12 Volts, 6 Men and 1 Mountain – My Tightest Edit Ever (4k)

Post author By admin
Post date August 29, 2022

I spent FAR TOO much time editing this 2:30 mins Trailer! I ued it for the Premiere at https://youtu.be/lDPeFvQIo3Q and serves as a great memory jogger for an amazing weekend. Be inspired! Go and have fun out in the country. Nothing beats it. We made 350 contacts and 50 countries at 100W and with regular AGM 12V batteries across about 7 hours of operating. HF Antenna was DX Commander Expedition and VHF was Diamond V-2000 on a Clark 8m mast. TS-590SG for HF and TS-2000 for VHF. Just for fun! Thanks to Tom M0RMY, Tim M0URX, Jonathan M0JSX, Carl M0SZT and Mike M0MSN for the fun and games.

Very LARGE and Very “small” Numbers – International SI Units

Post author By admin
Post date August 26, 2022

Micro, Milli, Kilo, Mega and Giga. We don’t normally write 132,000 Volts (for instance), instead we write 132kV or 132mV or 132uV or even 132MV. What are these symbols and how do we use them? This is the International System of Units which is the world’s most widely used system of measurement and today we cover micro, milli, kilo, Mega and Giga.

N1MM Logger for total Beginners – DX or Contest Logging

Post author By admin
Post date August 25, 2022

Many people ask me what logging sotware I use. It’s N1MM and is exremely popular with both DXpeditions and Contesters alike. I use it both for general logging and when I enter contests too. You can also keep your FT8 logs safe. I only scratch under the surface of N1MM. The capabilities are huge. Enjoy! Callum, M0MCX.

Post date August 19, 2022

Dipoles for Ham Radio are the basis of almost all antennas. But what is the difference between a flat-top and an inverted V dipole? Is an Inverted V more omni-directional..? Let’s take a look. Callum, M0MCX.
