Quick 10-minute special about my studio – I quickly cover cameras, lighting, sound and some of the tech. I use this for both making videos – and recording / playing music in my band and generally chilling out (I have a projector and electric screen for movies!). Cheers, Callum.

5 and 9! Why is everyone 5 and 9? I have a theory – but your ideas might be better than mine. Let me know! Callum.

Today, we are starting slightly later at 13:00 local (12:00 UTC). SOme 40m, 20m and who knows, maybe up higher still. One day we’ll do some VHF too – but I had an accident with my VHF coax! Using callsign M0XXT and logging with N1MM software. 73, Callum.

This is what you do if you want to call CQ on Ham Radio and make your FIRST ever contact. Easy. See what you think. PS – DON’T GIVE UP! 73, Callum, M0MCX.

I have a technique that will STOP your Mic Shy in one easy-to-remember technique. The other technique is operating in contests, that normally solves it too. See what you think. Callum, M0MCX.

Why are *SOME* Special Event Callsign Operators unprepared? Let me explain! Callum, M0MCX.

TRansmitting from Honiley in Warwickshire across ther shortwave bands. Using callsign M0XXT. Tune in, join the chat or see if you can reach me? Lots of fun today (I hope!). Callum.

How do you manage an accidental Pile Up on ham radio? I have a technique! Let me know what you think. Callum, M0MCX.
