This is by far the best mean comments video. The “I got him ma” part was definitely the highlight 😂
Lol, thanks. That just came to me. I channeled my inner red neck and he didn't disappoint.
Yep, that nailed it! 🤣
yeah I was literally crying from laughter at that one LOL :)
We need to have a Post your POTA to the DX Cluster weekend. Hell, it could even be an official POTA award!
Haha great idea!!
@@hamradiotube We need to have a "light up the WARC bands weekend" for activators.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Some crazy old hams even get mad at you if you try to entertain yourself on the airwaves.
You should do more of these videos. This one was hilarious.
Nobody roasts a sad ham to perfection, like you. Great work!
Thank you 😋
Funniest "Mean Comments" video yet Mike! Please keep them, as well as your other great videos coming! Thanks and 73.
THANKYOU so much for all your input into our lovely hobby. I have learnt a lot from various different HAM RUclips channels. HAM radio is fun.
Well now I'm confused....being a "DX station" and a POTA op, am I supposed to spot on POTA, the cluster, both, neither? Maybe I'll just post it on my refrigerator on a sticky note. I put the "DX station" in quotes because everyone is DX to someone. Many ops around the world are chasing ARRL/POTA WAS so a op in TX would be DX to someone in VK.
I’m in TX…. Just the thought of me being dx to someone gives me a woody! 😊
The complainer's comment was unbelievably US-centric. I'm a proud American, but wow, just amazing lack of awareness.
This was by far the funniest one yet. I am new to this hobby and still feeling my way around. I have learned a lot from you and the other ham radio RUclips channels. Keep the good stuff coming. Peace love and granola and all that.
APRS :i just remember a bunch of old guys who couldn't understand anything trying to get me interested in it.
I’ve personally seen young people ran off by mean old hams
Oh absolutely. Sadly I hear that all too much.
Some of them may be living in their mom's attic, since she keeps a washer and dryer in the basement and doesn't want his/her grubby fingers on it.
Hey, phantasia: cluck off, sad ham
We have SAD Hams here too...
Mr. Know-it-all is here too
.
He can't help but jump in and tell you what your doing Wrong...
I loved this video!!! You keep a great attitude and laugh the whole time. Which just makes the sad hams even sadder hams.
That's the goal!
You should have a sad ham of the week award on your mailbag Monday.
This video is just too much fun, thank you for sharing. Suggestion, when you read their comments also call them out on their misspelling, grammar, and punctuation as well. That surely will fire them up. It is because of those types of folks, many remain with GMRS which provides about 90% of the HAM experience and one license covers their entire family.
Auto bots,lets roll
All these apps... youtube, facebook, etc have a scroll feature. Some people should use it and just keep scrolling rather than leaving mean comments.
I've had DX operators chase my POTA.
I have been spotted on the DX Cluster myself 770 times while POTA activating by people thousands of miles away. Never asked to be spotted once. Maybe I will start asking to be spotted now for the benefit of W8SADHAM
That’s doing it properly Stuart. I’m not convinced self spotting (for any reason or purpose) is the done thing.
I've been licensed since 1974. IMHO, the "sad hams" didn't really make it to the map until about 1980. The "DX Cluster Cops" should just be ignored, maybe they'll find a life somewhere.
I didn’t even know what the DX Cluster was the first time I watched this and I still laughed at that guy.
😂😂 Mike, I don’t know how you do it. These guys are something else. And no… I would never have my own RUclips channel because I couldn’t deal with these guys so eloquently. Cheers 73!
this should be a RUclips "sticky" somehow. You can't buy entertainment this good! - AI5QA
This may be the funniest video I've ever seen you make.
I think POTA hunting is a great was for the new Hams to break in and get over mic shyness also it gives them a frequency to go to. It might even help them with the NATO language. Your videos help me that’s why I subscribe and do Patreon. Thanks! This videos reminds me of the saying…..that a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Very good point indeed. I know when I was first starting out in radio me and another new ham would talk on the repeaters and practice our NATO phonetics whenever we needed to ID or spell something. Good times. Thanks so much for the support and thanks for being here.
