I have an Allstar interface from Silver Bullet Nodes that should allow the Verotel VR-N7500 to become an Allstar node. Let’s see if we can get it to work.

Hopefully you get some great ideas on how to setup up your ham shack from this video.
Does the perfect ham radio shack really exist? I’m still not entirely pleased with mine myself, but as always with these things, it’s a work in progress.

This video will encompass my visit to the DX Engineering Showroom. This is the same place I bought my new Atomic Wall Clock, and it had quite a selection of anything a Ham would need or want. I even was able to interview Mark, KD8XQ, a very, helpful employee of DX Engineering, who did a fantastic job at answering my questions and explaining things very clearly.

On a recent SOTA I played with 2 meter Side Band and had a great time. Oh and I was at 6400 feet elevation wow what difference that makes for 2m!

What an amazing opportunity to visit with Andrea K2EZ. She has been the winner of numerous awards in her travels as a VHF Contest Rover. Andrea gives us a tour of “ROVER” and explains VHF Roving to us. If you are a Technician Class licensee, VHF contests can be a really fun niche in amateur radio.
“Andrea Slack – K2EZ is arguably the Best Ham at Roving VHF Operating Techniques. At the very least she IS an SME on this Topic …” -Ed Efchak, WX2R
The ARRL hosts many contests throughout the year including 3 VHF contests!

Show Notes (contains affiliate links): It’s A Fake Emergency, What’s In Your Bag?
On this week’s episode of Ham Radio Crash Course, a podcast roughly
based on amateur radio but mostly made up of responding to emails from
listeners, hosted by Josh Nass – KI6NAZ and his reluctant wife, Leah –
KN6NWZ, we talk about why hams need a first aid kit, solar panels dropping in price (most likely) and if there was a mock emergency, what’s in your ham radio bag?
Have a drink with us! Today, we’re drinking… Water
Josh has a short tip with the Ham Radio Minute: You Need a First Aid Kit
