Видео

Да друг спасибо тебе за видео. Да я купил такую же антенну которая требует ремонта. Думаю я справлюсь. Друг ты ей еще пользуешься ? Получилось на 80-ке настроить хорошее SWR ? О да, 10 Ватт до Пенсильвании круто ! R8LDJ, 73 ! ! !

techminds did a review on a clone of one of these. Very cool ill have to get one for my hermes.

Another video reading the spec sheets in front of a camera... There is also a few good people in the USA, do not hold their government killing ppl around the world for decades, against the people... ICOM IC 705, "much more advanced" I would disagree with that. Don't understand why you are dissing the TX500 for key work. Still, thx for the video.

Just add the weight of the BP-500!

Icom 705 Best rig

That's very wise words, about the war. Just ordered tx500+carry bag with logo+bp500 battery pack for 650 pounds, probably ICOM can't beat that)😂

These are great practice tips. I seem to listen to CW in the car more than music. I guess it is music to the ear. Thanks for the tips. 73s

Thanks, this is great and I'm taking it to our EC. KD9PDE

You used WD40 to lubricate the tower, WD40 is for water displacement. You should use CLP or 3-in-1 to lubricate instead of WD40

I dig this - would be fun to just play the game with a few friends. Let me know if you want make a 4 play version and we can play via HF and live stream it!

Good afternoon, can you tell me which coaxial cable is inside the antenna please, I have one and would like to recover it, thank you. 73 de CT1EYF.

I bought this antenna two months ago to take on vacation. Spent a week in CA at a local hotel chain, 2nd floor room. Running an ICOM 705 at 10 watts with the mag loop antenna on a tripod. I was operating FT 8 mode inside the hotel, over a period of 5 days I made 65 QSO’s on 4 different bands. I was able to catch East Coast, West Coast and Mid West stations. Plus several contacts with Japan and Australia. I highly recommend this antenna for portable operating when confined to a hotel room indoors, it does the job…. Quality of the antenna is good too.

Another great idea!

I really like your ideas for "gamifying" drills like this. It has a ton of potential. This one, for whatever reason, makes me think of watching th eold MASH re-runs as a kid when Radar would be on the radio bartering with the other MASH units for supplies. Great idea!

I own both, and love both. TX-500/BP-500 is great for backpack trips (hike with tent any weather). IC-705 is premium qrp radio and any other travels it in my suitcase. Both do digital: FT8, RTTY or CW. IC-705 everything is premium comparing to TX-500

The sandbags is a good tip. I've used gallon jugs a few times when the ground was frozen or I was in a parking lot.

I bought my TX-500 a few months after they were introduced, and I waited five months to get it. I was well worth the wait! I guess that I've had it for over three years now and I still love that little radio. It's built like a brick but operates as well as I could have ever hoped for. I run it using an EFHW and regularly check into a few daily nets. Although I get stomped on by the guys with high power (welcome to QRP world!), I still get through on most days. I always get signal reports that I'm readable, even if my signal is barely above the noise. The audio compression feature is amazing. At this point, I've sworn off QRO (20 watts or greater). I just don't feel that I need it. My tiny little battery lasts forever (110ma receive current). The display is super visible. I'm still running the original firmware, but I guess that there are lots of improvements if I want them. After **struggling** with an original FT-817, this rig is the exact opposite. It does what I want, when I want with NO drama. I must admit that I was nervous buying a radio that didn't have the Icom / Yaesu brand, but now I's really super happy that I did. What an **AMAZING** radio.

First you called up some Month Python and then the cocktail joke. Excellent

Permission to secure was always a welcome transmission.

Love the hat.

Hi Tom, I like watching these Vlogs. Keep them coming. You and Laura stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Thanks, this was helpful. I haven't used solar yet, but it's something I've been thinking about.

Thank you. Time to do it myself. You saved me many hours!

I like this idea - we have been struggling to come up with engaging scenarios. I'd love to see what the deck looks like. Marty, WK0E

Where do I find the game? A dungeons and dragons type game. Great idea.

Thanks for the video. Can this method be used to run WSJT-X wirelessly?

Hi Tom, That's a great way to get rid of the stumps short of digging them out. Glad Augi is back to being himself. Hope he stays that way. Have seen a few of those lantern flies here and kill them every chance I get. Don't know what you could do in your situation. You and Laura stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Thanks for the summary of the two radios. I also own both rigs and it's nice to know there's other hams conflicted like me of which one to buy...so I bought both too! I added the BP500 battery pack to mine so my TX-500 isn't as svelte as it once was but it's as capable as the IC-705 with its built in battery pack. For POTA I bring both so depending what mood I'm in that day that's the rig I use. Best 73, K9AT

Good idea, you might consider integrating the various ICS forms. Your ‘served agencies’ will appreciate them.

Tom what a great idea 💡 have a go and make a set then take them to the Arrl and Ares great to get feed back 73 brother

Cool idea! Sharing this with local friends. 👍

Very informative video. I have not started using solar yet maybe one day. 73s.

do you have a diagram of the 36:1?

Your club seems so cool. The local club here just caters to county search and rescue and cuts weeds at the club house. super lame.

Thank you for this. I downloaded the PDF and ordered the resistors. Can't wait to build it!

Very nice build. I think it's great your club does projects like this.

Very awesome club activity! 73!

Hi Tom, Always enjoy your build videos. You and Laura stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Very nice way to document the day. Thanks again for hosting. 73s

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on both of these great radios. I was admiring the protective covers you put both radios, could you please share a link to them?? Thanks!

I learned a bit there…. Thanks!

Have you tried the Buddystick with the screen for a ground plane?

Hi Tom and Laura, Enjoyed these short videos on your anniversary trip. That WV country sure is gorgeous. Both of you stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Another cool adventure. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

Looks like a nice place to visit. It is fantastic to see your dog on the boat with you. Dead Bodies? Have a safe trip.

Just a side note on the sheet bend. It is called that because in sailing, line/ropes that are attached to the corner of sails are called "sheets." With this knot you can tie a rope to the corner of a piece of cloth (like a sail) and turn that rope into a "sheet." In knots the term "bend" is when you tie two ropes together. So sheet bend is a completely descriptive term/name.

Tangooscarmike! hello~ Enjoyed. outstanding editing-
