Fancy a quick blast on HF? See what the bands are like!

Years ago, I attended a presentation that Nigel (SK) G4NRR gave. He explained that dipoles resonate on every other harmonic and full wave loops were resonant on every harmonic. These extremely basic rules are the fundamental build blocks of almost every antenna I build. See what you think. Callum, M0MCX.

I’m all set for some DX on HF. Can you hear me? Join in the chat or just listen in, it doesn’t matter – as long as you are having fun. 73 Callum.

I need to see if we can melt this new material. Join me for the LIVE test.. Callum.

Making something fun is good entertainment and a serious distraction in life. This is almost all my Multipliers during CQWW. Missed out is Peru and China (before I streamed on day-2). Using my own call, I had a LOT of fun tracking down new countries inclusing almost all of South America. 73, Callum. I was using this antenna: https://youtu.be/V8Qq4-0_TjQ

There are 4 knots I use all the time, the Alpine Butterfly, a Bowline, a Stopper Knot and a Half Hitch. Learn these and you will never need another climbing contraption ever again. Callum.

OK, here is the challenge.. Make a vertical out of scrap and send me the pics. WInner will receive a brand new DX Commander Classic! Join in. Go on, you know you can! Closing date is 20th December. Send pics and some words to qrz@m0mcx.co.uk. Have fun. I’ll make mine in a week or so! Callum.

It’s Friday again, please join in, see if you can hear me, heckle on the live-chat. Just for fun. Callum.

Fabulous upgrade to speed up your POTA activations. We now have notches in the Expedition plates so that insead of threading your elements up the holes, you will instead "snap" them in place. See what you think! Link for upgrade below here. 73, Callum.

I need a 160m Antenna. Let’s look at Inverted L, Sloper, Loaded Vertical a Compact Dipole and the Halo (loop). Let us consider the problem, walk the area and discuss how each would work. 73, Callum.More videos:
