In this Lid Tips video we build a DIY 4:1 Balun that can be used in various Ham Raio Antenna projects, we will also test it with a NanoVNA. We use two ft140-43 toroids to build the balun. Please leave any questions, comments, suggestions or recommendations below and I will do my best to respond.

Another great POTA activation. This one was a quick one, as Jherica was itching to put her new Xiegu G90 on the air. We used a top secret antenna, so pardon the lack of intro there… a video is coming out soon about it.

Today on the Livestream: Simple and effective protection for your electronics, radios and critical componants to keep you operational after an EMP event. We’re testing store bought EMP protection devices and a few home built faraday cages from the inter webs to quickly see what works and what doesn’t.
Here’s a tangle-free way to wind up your antenna wires without a line winder or any extra weight. I call it the “Goat Wind” because I learned it from a WG0AT video. The man is a SOTA legend and has produced some great videos – check out his channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/goathiker) if you haven’t.
For the record, it’s pronounced “wīnd,” not “wind” ????… silly English words.
Anyway, try this out and let me know how it works for you. Sure, you’ll still occasionally get a tangle, but by not twisting the wire, it’ll unfurl without issue the majority of the time.
I’ve decided to start a new series of 30 second Quick Tip videos that will help you with your projects and field operating. Stay tuned – there will be lots of good stuff to come. Hope you enjoy!
