Easter egg hunts are a spin off of a pagan religion fertility rite and have very little to do with Christianity (the only religion founded on an event, not laws) other than the time of year it was celebrated. It's not the only example of blurred lines between religious holidays.
Thanks @k8mrd I've just found my new ring tone....."always look on the bright side of life". That is the key. Miserable people want company so they try to make others like them. As they say though you aren't doing it right if you don't have haters.
LOL I may be addicted to Mailbag Mondays! This was a fun one, thank you. Love your stuff man and looking forward to catching you on the radio one of these days when I'm out near you.
Guns got me into ham radio as well, Mike! During the pandemic was watching a gun channel on prepping who had a ham on and when I heard the words "no code test required" I had my extra in 10 weeks, lol! Keep up the good work! 73!
I’m actually encouraged that you’re struggling with Jesus. Many, many people have been through this as well over the centuries. The fact it greatly bothers you is a sign He is trying to get your attention. I will not give you the stereotypical “fire and eternal damnation ” sermon-it’s not that helpful. As a 63 year old lifelong Christian, I ask you to seek the Truth. Nothing more. I’ll be praying for you too. It’s like an irritating grain of sand in the oyster that becomes a pearl. Peace and love. Thanks for the videos. Hope to work you again on the air.
I’m not gonna lie Joe, raw oysters are my absolute favorite food in the world. I can feel the sincerity in your words and the kindness and empathy. Thank you for that. I really mean it. It doesn’t bother me though. I’m very much at peace with my beliefs. But you are a good example of a good human being. Usually when someone says they will pray for me I respond with a “no thank you”. But for you, I will let it pass. Peace be with you my friend.
As for the guns. I spent 25 years in the military and know what a weapon will do. It is your channel you can do what you want. If you do something that I don’t like I’ll just let it go or view something else. I don’t care to get in a pissing contest. Sometimes I need to listen to an opposing point.
Dear Sensei. I am one of those folks who has been trying to contact NA1SS with my UV-5R, with an upgrade antenna. I pick up the transmissions FROM the ISS, but, until now no answer. My YAGI is coming soon…. Perhaps silly, but, I am learning - only have had my Technician license for 1 month is so. Keep it up! Do not let the sad/mad HAMS get you down!
Dig the Monty Python reference, Mikey. My new year's resolution is to come up with a troll of one of your vids to get a feature on a future episode "Mike Gets Mad"
Nah you can't do that man. Don't dilute the hate from all the keyboard commandoes just to get noticed. It's gotta be real. I appreciate the sentiment, I do, but no. You're better than that. It's gotta be organic.
@@hamradiotube I was just joking, Mikey! You da Man! Although I remember JJ saying you don't like nets and I was going to say that weekly nets are the foundation of American national security! If we didn't have nets, we'd all be speaking Russian in no time!! APRS Nets for the win!
I love it all! Do people not realize that when they watch videos, take advice or anything.. take what ya like and leave the rest. I enjoy your videos and I've learned a lot! I'm jealous of the ICOM short!!!
I respect your view on organized religion, but can't agree on your view of Christ. I understand it's a personal thing. I am a follower of Christ not really a "church" guy. It is a spiritual thing understood only to the spiritually awaked heart. Man's reason is clouded by the limitations of our human minds. Love to talk to you about it someday but this doesn't have anything to do with Amateur radio and I don't hold it against you for having a different view. Still your buddy NB5Z
You know, I have about 60+ youtubers that I try to keep up on. But, I think I end up migrating towards you and your channel most often. I do LOVE Jesus! But, I do also appreciate your written reply somewhere in here (response to the effeminate comment), that you told someone else that you don't have any problem with how others worship. I understand that most folks don't believe in other people's religion, or we wouldn't have so many religions on this planet. Obviously in humor that old saying survives: "I don't discriminate against any one group of individuals -- I treat them ALL badly." Thanks for screwing with everyone on this one. A good joke can go a long ways. Keep the laughs coming. Your skills and sharing are quite helpful. Thanks.
@@hamradiotubeGlenn Fricker is a RUclipsr and sound engineer. Every week he does an episode on his channel called viewers comments and he has a segment called “the butthurt of the week”. Which is what the guy is referring to. It’s pretty hilarious at some of the comments he gets on there and this was pretty much just like that but even more entertaining.
@@hamradiotube Yup. Spectre Sound Studios I believe is the name. His channel is pretty sweet. I leaned a lot about audio engineering from his stuff. Both what worked for me and what did not. Haha.