It's true, you can't offer the slightest bit of criticism or give advice because they'll break like a teacup at the slightest effort. You have to avoid "triggering" them.
I am a SWL with a Ham license. Made three qsos on 2, meters, that was enough for a lifetime.
Would love to give you a great snarky sad ham comment for the next vid, but I'm just not sad enough. Great vid.
This is an important video, seriously. Social media seems to bring the worst out of people. That's why I ditched it. Except RUclips. It seems that older hams get grumpy because of their poor health. Lack of exercise is a big part of it, it seems. I'm almost 63 and like to think of myself as still learning, experimenting, and hopefully encouraging others. When I catch myself thinking or feeling otherwise, I try to shake it off and remind myself that even though I've been a ham for 45 years, I don't know it all. We learn by doing. Sad put-downs and negativity won't help anyone.
I think it is funny when people pick on one mode or another, I think that is what makes ham radio so great, there is something for everybody, the more the better.
As a fairly new RUclipsr. This video was a inspiration to hang in there. Thanks! De KF7SEY
Loved this! The world is on fire and these sad hams may be part of the problem…definitely not the solution. Made my Saturday evening while watching football even more enjoyable. Keep up the good work.

Mike, still wrapping my head around transmit power affecting receiver sensitivity.
I don't know which I love more, listening to these crazy comments or just watching you get so tickled about them 😂Keep em coming, always good fun hearing these.
Glad you like them!
I used to like the smell of solder especially in the Fall.
The comment on the 1000W POTA…. I suspect he meant that your transmit range is much farther than most people, so that some folks can hear you from…umm… Jupiter, but when they reply you won’t be able to hear them because they are too far away and weak. To be clear, I’m not joining his grump. 1000W POTA sounds like hilarious fun to me.
If they're 96 and live in their moms basement........ can you imagine how old his mom is?? Or the smell of the house??????
Got it. Spot POTAs to the DX cluster.
Mike, as a Ham, I have to agree with you. And some people take Sad Ham to a whole new level (that FB post for one - on receive, yeah). I think we may need to have a new term for the Sad Hams who have reached Extra in Sad Ham world. I think they should be called Hamorrhoids. Just saying. :)
I know one person who is still mad that 11 meter was 'stolen' from the Ham bands in the 1950s LOL
No matter what you are doing there will always be some sad individual who will try to discourage you to make himself feel important. It is a good time to use the raised index finger to acknowledge how much you don't care
I'm trying so hard to think of a super annoying comment so that I can have it called out in a future video.... Anyway, love the channel, I hope these sad ham comments don't get under your skin. No matter what you do, there will always be people that crap all over it. Even God himself is constantly ridiculed by people who think they know better, so you know, there's that. Keep up the good work!
4:20 So if I do POTA using strictly FT8...
oh, man...I'm *definitely* going to hell.
came to the comment section to see if the "I got him ma" part was in here...was not disappointed. 🤣 It felt genuine, which makes it that much funnier! lol
I nearly laughed at the one about interference being caused by your equipment malfunctioning. Ha! Let me tell you about the time I was turning my mom's touch lamp on and off during a CW QSO. Must have been my equipment. Not that the touch lamp module was sensitive to RFI or anything like that.
these are hilarious. And this is also one of the many reasons I don't do videos online LOL :)
I love your "Old Kermudgen Southern Accent" it cracks me up every time.
I am relatively new to amatuer radio Oct 21 and also a little older 67 i was put off doing it years ago by a club i went to and did not fill welcome and also not much of a DIY person ,fast forward 20years later actually joined the same club it had moved elsewhere the first day i walked in was offered a radio to listen too and have actually built a antenna (very easy though ) and learning more this club changed, maybe sad hams can ? and also can you speak Australian instead of American LOL (only joking ) but i have learned a lot from watching video's since i started from a lot of different people love your videos, some videos from different people may be out of my grasp with the different subjects but still enjoy watching.
