The Luba 5000 has a camera… I hacked the stream (although it’s a bit flaky!)

Birds are still singing and the odd aircraft flying over. SOme traffic can be heard between Baslall Commong and Warwick… Other than that, pretty quiet in Warwickshire

Today, I’m going to try and install the Luma robot mower. No talking – just the noise of birds singing, wind on the mic and the odd Aircraft. Treat this as moving wallpaper for. It also means Wendfy can see I’m working!

Start opn 20m, then maybe 80m? Just for fun anyway…

Lots to cover – and we’ll also jump on HF too. Join in, chat or call. Just for fun.

Today we do the full build of the new DX Commander Venture. SWR is perfect – and see this video for "live action" on 20m: https://youtu.be/9UpHyqngbJQ?si=sar3ZWHbpFhTahZV&t=916

I made 10 x bunches of x 4 radials, just 7-feet long (2m) for my new Venture Antenna – but this would work for any DX Commander. Suggest going longer for 80m band.
BTW, that DX50 Antenna Wire is here: https://dxcommander.com/product/dx50-wire-by-the-metre/
