Thanks for watching!
#hamradio #overlanding #mooreexpo
Phase 1 of the 160m vertical project is underway… and as usual, it didn’t quite go to plan! In this episode, we:
– Lay the main mast down and test-fit a 9m extension (Signature 9 pole)
– Work out how to physically clear the surrounding trees (with a bit of improvisation!)
– Start thinking about the loading coil approach for a shortened 160m vertical
– Look at how the existing ground system (from the 40m 4-square) might be reused
– Discover some interesting behaviour in the mast under wind load…
There’s a mix of practical field work, a bit of problem solving, and yes… some questionable tree surgery decisions along the way. Technical highlights:
– ~19m existing mast used as a base for a shortened 160m vertical
– Planned loading coil (~30 turns on 4” former) to compensate for missing length
– Shared radial field (~800m of wire already in the ground)
– Top-loading effects from existing Yagis (unexpected bonus!)
– Early testing reveals guy rope stretch issues → likely move to Dyneema
This is very much an experiment in progress – real-world antenna building, not textbook perfection.
If you’ve ever wondered: Can you get away with a short 160m vertical? How much does top-loading really help? What actually happens when a mast starts bending in the wind? …then this one’s for you.
Next steps:
– Swap guy lines to low-stretch Dyneema
– Decide: taller mast vs loaded vertical
– Finalise coil tap points and feed arrangement
He Built a Full CW + SSB Radio From Scratch… Here’s How
In this episode, we gather around the workbench with special guest Mitch NK3H to talk through his latest homebrew radio build—a scratch-built receiver capable of both CW and SSB. We dig into the design approach, construction techniques, challenges along the way, and what it takes to successfully build a more complex radio from the ground up.
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.

PC Boot-Up Patience: The 30-Minute Waiting Game! #shorts
Patience is key! This machine’s boot-up takes 20-30 minutes. Avoid configuration until it’s fully ready, or risk losing progress. Grab a coffee or a walk—it’ll be worth it.

I recently picked up a W0AEZ battery for my ICOM radios. This one five watt hour battery will work with the IC-705, ID-52 & ID-50, making a great interchangeable option for your radios operations! W0AEZ also has high capacity batteries for Yaesu and Kenwood radios! Highly recommended!
