California POTA Jan 2025 - CW with my IC-705
I wanted to take you all on my trip to US-1184 - a POTA activation where I had an opportunity to use my Wolf River Coils antenna and my Icom 705. Both worked pretty well.
Full disclosure, there were a ton of folks up at the summit, so I doubled back a bit and found a spot off the side of the trail.
Also - Some lessons learned at the end. Mainly - This was such a terrible CW video since I had to use my phone for HamRS to log the contact, so it kept cutting the video off. My apologies!

The CFT1 - CW Field Transceiver
Просмотров 1 тыс.2 месяца назад
I'm thankful that Jonathan - KM4CFT trusted me to do a review and workout of this transceiver. I think its an awesome little radio and worked well both on a POTA activation but also while mobile! My only criticism (which may have been more my fault) was the audio just couldnt crank up high enough with an external speaker. Earphones would be better, and quite frankly would probably use them any ...

QSO with N4FFF - one of the Ham Radio Duos!!
Просмотров 3313 месяца назад
Had a fun QSO sith Mike of the Ham Radio Duo channel here on RUclips. I had my ham alert let me know when he was calling CQ, and it looks like I just got him. I wasnt expecting to do a QSO since I thought he was doing POTA, but it was a nice surprise, so I took the opportunity to pull up my note pad and try to transcribe the QSO. I hope it helped. CW on!!!
Single Lever Call sign oops
Просмотров 3343 месяца назад
For those that are striving for perfection, Ill tell ya - its not easy. Here I am attempting to contact the POTA babe - KO4WFP early this morning, and I screwed up my call sign a couple of times. I'm trying to get more into single lever paddles, and this is how its going :-)
Solid State CW Paddle by 9A5N

I received a special edition paddle from 9A5N and wanted to showcase it for you all. He sells these paddles from his website and they are made in Croatia. When I ordered mine, it only took about 10 days. It takes two AAA batteries and has some adjustment ability for the sensitivity.

Now THAT was boring! lol just kidding! Nice to see you on the trail! I wonder if there is a SOTA spot near there??? Thanks for the video! Mike KK7MMN
@@miketaylor6700 hahaaa thanks Mike!
Yes, thanks for sharing bud!! 👍🏻🎙️
Thanks for sharing, OM. 73
Nice WX for January! I've like the place! Cheerio, Sir.

How can you get the Atas120a to work with a ICOM radio. That blows my mind am I missing something about the Atas120a antenna system I don't know about the Atas120a antenna. Please fill me in on the information please. 73 AE4OY WILLIAM PEACOCK EM-81UF Blackshear, Georgia USA
Thanks to this video I just did the same thing. Really cool. I don’t have any yet amp yet. Can you tell me what amp that is please. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
@@Aaron-nn4ot this is one of those RM Italy amps I do have two so I didn't remember which one that is. I think it's the 300w version
@@k9kj ok thanks. I just did a pota hunt with this set up testing it out and hit Omaha NE from Goodyear AZ 5 watts cw. See you on the air sometime. W7AEW. 73
I really have to rate the German made Bamakey TP-2 above anything else I've used. Precision German engineering at its finest. Springless with adjustable magnetic returns. Nice wide adjustment screws with additional locking screws on them to prevent drift. Heavy base that holds it tight for shack work, but is instantly detachable for field use. And it's just so damn smooth in operation. Oh, and I can comfortably use it single-handed handheld : ))) I never did find another key this well engineered. Cost seems a little high till you see how well constructed it is and consider that it's going to last a lifetime. Definitely my 'dream paddle' for how I operate. If you ever get a chance to try one, do give it a workout... it's a lovely paddle : )
@@garychap8384 I will definitely try it out, especially after that awesome review! Thanks!
At 3:44 you are illustrating very nicely why I hate iambic B. Two of your trials to key a K with iambic B are failing! I rest my case... Best 73 de HA7RJA - Rob
Did you look at the capacitor connected to the speaker lead in the back of the cabinet? I use a Visaton FR 10-8 4" Full-Range Speaker in a separate cabinet. Good job. 👍
I thought this was impossible but now I get 95+% of the first group and 80% of the 2nd group😂
this is by far the most helpful video I saw for a beginner in CW. If you get that typing screen bigger and in higher definition it would be great. Could watch this all day long and I think it helps me learning CW when we see you translating on screen. Thx a lot mate.
@@johngisbourne7197 very cool, and thank you very much! I will try to get some more of these and type it in high resolution for everybody. Thanks for that suggestion!
Lying in bed, lights out, screen dim, just writing it down in the dark with an imaginary pencil on my pillow. Love it !
@@johngisbourne7197 Now we are talking!
Been practicing my listening for a bit, was intrigued by iambic keying, so installed Morse-It. But was getting frustrated with the sloppiness of my timing. So glad I came across this video. I had no idea iambic keying could do this. Everything instantly became easier and more professional sounding. Thank you!
@@nathanaelculver5308 that is super cool to hear!
Thanks! 🍺
No audio when explaining the RTS/DTR functions in the K3
I am so confused by the multiple minutes of starting at the radio and you're pointing at the screen and there's NO audio?
Can you tell me where you got your desk mat? Thanks. Mark W4MMR. Not shown in this video of course.
@@maxrkmrose no problem... I got it at www.hamboutique.com they are great and have a number of styles to choose from. I have two smaller ones and the monster big one
I was a Radio optr. When i was in Arms force .Morse codes was difficult to learn and keep in memory morse code is very interesting to send and receive the msgs.through WT in CW and in RT.Thanks
How much does a L&MAO paddle weigh, any idea ?
This is so helpful!
@@EdwinJr.Gaynor thank you for watching (and listening)
This is the best example of Iambic A vs B on RUclips. Maybe the whole internet!
@@N7KOM Tim!!! You're too nice!! But thank you!
I have tried to learn cw. The simplicity on your reaching helps.
You gave me some great ideas! Just subscribed. Thanks! KN6YSJ
@@PataruskiC awesome and thanks! Go LA dodgers!
You need to cover that when out and about parking or some crack head will steal it.
Thank you.
What kind of paint did you use?
Ô cara Mentiroso!!
Two years ago!? lol well at least RUclips is keeping old posts relevant lol
Beautiful clean setup there! In comparing the antennas are you talking about 10 or 80m? Of course the ATAS won't do 80, if anything the ATAS should be marginally better on 10 because it is higher up (lower ground loss), but below 20m the Tarheel should give you way more results. 1/2-2 s units. A detailed comparison would be really helpful as mobile installs are very time consuming and expensive. Thanks es 73
Onboard power supply in your truck???? More info please.
Deaf, Dumb and Silent..... Just the way I like my Women.
@@glenng.8254 well... Maybe just communicate via CW! 😎🤣
Thank you so much for doing this video!!!
@@shanebaker9975 you bet!! Have fun and thanks for watching!
Well done! 👍 And I like Your 705 cup holder,of course! Is it printable for me? 😉 73 and HNY Sir!
@@harryszwergstatt2879 thanks! And yes, I do sell them on Etsy... Let me know if you want one
My ATAS-120A is a hunk of junk! Rarely tunes up, is slow, goes all way down and stops there. I need to tune it multiple times. Have reset my FT-891 and re-done settings and still cannot get it to function properly. I appreciate your video. I ended up buying MFJ-939Y.
anyone here for delta force?
I have my paddle ordered so I can go back to play along with you! This is just brilliant teaching, thank you! Learning Morse again after over 20yrs! I just earned my Extra so new learning Thank you for these
@@pixgeekphotography very cool! Thank you for watching!
@ love your technique thanks for posting
Just to make sure I get that correctly (I am not a native English speaker): When - on hearing the morse code letter - first the visual representation of dits and dahs appears in my head (e. g. "-.-") and afterwards or best case at the same time the character ("K"), it is NOT what is supposed to happen. Instead I definitely need to eliminate that intermediate step, otherweise it all will not work. Correct? 🤔 73 de DL1HNR

