My minds telling me yeahhhhh! But my checkbook, my checkbook is telling me nooooo! Lol

[@maddogusmarines]

I met you at Hamcation. I was the guy in the blue power chair talking to Mike (K8MRD). It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for this informative video. As a disabled veteran and amputee that POTAs, i am alsways looking for something easier to deploy from my scooter/wheelchair. This is a game changer!

[@Mr3bairs]

Thank you for your service, from KA9MIC. Silent Service 90-96. I agree as I have some mobility issues from Cancer related surgeries, this would be very helpful.

[@maddogusmarines]

@@Mr3bairs thank you for yours! I almost signed up for Special Security Forces. That would have put me in the same bases as you. I live close to Kings Bay and I may have been stationed there. I chose motor transport instead. As for antennas, I currently use ham sticks, Buddistick Pro, ATAS 120, or a WRC when I am activating. It depends on how I feel. If I make it out and I don't feel well, I just slap a ham stick on a mag mount and work 20m. That is why I have a lot of contacts on 20m.

[@NathanMazanec]

The honesty is refreshing. That would be how I would tune an antenna!

[@mgrimes-N6SEE]

Love all these accessibility innovations!

[@thehamjazz]

Steve is the best! I'm a huge Alpha Antenna fan! Thanks for posting this great video Josh - fantastic.

I love my Alpha EZ Miltary Portable Antenna

[@cloudstrife5209]

I bought this one antenna that is extremely small but has a perfect SWR reading on all bands. I just can receive anyone on it though. 🤔😂

[@Suffocation03]

hey Josh, I’ve been binge watching your videos and many other videos from other people for the last three weeks since I caught the bug for HAM (I do not have my ham radio license yet, but I plan on getting it) so basically three weeks ago I bought the Baofeng BF-F8HP the very next day I bought two Btech GMRS Pro Radios, and two days ago I bought the Yaesu FT5D. anyway, my question is about the Yaesu FT5D, basically it takes forever to charge. I’ve watched videos, but haven’t found anything recent about charging it faster. what do you recommend for charging it fast but keeping it very minimal like a USB-C cable with an adapter or something like that. I’ve seen some videos and I’ve read about the drop in charger from Yaesu and some offbrands from Amazon that will charge it in about four hours. what are your thoughts? as for the ham radio license, I’ve been taking practice tests and studying a bit when I have time it doesn’t seem too difficult. My problem is I live in Myrtle Beach but I’m originally from New York but I have no clue where to go around here to take the test. on another note, I used to play professionally in a band called Suffocation. You can look us up on Facebook or KZbin.. thanks for taking the time to help people, Guy Marchais

[@tonyd6884]

I have what I suppose is the second edition of the first ez-military with the stainless steel loading coil. is this worth the upgrade?

[@markw365]

math gets you close, real world dials it in.

[@DD5LP]

The salesman is honest, they kludged the matching to get an swr dip where they wanted it. Amateur experimentation at its best!

[@oncomics1128]

Is that loop a hotel room antenna?

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

You can use it in a hotel. It be warned. Hotels have a lot of rfi.

[@VE9ASN]

Thats wayyyyy too many "I dunno's" from someone trying to sell me something..... Especially about the ocfd.

[@kylefreemason]

The swr isn’t great and the antenna is clunky. Easier to just carry a 49:1 or wrc. For the price it is a hard no.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Ok. Some people don’t have your level of mobility. Use what works for you.
