Shreveport Bossier Hamfest Walk Through

I’ve wanted to go ever since I moved to Texas. It’s only 3.5 hours away. So I towed the teardrop North, camped at Caddo Lake State Park (video to follow) and attended the Shreveport Bossier Ham Fest. It was a great time. I got to see a lot of cool stuff, meet a lot of great people, pick up some cool things I definitely need, and I even got to get on their special event station and operate as W1AW/5 (sorry for the terrible live stream audio if you caught the stream) That was cool! Anyway, here’s a walk through of the fest so you can live vicariously through me!

This GMRS Radio Is Built to Take a Beating

The Radioddity X1 Pro is a rugged, repeater-capable GMRS handheld built for trails, farms, campsites, overlanding, and emergency communication. It offers up to 7 watts of output on supported GMRS channels, 22 standard GMRS channels, eight repeater channels, and adjustable NRC noise reduction to help cut through wind, engines, equipment, and other background noise.

👉 Nagoya NA-771 Antenna: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/5vd7u1

👉 Surecom SW-102 Case: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/x99u8q
👉 Radioddity GA-5WB: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/pdh2gi

Its IP67-rated housing is dustproof and designed to survive temporary water immersion, while the removable 3000mAh battery supports USB-C charging and up to 18 hours of claimed operating time. The X1 Pro can also record and replay up to 20 received transmissions, each up to one minute long, so missed instructions can be reviewed without asking someone to repeat themselves.

Additional features include NOAA weather scanning and alerts, an SOS function, built-in flashlight, three power levels, and a reinforced ABS body intended for rain, mud, snow, outdoor work, and off-road use. In this review, I test whether the Radioddity X1 Pro delivers useful real-world performance or merely arrives wearing waterproof armor.

Homebrew Transceivers Designed for the Trail — Paul VK3HN

Homebrew Transceivers Designed for the Trail — Paul VK3HN

Paul VK3HN has been building homebrew radio gear since the late 1970s and activating SOTA summits in the Australian bush since around 2015 — and he’ll tell you the two pursuits feed off each other perfectly. His Summit Prowler series of homebrew superhet transceivers were designed specifically for backpacking and activating, with every design decision driven by the constraints of the trail.

In this episode Paul walks through his journey from a scratch built 2 meter FM receiver as a teenager to a series of increasingly refined portable CW and SSB transceivers, shares how his 20 year career as a software engineer made the jump to Arduino and Si5351 easier than most, and talks about choosing to stay a builder rather than become a full time YouTuber.

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.
