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.

Ham Radio Antenna Wire
You can use any wire for antennas however there are characteristics to look for, stength & durability are key, as is low resistivity but also is it nice to handle etc? Few wires are actually made as antenna wire. But I do know of one! Check this out. Callum, DX Commander.
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.
In this (Live) video, we will look at:
What is a Dipole
Coax or Balanced feeder
How they work?
Dipole or Doublet
Do we need a chokeChoke
How do we connect to the feedpoint
Shapes, Flat Top or Inv V – and Z shapes etc
How Height above ground changes tune
What happens to your signal (when we change the height)
Enjoy! Callum.
Ham Radio Antennas normally work better at height. The Hexbeam is no exception and although a result can be achieved from about 6m AGL, for the 20m band – we ought to be looking at least around half a wavelength. Let’s have a look at the problem and understand the physics. Callum M0MCX.
People not hearing you on Amateur Radio? Maybe I have the answer. Callum.
