Just for fun, enjoying my ham radio!

If you have an old laptop you were wondering what to do with, perhaps take a look at a free remote control setup. Take your ham radio station anywhere in the world with you! It’s easy. Just follow my step-by-step instructions. Of course, there are many ways to skin a cat. This is not a list of all the different solutions – but the way I got it work absolutely free. Enjoy. Callum.

A cage dipole is a number of elements spread out in a "cage" all connected together to make effectively a larger "skin effect" (surface area) antenna. John and I look at two solutions for wide-banding antennas. We also discuss skin effect and consider if this is the success of the DX Commander? Answers on a postcard please! Callum.

What elevation will this be coming in at. Suggest 1-2 degrees.
