I am completely new to ham. I have not even received my licence study books, but they are on the way. It's been 3 months since this video (the most recent one in your queue), and I have been watching your informative videos with interest. Unlike some of the other 'ham for newbies,' you make an effort NOT to use jargon or phraseology or acronyms or abbreviations without identifying them. Thanks for that! One thing I would like to see--and perhaps it is in a video I have not yet seen--is why contacts with others are made. Other than the personal enjoyment of speaking to another human you would not usually talk to, is there some other reason, such as logging or competition? If so, what are they? For me, that would be a valuable lesson. It will be interesting to see what you do as winter arrives; I live in rural (VERY rural) South Dakota, and Winter is not far away. Tonight, the temperature will get to 20F and I am sure white stuff will fall in the not-too-distant future. Learning how hams operate in Winter will be valuable.
Great video! I had NO idea that some of the satellites were so small. Craziness. Have fun this weekend, I'll be participating in my first Field Day in Mid-Michigan. 73s
Brian, your videos got me into Ham Radio (I'm still studying for my Technician exam) -- please come back and make more videos if you are able. I really appreciate and love your videos. I watch and rewatch them because I feel like you explain all the intricate technical things about radio and connect it to all the cool parts of radio we all love. Thanks for everything -- here's hoping we hear from you soon.
Surprised to hear that you're counting a 6m digital contact with a Cuban station that's not a Field Day participant (4:43). If he doesn't give you a FD exchange, how could you know his transmitter class? Guess you're assuming he's a 1D, but that doesn't strike me as fair play.
Hey Brian, I'm Brian as well, and I live in Canton ga and would really like to meet with you and get some help as a very new beginner to amateur radio...
Need to start planning my vacations around field day. I was in the Tetons in some nasty storms just before Yellowstone closed. Shame I missed it. 73 de KO4NDV

Quite the array of antennas and people that want to get together and operate. I have never seen a setup as yours in CT unfortunately.

Awesome!

Great video and nice Field Day set up your club has, glad to see another video too.
Great setup. Thanks for sharing!
Nice! Looks like fun!
I just came across this video and discovered Brian is in my same town. I have to ask, is Brian OK? Just wondering if he will be posting again.
