Hi! It’s Friday again and I’m back with my radio, an antenna and a keen ear. See if you can hear me and join in, chat or just listen. Let’s have a blast! Callum.

The most important piece of information you should be giving out is your signal report. After that, you Name and QTH. Have in reserve some snippets of other information so you don’t hesitate; radio, antenna and power (for instance) – some folks like a weather report too. Callum.

We’ve added a field camera so we MIGHT be able to see the sheep and lambs in the field today!
In this video, we progress from the Parasitic array and use the techniques in Phase Angles and Velocity Factor to build a switchable array left/right. This can also be driven without the phasing loop to crate a N/S pattern but personally I don’t think it’s worth it – and the tuning goes to pot too. OK if you are desperate I guess! Callum.

Hilarious that I didn’t have a ROGER, YES or QSL in my bank to press 🙂
I was about to call RU1A when someone else jumped in with MY CALL!? I jumped in and saved the day 🙂
Every time I mention Man-Made QRM, I get an argument from someone telling me I have it wrong. Well, I’ve only been doing this 20 years so I need to know. What is it? QRM or QRN?
