So awesome! I’m glad people in our generation are still interested in HAM-a dying art! This may just inspire me to finally hook my antenna up at my new place! Thanks for sharing!
The discone antenna, you installed, also happens to be one of THE BEST recieving antennas, for scanner enthuists,,, its wideband receiving capabilities are so good,,,its been utilized by our military, for a long time,,,you ,living in the Bronx,,,would have a blast listening to scanner freqs, in your area, with that setup,,,,cool vid,,,,73s,,,,,Paul NV1H,,,,,😎
Well done Becky! Did the same in my Philly apartment years ago. Now... UPGRADE AND GET ON HF.
This is awesome seeing a new generation of young people getting into ham radio. I got licensed in 2008 when I was 14. Got out of it for about 5 years in 2017. (Worked on radios for a living. Last thing I wanted to hear when I got home!) A lesson my elmer taught me when I first got my license is when you buy equipment radio, antennas, coax, etc. It will pay dividends in the long run to cry once and get the good stuff. I started off with a J-Pole Antenna for 2M and a Yaesu VX-170 2M Portable. I used RG8X for my connections. When I was finally looking into a mobile/base unit I went with the ICOM IC-2200H and upgraded to LMR 400 Coax and a Diamond X30. WOW what a difference! I currently live in an apartment now and rebuilding my shack and the chimney is going to be my only solution which is why I stumbled upon this video! Save up and get you a good mobile/base radio with a 12V Power Supply and maybe one day get you some LMR 400. You will not be disappointed!
It's really neat to see you expanding your network so literally!
Becky, I've been following you for a looong time, since MAKE and CRAFT and have always admired your energy and curiosity. Really great to see you keep exploring and making!
I use the old TV boom and elements and make a 3 element yagi antenna with a home brew gamma match. Back in the day, I made them for new hams as an entry gift. I still have the schematics
Thanks for sharing, Becky! I enjoy seeing different ways everyone has for getting comms up. I just got my license in July so I’m running a homemade vertical dipole and an ht. Anyway, subscribed. Time to check out more of your videos!
You can sing "urban rooftop HAM antenna" to the tune of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" :-)
My 2 meter radios have sat silent for a BUNCH of years, though I keep my Technician license up to date, Now that we're back home (long story) I'm going to set up one of my radios out in my shop. Videos like this get me hyped up to get back into ham radio. I'm voice only, of course, but now that I'm retired I might upgrade to General. Thanks for a great how-to video.
I just got an external FM antenna and cut down the dipole on it, and removed all the directors and reflectors. Attached to a pole and used an existing satellite antenna mounting bracket to hold it. Works well for the local repeater 30km away.
First thanks for putting together the video; you are clearly off to a good start.
Nice work Becky.
Great video!! Thanks for posting this 😊😊
Awsome, suprised no neighbors got weird about it. Great spot for antenna.
I love the 'milk crate' shelves. Had the same thing in my first apartment starting out. 73s
Nice job. Discone antennas are great. Have fun.
Congrats on the new antenna! Looking good.
Neat project! I’m remember hearing a few great stories about HAM connections from pre-internet days. Didn’t know people still did much of it.
Congratulations on your License. I enjoy seeing Arduino and Pi Tech alongside Amateur Radio. Subbed.