Aaaarrrghhh! I hate it when my favorite RUclipsrs whine about RUclips! You don’t have to answer to these people. Just keep putting out your usual great content and ignore the trolls. If you’re going to put your stuff out there for the public, you need to have thick skin. I’ll stop grinding my teeth now.
@kellydiver He has thick skin! What are you talking about? He did a comedy video, in a sense, to make fun of the lame-azzes who try to take up time and space with their crazy, nonsense trolls. It was humor, meant to be funny. Laugh at it, or scroll right on by! 😂😢 😅😂
Who the F is whining? Those noises you hear me making in this video is laughter. I have very thick skin. That's why I make fun of these people publicly. They are cowards. Keyboard commandos who don't have the balls to say anything to my face. I've been to every major ham fest multiple times and no one has came up to me and said any of these things to my face. It's a content gold mine. I'd be a fool to not do these kinds of videos. Plus, there's only like you and 2 other people who don't like them.
It's funny how upset people get over personal opinions. The wonderful thing is that amateur radio offers plenty of things to do. It's ok if someone like K8MRD has a different opinion than you.
@@RJ_McKenzieyou might be onto something. I doubt any of these blue cities would survive as a state. They would run out of money if they didn't have all of the red areas around them to tax.
I love it man absolutely love it you entertain the heck out of me. I'm impressed with your knowledge of RADIO as well. I would love for you to explain and solve a question that every truck driver in this country has wondered is two antennas better than one ...now of course were talking 27 MHz CB band. But it's applicable exactly straight across for the 10 m band. I say BS !!..one antenna is the best Two antennas, just complicate it
That is a great question. I've grabbed a shot of this for my Mailbag Monday videos. My guess would be, in ham and CB, no. Let's see what the community posts. My wireless system for my guitar does have 2 antennas for diversity RX though. The internal circuitry will pick out the stronger signal so there isn't any dropouts. It's designed that way though, and it's not cheap. ~$1000. Shure QLX-D if you care to research it. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/QLXDBP-H50--shure-qlxd14-wireless-guitar-system-h50-band I wonder if that would really work for RX and TX...
@@hamradiotube appreciate the response Mike ...holy cow you're a celebrity in my book. Thanks for the information. I will definitely search it out. As always, I look forward to your mail bag Mondays and whenever you post a new one love watching them. I'm a fan of Jason and Josh and all your buddies and of course notarubicon randy. Believe it or not couple of months ago. I'm driving down the road going to California in my semi truck. (I always monitor GMRS 19.) I hear this guy come across a holler back at him we start talking and all of a sudden it dawned on me. He sounded just like Randy I said is this you Randy he says I cannot confirm or deny it. Dang i was talking to Randy for a while. Sad to say, he's my first and only channel 19 contact ...I wish more truck drivers would turn to GMRS. Anyways, like I said, I enjoy the heck out of your videos 73 W7GUM
I still think you're WRONG about APRS! It is the MOST IMPORTANT mode of H.A.M. Radio in EMCOMMS! I tried to sent you a very lengthy message, mostly in ALL CAPS via APRS, but unfortunately there isn't an igate within 500 miles of me.... 😂 On the serious side, please keep the mean comments series coming! Absolutely love these.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Brilliant... I got cats named lucifer, hades, medusa and others lol... Satan is an awesome name for a Black Cat. Easter Eggs, Bunny Rabits, Crazy much indeed...
I live in the Shit-Hole, known as Little Republic of Wannabe California (Illinois). Some of us down staters, are 2A lovers! Anyway, I have to say the same thing, Once I got into Ham radio, I ended up getting into firearms... alot! Seems they kinda go together, as most in this area are the same.. :)
Oh, I’m late to this party! Good Lord this video is solid gold!😂 Ham radio & guns. What more can you ask for? Even simple to understand comments get the same replies and yet I still keep commenting on videos. 🤷♂️ Edit: to fix what the drunk elf in my phone (aka “autocorrect”) put in this comment.
APRS is not for everyone. Just because it works well for one person doesn't mean it fits well in someone elses needs. I wonder if most people remember that sometimes. Hahaha! Oh well. Keep doing what you do.
FYI...My solder rosin smells like pine. Every solder I ever used in my 40+ year EE career smelled like pine. Some people think lead fumes happen, but we never had vents, and neither did our factory rework stations.
