I had the pleasure of talking with Chris (2E0UKH) aka the Digital Analogue Ham about our attempts at making low power DX contacts between the US and the UK. We also talk about DX, Tropospheric Ducting, and staying motivated in Ham Radio.

Here is how I set up a RadioWavz 80-4 Ham Radio Antenna. This is a fan dipole that covers 80 meters through 10 meters and will be my primary station antenna for a while.

This antenna was given to me by Don, W1FYG AKA Smoke Signals RF
