I’ll be operating and streaming live from a local SOTA summit during the YouTuber’s Hamfest. Hope to get you all in the log, and I’ll also do my best to watch the chat for any questions about SOTA.
Please join in on the fun – I’ll be working 20 and 40m which should cover much of the US.
I get a new toy that i just have to play with. I cut and put power pole connectors on a 12 foot 12 Volt Extension cord for my Batter System.

Trying to those last few states, grid squares, or DXCC entities? Want to make a contact with a particular station half-way around the world? VOACAP is an incredible tool to help plan your contact and maximize your chance of success.
As part of the YouTuber’s Hamfest – 2021, I’ll be spending 30 minutes presenting what I’ve learned about VOACAP and how to use it to maximize your odds of that elusive DX contact.
This video shows how I installed my Yaesu FT-8900 into my vehicle. I go through how my ham radio is installed in the mobile, including the remote head, how to connect it to three separate antennas using diplexers, power wiring, APRS setup + our new van which is being retrofitted for Field Day operations!

Have you ever had problems operating your radio near commercial communications towers? Maybe you were a victim of front-end overload? Find out what transceiver front-end overload is and ways you can mitigate it in this video.
If you participate in Summits on the Air, it’s very likely you’ve seen this. To demonstrate, I activate a SOTA peak with a large group of communication towers on it, which is notorious for causing problems on 2 meters FM.

Antennas-Amplifiers make high quality HF/VHF/UHF high power capability yagi’s as well as other ham radio accessories such as band pass filters, low noise amplifiers, power splitters and more!
Today I review the replacement antenna for my remote site, the PA144-432-19-3-2CAP antenna which is a dualband 2m/70cm yagi on a single boom with two separate connectors. How well are these antennas built and what kind of performance can you expect?