Ha ha 🤣🤣🤣! I have been using piney rosin core leaded solder since the early 70's. The only other fluxes were liquid for SMT rework of lead-free assemblies, and that was not piney, but also not penis like.
Another great vid! Actually, I tried APRS on my 878 after watching your much berated video about it. Gotta say, I don't see the fascination in it. But that's okay! It's a hobby. Do what turns your crank, but don't bash others just because they aren't exactly like you. I'll stick to my beloved FT8 and POTA - thank you. 73 and remember your haters will always make you famous! Keep up the good work Oscar Mike!
The 878 doesn't have a functional APRS feature. It is LITERALLY dysfunctional and non-functional in many ways. Welcome to Chinese implementation of APRS. More like the lack of APRS.
Love thr tactical assault black cat in the background. Thanks for all the content, your videos helped me get into Ham radio. 73, from a Pacific NW Liberal gun owner and ham radio operator.
What scares me is that big bad black rifle behind you and that black pistol you showed! HAHAHAHAHA. No, I am not from the worst state of Illinois, cross the Mississippi River to west, it is a state called Missouri and us'in rednecks have these things. Great video, APRS I use just for enjoyment seeing who is around where live. Keep up the GREAT work!!! You are too Funny.
I love the guys that are like the second comment. If you think the fcc should say everyone do what you want you are not very well versed on radio history. The us navy used to just trample all over any amateur transmissions and eventually the military tried very hard to block hams in general until they found out how useful they were during Vietnam
As I was pondering the need to abolish the ATF, I wondered what it would look like if the FCC was abolished. It would be chaos. I absolutely see a need to have the fcc around.
I just want a radio that only does QRO FT-8, that is actually an AR-15 with a tactical rail mounted MAGA hat dispenser and solder smoke generator that only activates in confined, poorly ventilated spaces.
Awesome Mike... These are great. You sure have picked up a great southern accent since moving to Texas, lol. 🤣😁keep those keyboard warrior cry babies coming.
Since when, can’t you send messages over APRS any longer? I didn’t know that. APRS is like anything else in ham radio, it suits its purpose and is just like any other tool in the tool box for operators to use, FT8 for example. Is it a life or death mode? Most certainly not. I ran APRS for many years when I drove over the road. I quit using it when it no longer was of use to me. I got tired of people not setting it up correctly according to the protocol like which SSID to use for a specific station type and running “tone alert” on local digipeaters. What APRS has turned into isn’t how Bob WB4APR envisioned it to be. Most people who use it now a days use it as a tracker, which is not what its main intention is. As far as religion I’m with you Mike. Let’s just start with what most consider to be the beginning, Adam & Eve. Supposedly they were the 1st 2 people on earth. They had children to help procreate. But beyond that, it means they had to have incest to keep procreating, & that’s just gross. Just this concept here makes the religious aspects of creation laughable at best.
It was fairly recently. I don’t know all the details nor do I really care but it had to do with people abusing the texting feature. Now for the good stuff, you gotta check this video out : ruclips.net/video/nkGiFpJC9LM/видео.html if the Bible were true, these people would be direct descendants of Adam and Eve, and we’d all be like that.
LOL! i'm not that impressed by ft 8 / ft 4 as they seem so impersonal to me, but i know a ham who loves ft 8 and has no choice at home due to appalling noise. aprs seems to be a way of just getting straight back into the interweb (cell phones and web are usually connected at some point), but if it floats your boat, enjoy. i have no interest in microwave, but some love that experimental side of radio. i know that hf has limits, but i accept them, and enjoy what i have. some people are too uptight about their most, and least favourite parts of ham radio.
Seriously Mike, you need to change your brand of cologne; you're attracting too many of the wrong kind of flies. If you really want to butthurt these clowns, do a video matching up APRS with smoke signals. The fact that smoke signals are superior will come out instantly - you can still send text messages with it! Also,, I've never tried a POTA while using VHF, that should be quite interesting.... can you imagine the amount of grief you'll get if you call CQ-POTA on a repeater? Nice job on the CGI in the ending sequence - whatever the hell that was. Rock on!!!
