From puking to pulling in monsters. It eventually works out. #fishing #catch

We are out on the open ocean, with the Independence, getting into some serious deep sea fishing. The saltwater fishing was incredible, and you can see the fishermen at sea working hard to get the bites. This fishing video captures all the action and the thrill of boating on the big blue. 🎣

Never Get Stuck Again: The Ultimate Blue Multi-Adapter Kit

In this video, I’m showing off the blue universal multi-adapter kit from GigaParts that has officially become a "must-have" in my ham radio gear. Whether you’re doing POTA or a home setup, having the right connection for BNC, PL259, or more esoteric plugs is the difference between playing radio and going home empty-handed. I’ll walk you through how these interchangeable cores work so you can stop carrying a bag of random adapters and start being prepared for any connection.

Failure Is Always An Option

I got to go play radio yesterday. Decided to do some QRP with my new antenna. The N6ARA Tiny Gawant. https://n6ara.com/product/tinygawant-kit/ It’s a pretty cool little antenna, though yesterday might not have been the best day for QRP.
