#HamRadio #WinterFieldDay #WFD #HRTV
On 2-3-2021 at 7pm PST I will back up the 2MC Anti-Net and host it here. We will be recapping Winter Field Day that just took place, last weekend.
Behind the Scenes:
I’m in my garage shack
Yaesu FT-991A is the radio
Mackie Mix12FX mixer
AKG Perception 120 condenser microphone on a boom
Two different Logitech webcams
The software is OBS
2020 Custom PC Build

I’ve often warned new hams away from used equipment. Here I talk about my experience with a used aircraft (all I could afford) which has caused me lots of trouble since then.
