Some sounds of 14 MHz/20 meter band this afternoon into VK (around 0600-0700 UTC). DX has been great the past week on 20m to Europe! Maybe a good sign of what Solar Cycle 25 might have to offer.

I’ve not had the room for a full size HF antenna such as a dipole, or even a G5RV. So I got myself a DX Commander All Band Vertical from Callum – the DX Commander and WOW! This antenna is so simple and allows me to operate on EVERY HF band using only a small footprint in my yard.
Verticals can traditionally be known as noisy antennas too, so I show HF noise levels at my new QTH.

It’s the age old statement – "the hobby is dying"… but is it really? Recruiting and retaining people especially youth in Amateur Radio can be a very tough thing to do.
Today Sterling N0SSC and I discuss the future of ham radio and the parts we can all play in making this a fun activity for all ages, genders and interests.