Jesus was presumably crucified on a Friday ("Good Friday") and was already missing the morning of "the third day," presumably a Sunday (Easter). Either we've compressed the events to make it a convenient weekend or we're being presented with a trick math problem. If he died later on a Friday and was already gone Sunday morning, isn't that about 36-40 hours? That's not three days! I feel cheated! 😉
I applaud you for everything you do. The gentleman that you called antenna boy in Florida at the hamfest is a friend of mine. His name is William his call letters ate w3uwu... Keep up the good work..Enjoy all your videos.. Charles (k4skt)
Antenna boy is an endearing term, not to be taken to heart, but more as we're busting your balls. I certainly would never take offense to someone calling me "antenna boy". But then again, no one should dare call me "antenna boy" lol!
APRS makes me feel safe. Use it 24/7.
Ammo Pistol Rifle Shotgun.
Guns got me into Ham Radio too.
Now that is some APRS I can support!!

Ha ha 🤣🤣🤣! I have been using piney rosin core leaded solder since the early 70's. The only other fluxes were liquid for SMT rework of lead-free assemblies, and that was not piney, but also not penis like.
@@LeeMcc_KI5YPR Lol glad everyone can razz eachother in good fun.

Another great vid! Actually, I tried APRS on my 878 after watching your much berated video about it. Gotta say, I don't see the fascination in it. But that's okay! It's a hobby. Do what turns your crank, but don't bash others just because they aren't exactly like you. I'll stick to my beloved FT8 and POTA - thank you. 73 and remember your haters will always make you famous! Keep up the good work Oscar Mike!
The 878 doesn't have a functional APRS feature. It is LITERALLY dysfunctional and non-functional in many ways. Welcome to Chinese implementation of APRS. More like the lack of APRS.
The life of Brian ending was awesome.
That's the way she goes!
You have to pay the government for the airwaves 😂
First religious comment I’ve seen from a guy with a hammer and sickle avatar.
You have the ultimate bachelor pad. Great video.
Hey now! Just need a few females and it’ll be complete lol!
My New Hero Love it!!!! Great stuff Mike , laughing my butt off, hehe love your videos 73 J
Love thr tactical assault black cat in the background.
Thanks for all the content, your videos helped me get into Ham radio.
73, from a Pacific NW Liberal gun owner and ham radio operator.
Yeah he's pretty awesome isn't he. Thanks so much for the kind words.
What scares me is that big bad black rifle behind you and that black pistol you showed! HAHAHAHAHA. No, I am not from the worst state of Illinois, cross the Mississippi River to west, it is a state called Missouri and us'in rednecks have these things. Great video, APRS I use just for enjoyment seeing who is around where live. Keep up the GREAT work!!! You are too Funny.
Man is this funny you had me in stitches. Keep it up thanks
hopefully the stitches didn't pop lol!
Thanks for the chuckle Mike. 73
You bet
I love the guys that are like the second comment. If you think the fcc should say everyone do what you want you are not very well versed on radio history. The us navy used to just trample all over any amateur transmissions and eventually the military tried very hard to block hams in general until they found out how useful they were during Vietnam
As I was pondering the need to abolish the ATF, I wondered what it would look like if the FCC was abolished. It would be chaos. I absolutely see a need to have the fcc around.
My god, have you watched the chairman of the ATF "not" answer questions? I think it was on Forbes RUclips channel. Holy crap that guy is an idiot!!
Why would you want to abolish Automatic Transmission Fluid?
You're correct. Some parts were offensive. Truth in advertising.
Ahh good. I've accomplished my mission! Thanks for always being there!
Praise Geebus
God given EM spectrum guy never heard of the Tragedy of the Commons
What's that?
That’s known as a pea shooter here in Texas, Hombre.
I just want a radio that only does QRO FT-8, that is actually an AR-15 with a tactical rail mounted MAGA hat dispenser and solder smoke generator that only activates in confined, poorly ventilated spaces.
Oh man now I want one too!
The Life of Brian skit at the end.. Perfect! Muahahahahahahahaaha.
Ah thank you very much
I've got just one thing to say about that: Greatus Catus.
Thanks bruh, I had a rough monday.
Glad I could help
That APRS video you did was your Opus Magnum. In 50 years, they'll still be making videos trying to defend the usefulness (poorly) of APRS.
Don't worry, soon there's going to be a KF8IV & K8MRD APRS POTA activation with POTAritas!!
Lol
You need to start your videos with
“Don’t get mad I’m being real”
Lol
Keep up the good work
I'd rather start them by just making people mad though. Waaaayyyy more fun. 73
Lol. Great stuff. Glad you have a sense of humor.
Awesome Mike... These are great. You sure have picked up a great southern accent since moving to Texas, lol. 🤣😁keep those keyboard warrior cry babies coming.
