My First CQ call at 100W in a long time! LOL

Checking out propagation. Just having a play.

Testing a repair I just completed..

Cruising ham radio. NOTE, I can’t go "ultra-low" latency at 1440 however, the latency SHOULD be less than about 20 seconds..

This will apply to almost any modern ham radio. We had some fun today "Wide banding" Tom’s TS-480. Mike M0MSN in charge with TWO soldering irons and some amazing magnifying glasses! Callum.

Tom’s fabulous 100W Mobile Installation sporting the Kenwood TS-480SAT and the Tarheel (80m to 10m) with hands-free automatic tuning. Tom also runs VHF / UHF on a separate head. This video is uncanny because Jason has JUST also launched his video on almost the same system!

I’m in Cornwall.. Station about 200 miles away. Just having a quick blast before dinner..

I fix the ground straps on the antenna, checked continuity between cabinet and ground rod and discuss the dangers of getting station ground incorrectly.

Numerous problems to fix inclusing ARC faults and RF in my audio. Withoiut the use of ferrites, I seemed to have cured it.

I could see on CCTV that the 12.4 was lying on the ground. I went up early this morning to see if I could fix it.
