The original Openspot by shark RF was a revolution in the ham radio hotspot world. I was an instant fan. About every two years, Shark RF has released an upgraded Openspot that has brought us closer and closer to "The Perfect Multi-Mode Hotspot". With all the innovation of the past several years, where does the new OpenSpot 4 Stack up?

I bought a repeater a few years back. I always had issues with it and after the move, it sat in a box in what was to become Studio B. Now, I’ve got it running better than ever and its connected via RF to my WiresX node in the house.

It’s been just over a year since I’ve moved to the Southern Idaho Command and during that past year, I’ve done almost all of my ham radio HF operations from a wire antenna and my IC-7300. I have a full contest radio system from Elecraft. One full year later Studio B as I like to call it is built, equipped and operational. This video is how I built it.

Last fall I purchased a DX Commander Classic for use in Studio A. Then winter hit the Southern Idaho Command with a vengeance and soon the permafrost was upon me. Now, the snow is gone, its 65 degrees out and its time to build that DX Commander.

Cabrillo log format has been a fact of life for many contests and QSO parties for several years now. If your a MAC based Ham Radio contester, you know our choices are limited. I just found out our choices just got smaller. Let’s talk about MAC Ham Radio software in particular, Maclogger DX, SkookumLogger and the now dead Cabconverter.jar.

I am NOT Self Spotting. I am NOT Self Spotting. I am NOT Self Spotting.

I’m getting ready to play contest radio on the Idaho QSO party. I’m betting activities like this will make you a better emergency operator when SHTF.

For years now, I’ve wanted to learn the art of CW. Work, kids, production schedules and laziness have kept me from learning. But now, I’ve gotten ahold of a new QRP radio that also does morse code encoding and decoding; with or without a CW key or the knowledge to use one.
