- Previously I have used coring bits and made large holes but the wind and weather gets in. This time I used a weather sealed enclosure which seems to have worked great. Callum.

Keep up the great videos Callum, you are an inspiration to everyone and we love the content you produce!
I appreciate that! Thanks.
Anything worth doing is worth doing in an organized manner. This has given me the motivation to clean up my coax, cables, and wires. Thanks for another high quality video.
Hey Chip! Diamond :)
Way out here in Arizona, we love your videos, learned so many tricks and hints. Love the Kenwood too, but way over what we can pay for. Keep up what you are doing, making us much better HAMs. I'm using an MFJ-4602 to pass into our home. N7DKE and 73.
Dan, all copied friend.. Thanks for the nice words.
Excellent job done, Lord Callum. 💯👍🙋♂
Thank you! Cheers!
You certainly do it well, setting a GOOD example for the rest of us? You are gradually rebuilding your channel and maybe even better than ever. Have the 12 meter better kits become available yet?
I have a full plate right now, looking at ""Open Heart" surgery to replace 2 defective valves, a hernia surgery, 2 eye surgeries to remove cataracts plus having to move out of my home so it can be torn down and a new one built. Very stressful time for this old man doing it alone, I mention this because you need to know, your shows help fill one's mind with something other than problems that one may be facing. Your humor, bits of knowledge, and just the distractions of the various tasks you overcome. Keep them coming, they matter!!
Thank you !!!
Oh heck. What a job you are gong through.. So the 12.4m kit is SOON!
I only just discovered your channel from Hayden VK7HH , he talked about your old channel been shut down, he linked to your new channel, and I must say I'm glad I did, love your sense of humour, so you got my sub!
Thanks for that! Welcome!
Been doing this for years Cal… As I only
have 2-3 cables, I use a plastic drain pipe through the wall with a 45 degree elbow outside… then stuff it with fibreglass insulation to keep the “visitors” at bay.
Great vid as usual!! Stay safe my friend.
Great tip!
You could use a little silicone grease and a plastic faced mallet to gently tap those grommets into your box. For Coax you would have to use a split grommet around the cable after the connector instead of a solid one. I love the sped up action too.
Your second RUclips videos are great. My be some day your other channel will come back. 100 thousand is gone but not forgotten. I love my DX COMMANDER.
Wow, thank you! I do honestly believe this is going to be better!
this is great ! Thanks for sharing. I'm terrified of drilling through my wall though 😞
Yeah, I've done a few..!
Nice entry for the cables etc. Clean and all in order. Well done Cal. 73 Reed/AB8AS😎
Thanks 👍
Nice install Callum!
Barco or Bacho?
73 de Magnus
HAHAHA!
Always better when you tidy it up. What type of screw-on coax connectors are those ?
Most of the time SSB Electronics or Messi and Paoloni
Nice job. Where did you get that cabinet?
Erm. It was from RS Components.. Can't remember model.
Thank you, Cal. N0QFT
Could I get the style connector you used on the coax, new to hobby want to make sure I have water tight connection. Thx
Look for EITHER Messi and Paoloni coax (and matching connectors) of SSB Eectronics (Aircell and Ecoflex 10 or 15 coax) - their connectors almost the same.
@@DXCommanderHQ thank you sir,
👍👍
What coax connectors are those?
There are two similar manufacturers.. Messi and Paoloni and SSB Electronics, both make a similar style.
That box all tidy pleases my ocd lol
And mine. Loving it.. I already need to drill more holes though!
@@DXCommanderHQ yeah there's a satisfaction with it and drilling lol that's the builder in me
2 pairs of glasses 🤓 lol
I know!
Use the head of a taxidermized dog on the outside for your weather proofing. Make the neighbors know regret.
Good tip!
