they whold need your help on an emergency what whill hapen then

Thank you for this video im also dealing with hoa mafia union. Good idead for stealth antennas

Thought you may like theVHF/UHF Vertical Dipole, I saw a video for on here. It is made of 2 stanles steal welding rods bent where one part is for VHF and the other is for UHF. One of the bent rods points up the other points down mounted on some PVC pipe. The rods are 1/8 thick and 36 inches long so there is much is cut off when tuning. This would not be hard to hide. Other things you may or may not know is that NASA is asking for help from hams in the solar eclipse, for propagation study in the eclipse. I hope we have a lot of hams get going for this. This is something that hams do anyway. Thank you for the ideas you are giving out, we need to help each other. 73 W4DES

I have a few questions regarding repeaters. Do you have an email I can talk to you on?

I wish the pictures place holder was the opposite. When you where pointing out the driven element for the MOXON I couldn't see a thing at 10:20 .

What a great program Grid Tracker is. Thank you for your efforts on this project. 5 Stars! Art W1SWL

I don't understand how you would allow a wife to determine that your radio can't be visible. I would do the same to her with her things. Believe me there must be something you can object too which she would then have to give in on having a radio being visible. You have given her too much power for such a mundane thing. I realize you want peace in your home. But her need for a an idealized concept of museum as a home does not trump your hobby. I have always had my ham radio equipment in our bedroom. We live in an small apartment. No there are no affordable homes in New York City. And no I don't wish to move to somewhere where I did not grow up. I have roots in my community. Again, I can't imagine a spouse dictating so much. If you have paid for half of all the expenses, you have the right to have your radios out in the open. I am not talking about the antennas, just the radio. Does she not care about you? 73 De N2LRB

Great talk! Relevant information, sources cited, presented slow and concise. Good job all!!

Thank you! 73 DE K5VPC

I'm not a handy guy. Are these available to purchase anywhere?

August 21st, 2021? Really?

your contact was with Helio PV8AL in Boa Vista, Brazil.

Wow nice video, great antennas, cheers.

Do you have documentation for the vertical antenna and the loading coils ? I'd be very interested in building one of them.

Really enjoyed the inservice training. Terrific was the chat session afterwards. Too bad it ended…

Great presentation. I enjoyed the stealth of your Antennas. I've been in apartments, condo's and small yard houses. I will warn anyone in an apartment building. Be careful of your output power with indoor HF antennas. I was working nights, so I played radio at night on my days off, and while tuning up with 100 watts at 3:00 AM my RF set off the buildings fire alarms. Oops! I had a lot of fun and some frustration trying to get on the Air.
