I Forgot One Critical Thing When Building This HF Station - Black Friday Station 3
I built a complete portable HF ham radio station using only Black Friday deals, then did something I always recommend others do: I ate my own dog food.
That’s when I ran into a problem I didn’t fully think through – See Below.
👉 Black Friday Deals Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx3caRwSKzU
👉 Video #1 (The Bag and the Tablet): https://youtu.be/RCm0qUJvANo
👉 Video #2 (The Radio and the Battery): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEihmlBh988
👉 Ultimate Ham Problem Solver, The NanoVNA F V2: https://geni.us/JGSqUGz
👉 Case for any NanoVNA: https://geni.us/uXTsu
👉 Open Ham Clock: https://openhamclock.com
The Xiegu G106 HF transceiver does not have a built-in SWR meter, and without one, there’s no obvious way to tune an antenna safely or correctly. Pair that with a portable vertical antenna like the Radioddity HF-009, and suddenly a “simple” setup isn’t so simple anymore.
So… now what?
In this video, I walk through:
• Why SWR matters when tuning HF antennas
• What happens when your radio has no SWR meter
• How to tune an HF antenna without a built-in meter
• Using a NanoVNA as a practical, low-cost solution
• Real-world portable HF tuning in the field
• Making contacts after tuning to prove it works
This is not a lab demo or a perfect setup. This is a real portable HF station, built on a budget, tuned in the field, with the same constraints new hams and portable operators actually face.
🔧 Gear & Concepts Covered
• Portable HF antennas
• Vertical antennas with ground radials
• Antenna resonance vs SWR
• NanoVNA antenna analysis
• HF antenna tuning without a tuner
• Field-deployable ham radio setups
• Beginner mistakes (yes, even experienced hams make them)
💬 Let’s Make the Comments Useful
At the end of the video, I ask a simple question:
If this were your station, how would YOU solve this problem?
Not “you should have…”
Not hindsight quarterbacking
Just constructive solutions, alternatives, and ideas that help everyone running portable HF, QRP rigs, or budget stations.
📚 Part of the Black Friday Ham Station Series
This is BF Station #3, part of an ongoing series where I build, test, and operate a complete ham radio station using Black Friday and budget gear only—then actually put it on the air.
If you’re new to HF, portable ops, POTA, SOTA, or just trying to build a station that actually works, this series is for you.
👍 If This Helped
• Like the video so others can find it
• Subscribe for more real-world ham radio content
• Drop your solution or tuning method in the comments
Mistakes are only failures if you don’t learn from them—and ham radio is way more fun when we solve problems together.

Why Warranties Matter: Manufacturing Flaws & Customer Service #shorts
Bad batches happen. Even in perfect production runs, defects occur. Warranties exist to protect you. Companies with strong warranties and customer service deserve your business.