Hi Mike, this video is a candid revelation of those 'Sad Hams' active in the various social media platforms. Such situation is not very different in the country where I live. I'm contemplating writing a piece in my blog and also share a link of your this video. Once I'm through I shall share the link of my blog post with you in this YT comment section.
Thank you!

Older video but I just watched it. Gotta love QRM, it is kinda like shopping THAT big box store just to see the variety of people you will encounter. 73, KF0NNQ.
Hmmm...People of Walmart...People that QRM...Coincidence???
some of my best ideas come from the toilet, some of my ideas just stay there, waiting to go down.
I'm a SAD HAM, I paid $3000 for my new rig. Went home and promptly hooked it up backwards to the power supply. Did not even read the manuel yet and there is smoke spewing out my radio. I think Ham Radio should be banned. Just a big waste of money. Ban it ALL! LMAO.
APRS is fun, but why would I bet my life on it when something like the Garmin InReach exists.
"I got him ma!" Great video!
TIL that there is HF APRS. But it is outside of the amateur band according to the chart. (He wrote 10.151, band ends at 10.150).
Mikes certainly picked up a Southern accent since moving to Texas...🤪🤪😁Keep em comin' Mike
Just priceless and a great video to watch in the morning with my coffee. Thanks Mike for taking the high road, and entertaining us. More please!
best SAD Ham video yet ! keep making them. I am looking for a park to park and DX . I have been doing portable in a park many years before POTA was a thing. 73's
Isn’t it great that these sad hams provide you with material you can monitize while bringing us entertainment? The 7300 guy for the win! Rock on!!
Yep Brother ! I experience this always when I am operating Pota they don’t like us why I don’t know they think they own the frequencies my goodness the comments you are receiving are true I thank you for putting this out 73 ‘
I love your analogies on those people that love to be part of the problem instead of being part of the solution LMAO keep up the calling out of those that love to complain. ive been licensed since 2005 and in and out for many years and im always learning new stuff especially since a lot of the new to me digital modes came out to me at least. keep putting these videos out!!!!! Jeff KD8CIA
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept that the little guy with 100 watts or less (me, for instance) won't be heard by guys running 1,000 watts. I mean, not only did he post it for the world to see, but he worded it with such conviction!
Thanks for the laughs Mike! Love the channel!
A gift from the comedy gods. You’re lucky they send you this material.
It's internet gold isn't it?
If you're anti negative you cannot be positive.
I'm new to your channel, but you accent impressions cracked me up. You should do this more often. :))
First time I saw a k8mrd video and almost pissed myself laughing
Nice I made the cut! Dude, was that a dig on Frank living at home with his mom?
3:25 should have told this old guy not to get his colostomy bag in a twist.
The banana has mysteriously disappeared... Now, I too am a sad ham.
Hope all faired well in the Houston area after the storm last week. My tall tree fell with my ecomm 3 efhw and lost part of my 73ft antenna but now with no tree for my antenna what do you recommend I replace it with. I’m in a neighborhood and don’t care to advertise I have an antenna. I know just plant another tree it may take to long to grow. But what about just running it along the fence? I’m just a year into this with my general run ft 710. Was in an inverted v in the backyard.
"Chances are something in your pocket was made in China" - Definitely if you were born in China!
I LOVE to work DX POTA stations....
Ass Hats the lot of 'em, keep callin' em out Mike ! I fully agree on APRS, there are much better options. This content is the best !
You have no idea how much I laugh with this video, Mike you are the best...😂
Mike love these videos ! Keep them coming ! Just goes to show you that unfortunately sad hams do exist.
My first (and only so far) POTA was from Grand Canyon NP. A VK thanked me for the new park.
VK is DX...RIGHT?!?!?
I got my tech (limited in nz) licence in 1994. I didn't get my full as life was busy...
I love hoby and became president if my local club. The number of people that I would literally have to pull old hams asside and warn them that their comments were not constructive to get more people into the hobby! Need to be able to build a radio from scratch, cw at 25 words etc. This thing is when I taught myself cw I could send around 20... I did this on 03 or 04. I haven't really used it since... I like the idea of using satellites and under the right conditions yes a rubber duck will work. It is f'ing laughable.
