Monte Sano State Park Camping Huntsville Hamfest 2026

Monte Sano State Park Camping Huntsville Hamfest 2026
Monte Sano State Park Camping Huntsville Hamfest 2026

What a great time had by all last week. Camping at Monte Sano State Park with all of your friends, followed by an amazing ham fest. Huntsville Hamfest truly is an event everyone should partake in. A lot of us say it’s the most fun hamfest of all of them. Not necessarily because of the fest itself, which is great, but the week leading up to it. Monte Sano State Park is literally full of hams. Every single camp site and cabin is reserved well in advance by us. Hams. It’s truly remarkable driving around and seeing antennas in every camp site. People wave, say hello, stop by to talk radio, check out your setup, etc. and vice versa. This is my camp site. I also thought it would be cool to show you around the park. The cabins, the overlook, the planet-arium, day use area, lodge and more. We even had a really nasty thunderstorm on Thursday that took out one of the arms on my awning. Fortunately I just ordered a replacement part and it was less than $20! I did not expect it to be that cheap. We had a great Four Days In August event held by Steve KM9G from Temporarily Offline. 4 days of ham stuff, activities, talks, hands on stuff, all on the mountain at the John Scoble pavilion. On Friday, the big cookout takes place. Thanks to Kyle, @AA0Z for doing all the hard work coordinating the cookout. What started 6 years ago as just a small little POTA on the mountain before the hamfest, has now turned into an over 200 people strong cookout. It went so smoothly this year too. Everything was very well organized, the lines were fast, and everyone got plenty to eat. Very big kudos to Kyle and all the volunteers for making it such a success.

The Antenna Problem You Can’t See

The Antenna Problem You Can’t See
The Antenna Problem You Can’t See

Does your radio lock up in transmit after you press PTT? Do you have to unplug accessories, disconnect cables, or power-cycle the radio just to regain control, only for the problem to return on the next transmission? The culprit may not be bad firmware or a defective radio. Common-mode RF current can travel along the outside of your coax and find its way into microphones, USB cables, computers, and radio-control circuits.

Homebrew ATUs & Matching Units for QRP — Peter HB9EBE

Homebrew ATUs & Matching Units for QRP — Peter HB9EBE
Homebrew ATUs & Matching Units for QRP — Peter HB9EBE

Peter HB9EBE has been building his own antenna matching units since getting back into ham radio about 10 years ago, and his approach is about as minimal as it gets. His go-to field tuner is a homebrew L-match built around a single toroid and polyvaricon, small enough to fit in a dental floss case and simple enough to build in 30 minutes. Combined with a QMX in a custom carbon fiber enclosure and a random wire on a 3D-printed spool, the whole station comes in under 400 grams.

In this episode we dig into his homebrew matching unit designs, his antenna evolution from resonant end-feds to random wire, why he chose an L-match over other topologies for field use, and how he handles the tradeoffs of ultralight QRP construction when every gram counts.

Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.
