Today I am testing my new very long wire receive antenna. If you have headphones, you will notice the transmit vertical antenna is on your left ear – and the receive antenna is on your right ear.. Anyway, I’m just having a bit of fun!

I made a custom doublet antenna for use with an outboard ATU using 16m of 450 ohm ladder line and 22m each leg of DX50 wire and a custom doublet centre. This is the short, edited video of the long-form "AMSR" style video uploaded here: https://youtu.be/s4WzIgCvAbQ

What Went Wrong With My Coax?
Under very high power, I had an Amplifier fault and then high SWR. What caused this? Did something carbonise and then cleared? Would it re-appear with QRO again? Your guess is as good as mine. I would need to strip it all down and check. I would prefer just to remake them all! Please let me know what you think! Callum.
Hey! Can you hear me? Join in, chat or just listen. Have fun and let’s cruise the bands looking for surprises. I am using my new 160m long End Fed for some RX. See if you can hear the difference in your gith ear. Headphones suggested. Callum.
I have a technique and a style that seems to work – yours might work better. Remember, people respond normaly very well to polite folks, so listen, check your timing and launch your callsign. Smiling and being polite is the key. Here is the link I showed you. https://www.hamsphere.com/19_1483_read.html 73, Callum.
Judges will run through the final 20 entries then it’s up for the PUBLIC VOTE. It’s not what WE think, it’s what YOU think!
Have you ever transmitted right by sea water? Give yourself another 10dB. That is 10 times the power! Let’s quickly have a look! Callum.
An amazing 24-month journey in 5-minutes. You guys and gals have been incredible.