Great Video. thank you
@@Keith-KC1OZK thanks Keith
Great video...just got a BY 1 but without the Allen key type wrench to adjust the posts...do you know where I can get one of those...standard Allen key doesn't seem to fit. Thanks 73
How would you rate the GHD against the RA1AOM, UR5CDX, N3ZN, 9A5N and other premium paddles (Begali, Frattini?) you have owned or used? I would like to get a key with a smoother/lighter action but can't find a paddle showroom near me to try them all out...
Yeah, I was chatting about that, not that I know anything (as a wanna be HAM guy), but my take was/is: The 'language' or the 'alphabet' is Morse code and the 'medium' HAM people use is CW. I could do Morse code on a bucket, or on a wall, or on the hull of a ship to send message that "I'M Alive!' . Haha.
@@Coyotehello 🤣😎
"secret language" yes this is one of the thing that attracted me to it. 🙂
0k, this is going to be completely silly. BUT. In the spirit of "the only stupid question is the question that is never asked"... I do not understand how it your radio that determine the speed of what you are sending? Isn't it how fast you're "paddling" your key (with your fingers) that sends the di and dah??? What is happening here?
@@Coyotehello actually a great question! There is a speed knob that you use on the radio to control the speed. In some of my "shorts" videos where I'm using my Icom 705, a bunch of times you can see the speed indicator on the right side of the display.
Gee you have 3 of them! Three. Here I am dreaming of being able to afford one! LOL The one you adjust from 00:25 until 06:53 is really the nicest in my view. Stunning, dare I say... Sexy? 🙂
@@Coyotehello I know this doesn't make it any better, but I saved up for my first one back in 2014... So it had been a while. I think the next one came in 2017, and the third was like 2022 I think. They are a dream to operate.
Officer I’m not texting and driving it’s CW 😂 love the setups
@@joeh5050 hahaaaa thank you!
I forgot to mention from your other video This is a very niiiiice key. 🙂
@@Coyotehello it is definitely one of my favorites - probably my most favorite!
These companies suck when it come to innovation they can't even make functional mounting hardware and God forbid it comes with it.
When I set up the standard port for CW it says the port is in use. I restarted the PC with the same issue. The enhanced port seems to be working and I can change the frequency. How do I find out what is using the port?
Another great video, thanks! I LOVE the mirror ball, in fact I need that mirror ball! LOL "When the fhit hits the san" LOL Never heard that before. 🙂 Yes, I am learning code... Thank you. I just bought a BAMA TPIII (in red) and I am tickle pink about receiving it. My first key.
@@Coyotehello very awesome! Love it!
