Lots of us have heard of the Sherwood evaluations for most new ham radios. Most of us don’t really understand what we’re reading. Rob Sherwood joins us live to explain what the numbers mean, how he gets the numbers and what you need to know when looking for your next radio. Join me live and ask your questions.

Unlike trucking everything you own to a park for a POTA activation or field day, packing ham gear for a motorcycle trip is much more like packing for a SOTA activation. Heres a look at what I’m doing to pack lite and play big.

Working sideband stations on QRP, been there done that. Working D-Star over HF in the last solar cycle, done that. But working D-star on HF and making contacts around the country on 5 watts, now thats impressive.

Lunchtime live show on portable antenns, tuners and the ultimate force multiplier for preppers.

About a month or so ago, I realized I hadn’t seen any reviews on a fairly anticipated mobile radio that has been out in the wild for almost a year now. Wondering what that radio is? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.

IC 705 accessories, MOTA & Some Prepping for after election action

To everyone who griped about the new Icom IC-705 being a 10 watt radio with no tuner, this video is for you. I just rocked the California QSO party on 5 and 10 watts with no tuner. Plus, I made the first ever MOTA activation. MOTA? Motorcycles on the air. It’s kinda like POTA but for men.

I’ve owned this new radio for about a week now and this is my first opportunity to make you a proper video introduction. I’ll look at some of the first things that strike me coming out of the box that may interest you.

I don’t even know what to say about today’s show.
