I'm a general. I'm also retired and disabled on a extremely limited income. I'm saving $10 per month for the eventual purchase of a QT60 or similar. Why? Cost is a huge factor. But living in an assisted living center, space is at a premium... Particularly when it comes to antenna options. Mounting a mobile antenna to my mobility scooter for outdoor use is not out of the question. Given my health, this may be my last opportunity to work HF other than at a club station. A 10-meter only rig fits my use case and limitations to a tee. You're 100% on point, Josh. Not every option is the best option for every ham. Thank you for pointing that out. 73 de W9FLV

I'm running an Anytone AT 5555N1, the 30 watt first version of this radio. I have it tuned up it's running 50 Watts on SSB and FM and 20 watts on AM. The antenna I'm using is a mag mount vertical either a 10-meter miniature hamstick or my 4 foot high Wilson 5000 whip. I have made contacts all over the world and I have all these antennas in my closet. My point is I just wanted to let you know that you can make it work man!🙂 When I tell people I'm running an antenna that's in my closet and they can't believe it but hey it works! 73 and good luck man.

Great reading your very descriptive and on-point posting. I relate fully, as I too, am disabled. Rated at 100%, which means I truly am connected to much of the outside world by hamster Commo. I’m studying vigorously for the General exam. Just wrapping my first year as a ham. Been a steep learning curve as well as steep spending curve. I run a TYT TH9800 Quad band and a Xiegu G-90HF rig. The cool thing about the daily evening net I do is that its semi-informal. With the fact of mostly same folks daily, is that its just like having 40 of my friends over to visit every evening- but I don’t have to worry about what to wear, or are my few hairs combed. 73 to All!

I'm in the same boat, started with ham in Canada back in 1992, then to the US in '95 as a Tech Plus. Life got in the way, I went silent and let my license lapse until last month, re-wrote my technician, and studying for my General now. I plan to do a lot of SOTA out here in Idaho. Josh's videos and streams have really helped get me re-interested in the hobby.

I want to incorporate this hobby, with my other hobby of riding motorcycles, and use POTA and SOTA as a means to do both. So, videos like this are just what I need to keep learning how things work.

But now this lazy old guy needs some motivation to get the radios out of their boxes and string some antenna wires, you might have just done it!

10m can be very effective but does have some limitations based on band openings. During the higher solar cycle, it's open more often, but is still mostly a daytime band. When the f layer MUF isn't high enough, sporadic E can still give some good openings in the summer and winter seasons. And for both of those, it's mostly a daytime band. All of that said, it is open more often than folks give it credit for, and what better way to test the propagation than setting up at a park and posting up a spot? It won't always work, and it helps to understand the limitations, but a lot of times you really can be successful just operating on 10m.

Many is the times I have operated mobile and stationary from my truck (a '79 GMC) and had a ball! Makes a trip very interesting and not boring. I have a Yaesu FT-857 D plus 2m and 6m radios (FT-290R MkII and FT-690 Mk II multimodes) all in a line under the dash. All the antennas make my truck look like a porcupine. While driving, I just listen in on whatever band is active. If I get involved in a QSO, I pull over on the shoulder to talk so I am not distracted driving. Glad to see you getting out on POTA. 73 de W4FJF.

Awesome video! My first hf radio in my truck was an anyone at-6666 a few years ago shortly after I got my general. I talked across the US, and into Europe and South America on band openings and had a blast driving down the road going from job location to job location, or while traveling out of town on vacation or for work. I used a trimmed 11m Sirio antenna on a magnet mount on the roof. Finally got a multi band hf mobile rig in my truck, but still have the anytone. If anything, I'll probably give it to a new general or technician looking to get on the air. My advice to those technicians or those looking to get their ham radio licence: get your general at least, it opens up a whole new world. I wish I had gotten mine years ago. 73 N2SCD

Hi Josh - i just came across this video. I am glad to see someone that has a fairly large collection of radios and doing reviews points out that not everything is for everyone. I think people get too caught up in “gotta have it all at once”. I too laugh at that masses that feel and express radio has to be done a certain way. Man just get on the air and enjoy the hobby. For some it’s their only thing and they invest heavily, and for others, they just enjoy the fact that they can pick up a low cost radio, and talk around the world. I have been involved in radio preceding my military time, modifying single channel walkies talkies into a one band police scanner, dating back to the late 70’s and early 80’s. Heck, even had a CB for some time, i remember talking to folks in Big Bear to my house there in Whittier. Anyway, 73 and thanks for doing what you do with this channel.

I remember sitting on 10m talk back frequency listening to the back scatter waiting for the MUF to hit 6 meters then working NZ, South Africa, Europe... all on 6 meters and 10 meters when 6 closed again...

Good that you showed that activators are in charge, and don't have to limit themselves to a report and 73. Makes POTA more interesting. For those just getting started wanting to keep expenses down, it would have been good to see you actually launch that throw weight! Reiner N2PEZ

I may get a General later if I like it as much as I think I will. During my research I ran across POTA. Also an RV "network" I think somewhere in the 10 meter band. I need to verify it is in the small HF band covered by the Tech license. Anyway this type of radio and a portable 10 meter antenna look like a not "too" expensive way to reenter the hobby!

Great video. I've been hunting POTA for a few months, planning on getting a portable antenna for activating next year. I refer to the AT-6666 as the "quad 6." I find it's easier to say...not as awkward. Keep it up, hope to get you in my log eventually. 73 de VE5RJK

Love your videos and it was great meeting you at Monte Sano. I would love to see a 10 & 11 meter radio to do double duty. Not sure of the implications, but sure would be nice.

Just do not query ytube for 10 meter mods. You will not find what you are looking for! 😂

Hi Josh, Not only nice, quick equipment setup & tear down,. But using the truck tailgate as an operating location makes it nice and solid too; though I would definitely suggest putting up a sun shade using the side rail holes for support ⛱️ and making it easier to read the displays. 73

I like it! But one of those stale pocket holes is going to have an antenna in it soon.

My club hands out 10M rigs to techs who need a radio and with the current band conditions it's a great time to get into HF!

Brand new to ham KJ5DWS. I really appreciate your videos. Your study guides got me through Technician and I passed General on Saturday. If you ever want to pass any of those radios on to a new ham, feel free to hit me up! :)

Skip is a lot of fun when the ionosphere lets you in. As a Jr. high schooler in the 60s I latched on to a very used Johnson Viking I crystal 5 watt CB. One Saturday morning I made contact with the Bahamas from Los Angeles. I was hooked. Several years later I was driving my LA County sheriff patrol car one summer when daytime conditions stayed good for a month or two. Back then they were 100 watts FM on 39 MHz. All summer we all had to listen to a one pony sheriffs office in Alabama until the sun went down. I never found out if they could hear us pounding the transmitters county wide 24x7. How can you be serious with bad guys when your radio speaker is punching out a Southern drawl "unit oooooone, unit twooooo".

You can lock the clarifier RX and TX together in the menu to help with frequency drift which these style radios suffer from.

Many years ago, I had a Radio Shack 10M SSB rig that I used in my mobile with a license plate mounted Ham Stick. I would talk on 10M during my commute from Santa Cruz to San Jose.
