I love watching your videos. My uncle and his ham buddies just finished my HF station, I ended up buying his older Kenwood TS-990s (€2500) from him for what he claims is "a fantastic price". I also ended up buying a very expensive antenna (€10,500) that fit on my roof and the landlord approved of me using so I have something called a stepper (stepir?) that goes from 80M to 6M and adjusts itself when I tune my radio. I also bought a used Acom 2000A from one of my uncles ham friends for what was really a fair price (€1500) because I guess he didn't use it anymore and thought I was pretty or something.. Whatever I'll take it. The antenna is up about 25 metres and everyone is happy. Maybe we can talk sometime! I contributed beer and whiskey to the effort, and a bag of peas when my uncles friend banged his head. They're meant to come back and put in a vertical antenna this summer to finish things up, but I'll be in the states visiting friends when they do.
Great job Capt Darren! This is quite some hard work til everything is finished up and property looking nice and clean again. A fatass thumbsup from your Friend uncle Guenter 💯👍🙋♂.

Congratulations on your setup. I'd like to see it all setup. The steppir antenna is very nice. You can find my email on QRZ.
Hello Darren. Thanks for sharing your experience. Excellent video. Considering buying the same antenna. Take care and all the best from Mike VE3XLF

Thank you Uncle Guenter.
Nice video Captain
Love the videos
32 ground radials is the "magic number. Took me 2 cases of beer.
2 cases of beer? lol I bet you lost count on how many radials you laid down. Cheers!
Why did you not take a leaf out of (SK)W5JGV's and re-create his Treetenna and if the tuner box looks like a birdhouse then you should be good to go.
Look into yard staples to have degradable at Lowe's or home depot or Or shall place like that. Make thanks a lot easier for your brother