I love antennas, that is my thing. I have a thing about will it radiate. I own only 4 different antenna tuners... and will try just about anything if desperate.
If I could go full legal limit in a park I would but recently I have been laid low by illness😢... love your videos.
Sad Hams unfortunately exist.
This is better than good TV.! People just love hatein' on you. I watch you and the other guys often and enjoy it all.. Watching this episode of "sad hams" was hilarious!! I'm not even a ham...... yet :0)
Thanks Mike, I look forward to the reading of the “Sad Hams”😢
That was me that said good answer lol. And I thought it was awesome that you all ran 1k and a hex. That I am sure was a challenge on its own.
Lol, it was a good answer.
Y’all! I laughed so hard watching this! Dude is really funny! 😂
While this is hilarious, the only negative I’ll suggest is that it might be possible to assign a “tone” to text or e-Mail that wasn’t intended.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting your assigned tone is “wrong” 😅😅😅
Het Mike, You are so hilarious and so much fun to watch on Monday Have been around for a long time but you made radio fun for me again, Thanks Mike VE1 MCD Thanks Again....
Hi Mike, great video, I agree with what you said, a lot of the older (like me, age that is) hams re the newer modes etc, they moan like there is no tomorrow and we are light on new hams yet do nothing about it apart from moaning, here in ZL there are so many of these also! Hence why I don't get involved in clubs these days as I did enjoy being involved many years ago, sadly it was the same back then though. Nothing much changes. I have a friend who is a digital mode hater and I admit I wasn't that interested in it many years ago.... BUT it has it's place for me, as it allows me to get on air from my home so thats a good thing. People need to lighten up! Great vid as always..
This is amazing 😂😂😂😂😂. I swear I have like a day once a month at best to work HF and these guys try to rain on folks parades. Sad Hams no doubt. We’re all just trying to have fun right?!?!?!
Great vid, the impersonations had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What did you expect from a dink with ear rings and NO-CODE Extra! him and notarubicon spend alot of time in a tent together.
That honestly, is a sad ham remark coming from a sad ham, who just watched a video about sad hams...... !!!
Your doing good Mike, thanks again.
Some of the comments are not that nasty. I bet they are trying to guide you into what they think are the best way.
Cleaning lacquer of elamel wire is a sound practice. I have seen many faults in well known brands where band filters stop working because the lacquer is not removed and the solder just flows around it, and the tiny contact left will corrode as time passes. And even if you burn off the lacquer by soldering, it will merge with the solder and make it less reliable.
UNTILL YOU REACH 7.200!!!
Agree with you!!! Me? I like analog AM SSB and FM modes by far!!! The challenge, folks!!! It's the challenge I like, folks!!! 73 all!!!
Love this feedback... God what planet to some of these people come from. Or I think the Villages have let some crazies out. Sorry Villages but I can move down there but I am almost 76 and still building like Double Bazookas and the latest one is 1.2.:1 and I just finished it. Plus I love to run power because I can. If you don't like it tough feces. Great content...
Im looking to start a ham radio oriented youtube channel and cant wait to start getting comments from the sad hams
OK, we need a "Don't be a SAD HAM" tee shirt. Please and Thank You.
Good Halloween morning laughs, thank you Mike :o) 73 Mark K5MGK
Glad you enjoyed it
So my friend who got me into Ham Radio has the same "sad ham" voice imitation that you have so that was extremely amusing to listen to.
Do you have a license? WTF does he think K8MRD is? Your gang handle?
You need to record a certain 160m net to see how old people control the airwaves I bet you get lots of attention ☺️maybe sum OO attention and maybe their license renewal will get held up 😉oh boy exciting times are had though all mediums ☺️to funny Mike 😊yup spin that wheel(VFO) to greener pastures(more welcoming frequencies, where you all get time to key up instead of listening to the same stories of one sad hams past ☺️shots fired😮😊
