If it works, it works. It doesn't have to be fancy. 👍

I'll bet my 401K those keyboard warrior Sad Hams would not act that way to your face. Even if they were brave enough to make the attempt, Ham Radio Cat would claw their eyes out! 😀 I too, have seen some loss of decodes with locals when strong signals were present. This took place when my Dad was still around. This was years ago using WSJT. It could have also been a propagation issue, as the dork Sad Hams mentioned. 73! de WX0V

Thanks for the HRC action camera. A Ham PI clock on the TV would be nice! Thanks for the video! 73

Very informative video! Thank you! 73 😀

Nice New Shack BigBoy!!!!!

Great information!! Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed 73!!!

David the shack is coming along and looks great!! Thanks for sharing! I look forward to seeing all the progress!! My wife has decided to let me have one of our smaller bedrooms for my shack as it has become a catch all room!!!! Enjoyed

"CAT, CAT...DAD-GUMMIT!" was alone worth the price of admission! Ham Radio Cat steals the show, again! 😀 Looking forward to seeing the shack progress here...73! de WX0V

Good looking 73 KD9YSW

I bet you can't wait! Looks like you will have just a ton more room. Congrats!

Very Nice shack David! Thanks for sharing. 73!

Thanks for sharing ! 73 de n0km

Thanks for showing us your progress. It's really taking shape nicely. I appreciate your style and approach to the hobby. Instill think watching your videos is like a good rag chew. 73, Bill.

Hello Ham Radio Cat David and Family. 73s from Ralph in New Hampshire !!!

Its coming together quite nicely!

Thanks for another great video. I like seeing how other people do their ham shacks! I have to spend tomorrow doing wire and cable management. I get so excited getting new stuff that I temporarily wire it and then get too lazy to redo it neatly. You probably tried this to get the TV to work as a monitor but: right-click on your desktop, select "Display settings", then in the "Display resolution" section, choose the "1920 x 1080" option from the dropdown menu and click "Apply" - this is usually marked as "Recommended" if it's your monitor's native resolution. I don't know if this will help but since you always give us viewers helpful information, I thought I'd try to return the favor. Thanks again. I'm looking forward to seeing the final work on the shack...73...Hugh...KN6KNB

Looks good, what's the power distribution board above the power supply? 73

Happy Thanksgiving.

I will be operating at the NWS in La Crosse, WI (WX9ARX) on Dec 7th. I hope to make contact with all of you. Jason, N9MOE

Happy Thanksgiving from KQ4WRU and family

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 73, KF0NNQ.

David, you, Ham Radio Cad and the Mrs. have a great Thanksgiving !!! Ralph KJ4PFC

I bring my coax in through one of the vents in the foundation crawlspace.

Right? I'll never understand that mentality. If you're going to spend the time and effort to answer a question, why make it useless and/or irrelevant information?

Great video again Bigboy 73 KD9YSW.

im down for some meshtastic, bben talkingg to your buddy about it for a little while

I got one of those flat ribbon jumpers that go under a window sash. It works great. I got the cheap one off ebay for like 12 bucks.

Just on a side note that kind of goes along with what He said... I use to install the large c band satellite fiberglass dishes. I had a gentleman that created a board very similar to what he is discussing in this video. There were no electrical connections going through this board at all. Signal only. When his yearly insurance inspection came around they immediately told him he would be canceled if he did not have a certified electrician come out and verify no power was going through the coax. Simply as a friendly reminder keep your insurance requirements and regulations in mind when you pass anything through a window. Every state is different. My friend who is now a silent key had his coax running to a 2 m and a 70 cm antenna on a tower.. they threatened to cancel his homeowners insurance. Now as for me I have almost identical what he has described in this video and it works well for me I have a drip loop for each individual feed line coming in to a right angle connector then to the pass through zero problems works great!

Folks, when I sent my question to Dave, I received a very detailed reply. Thank you, sir. While I cannot say that he will always do this, I can say that I appreciated it. I hope your channel QRX. Thanks again and 73, Bill.

Good idea about mailbag Monday or what ever day you make. I got my Tech ticket in 2023 and my General in 2024. I am full of questions. It's a fun hobby but can be confusing sometimes. Keep up the great work. 73 Charles KF0NGN

Great video David very well stated as always!! Congrats to the 1700 sub giveaway!! 73

When people ask me a question, I try to be as complicated and obtuse as possible as it clearly shows my superior mind and commanding knowledge of any subject that may come across. Lulz.. Have a great day Dave!

Yes! 👍

I'm a 60-year-old new ham and am looking into getting my first radio. Your videos are very helpful and encouraging. Thanks.

I am a new ham with technician license. Thanks for the info. I have a handheld and saving for a base. KQ4WRU

Always good david! 73

Back in the day AM guys didn't like SSB. You will always have naysayers. All you can do is be the best Elmer/Operator you can be. Lead by example. Thanks for the video Dave! 73

As always I enjoyed the video. I hope you and your Dad and Ham Radio Cat are all well. 73s KJ4PFC Ralph

Glad your Dad is OK and settling in! Great video! I got into Arduino and ESP-32 based communication projects because I eventually wanted to build small HF radios. The MESH stuff is interesting. My radio club here has built a large network of nodes in the county and beyond. While I'm always going to be an SSB guy, I like experimenting with other forms of radio communication. I suspect the whole MESH craze will bring some new blood into the hobby. As for people waiting until the disaster hits, I run into too many people that buy gear, set it up, and then don't spend any time learning how to use it. Thankfully, I'm the opposite: I do research on gear before I buy it, including watching a bunch of RUclips videos on how to use it. The way things are today, a zombie epidemic wouldn't surprise me! Thanks again for the video...73...Hugh...KN6KNB

I have 2 meshtastic nodes, t-beam supreme and a raspberry pi system.

We have new nodes popping up weekly out my way. You can get into it cheap and it is a lot of fun to watch the mesh grow. I will not be surprised if you and I can communicate over the mesh before too long! Keep up the great work Bigboy, 73!

Why couldn’t you see a local on ft8?

I'm not going to lie I learned something new tonight. I'm going to have to look into this also especially just from the encryption angle. You are correct as many people as possible that are knowledgeable with electronics being drawn into amateur radio is a great thing. Great video as always keep up the good work!

Always good David! Hope your dad does well.73!

David, glad your Dad is good and Ham Radio Cat looks good too. 73s KJ4PFC Ralph

You can also get meshtastic nodes that operate on the 70cm band. There is even a board that can act as a APRS digipeter and or an I-Gate. It can be a deep hole just do your research. Hope you enjoy it. 73

Just a minor correction. Not the lower 900Mhz, the upper. between 902Mhz and 928Mhz ISM (industrial Scientific Medical) band. Im not sure I told you the exact frequencies when we were talking about it yesterday.

There's always someone that has to thump their chest. I just try to ignore or even block them if needed. But honestly, I mostly dropped social media a couple of years ago and my life has been a hundred times better. I'm like you, I hop on there to ask questions if I can't figure something out and then I remember why I'm not on there.😅😅
