From start to finish, this honestly took me about 6-7 minutes to download and run WSJT-X and have a contact on FT8. Less of a tutorial, more of an inspiration I guess but hey, if you like working things out, you'll get it. Be inspired! Callum.

I hazard a guess that the reason HF folks give out 59 reports all day long is historic and possibly lazy. But they are here to stay - not least in case you accidentally upset the op you have just given a report to of 5 and 4 - when he's given you 10dB over S9! :)

Years ago, we ran a huge triangular loop at the Scout Hut in Dorridge. This was fed with coax and a 4:1 balun to bring impedance to near 50 ohms. I discuss the problem in matching the harmonics related to 80m and 40m and also the slightly higher SWR on 160m due to the loop (in percentage terms) being low to the ground. All the other bands were fine.

Let us understand what happens if you have a hill or mountain in the way of your radio signal because I recently published a video showing you what happens if you have a slope going towards the target! This is the other way around. We can calculate the angle between you and the hill and then work out the losses. 73. Callum.

I filmed this and built it inside 60 minutes at the same time! Buy yours here: https://goo.gl/VRsRYT. Famous DX Commander All Bander Vertical Classic. Multiple Quarter Waves. Radials to suit. Steve Nelson recons he can build this up inside 15 minutes. I can't do it that quickly...! He must be a genius or something..!

So I grounded the fence to the ground to help my Inverted L on 80m. WIll it make any difference? HUGE project this time - but only 8 minutes for you to watch. Unedited, this is a 75GB memory card, I have thrown away 90% of the footage to give you a faster experience! Callum. M0MCX, DX Commander

Ideally suited to operators with a good quality ATU system, a doublet offers an all-band-solution to HF but will need re-tuning each time you change bands. Enjoy. Callum. DX Commander.

Assuming the internet holds up - and YouTube's new STreaming solution actually works this time, maybe we can put a show on. Join in, listen in - or just chat.