Satan wins the photobomb! 😂
He sure does.
Since when, can’t you send messages over APRS any longer? I didn’t know that. APRS is like anything else in ham radio, it suits its purpose and is just like any other tool in the tool box for operators to use, FT8 for example. Is it a life or death mode? Most certainly not. I ran APRS for many years when I drove over the road. I quit using it when it no longer was of use to me. I got tired of people not setting it up correctly according to the protocol like which SSID to use for a specific station type and running “tone alert” on local digipeaters. What APRS has turned into isn’t how Bob WB4APR envisioned it to be. Most people who use it now a days use it as a tracker, which is not what its main intention is.
As far as religion I’m with you Mike. Let’s just start with what most consider to be the beginning, Adam & Eve. Supposedly they were the 1st 2 people on earth. They had children to help procreate. But beyond that, it means they had to have incest to keep procreating, & that’s just gross. Just this concept here makes the religious aspects of creation laughable at best.
It was fairly recently. I don’t know all the details nor do I really care but it had to do with people abusing the texting feature. Now for the good stuff, you gotta check this video out : ruclips.net/video/nkGiFpJC9LM/видео.html if the Bible were true, these people would be direct descendants of Adam and Eve, and we’d all be like that.
@@superpoint43 thanks as I was just curious.
@@hamradiotube all I can say is “OH MY!!!” Interesting indeed as I always thought it was a joke about WV inbreeding.
@@truckinguy92 Yeah. So that happened lol!
And you have a scary black cat😂
REPENT OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS! 🤣
I repent, I repent!!!
Good stuff Mike. I love how all the stupid comments have a southern accent what a bunch of dummies 😂
Haha thanks.
Accurate Precision Rifle Shooter! APRS
LOL! i'm not that impressed by ft 8 / ft 4 as they seem so impersonal to me, but i know a ham who loves ft 8 and has no choice at home due to appalling noise. aprs seems to be a way of just getting straight back into the interweb (cell phones and web are usually connected at some point), but if it floats your boat, enjoy. i have no interest in microwave, but some love that experimental side of radio. i know that hf has limits, but i accept them, and enjoy what i have. some people are too uptight about their most, and least favourite parts of ham radio.
Seriously Mike, you need to change your brand of cologne; you're attracting too many of the wrong kind of flies. If you really want to butthurt these clowns, do a video matching up APRS with smoke signals. The fact that smoke signals are superior will come out instantly - you can still send text messages with it! Also,, I've never tried a POTA while using VHF, that should be quite interesting.... can you imagine the amount of grief you'll get if you call CQ-POTA on a repeater? Nice job on the CGI in the ending sequence - whatever the hell that was. Rock on!!!
LMFAO! Thanks for the laugh today! Please change your video ending by using tannerite on a worthless APRS ht.
Jesus was presumably crucified on a Friday ("Good Friday") and was already missing the morning of "the third day," presumably a Sunday (Easter). Either we've compressed the events to make it a convenient weekend or we're being presented with a trick math problem. If he died later on a Friday and was already gone Sunday morning, isn't that about 36-40 hours? That's not three days! I feel cheated! 😉
Yeah, we're gonna need you to come in tomorrow. Yeah we're also going to need you to come in on Sunday as well. Mmkay? Thanks a bunch.
"Save me some Easter eggs, I'll be back on Sunday."
LOVE these videos! 🤣
I love that you love them. Thanks for watching.
😂😂😂 What a resounding finish, so well wound up right to the end.
I know I was a little out of tune to say the least, but boy wasn't that fun!?
@@hamradiotube oh yes, it was a laugh, helped my journey to work pass quickly
I don't even understand what happened at the end of this video but I like it.

I applaud you for everything you do. The gentleman that you called antenna boy in Florida at the hamfest is a friend of mine. His name is William his call letters ate w3uwu... Keep up the good work..Enjoy all your videos.. Charles (k4skt)
Antenna boy is an endearing term, not to be taken to heart, but more as we're busting your balls. I certainly would never take offense to someone calling me "antenna boy". But then again, no one should dare call me "antenna boy" lol!
Geez, Mike, where do find these guys?
I don't have to. They come to me lol!
I Love the Replies to The Troll Emails and Posts....you say what most of us feel....

That's how I roll man. 99.9% of the time I keep the channel very "G" rated. But every now and then these things need to happen. Glad to have you here.
