Fine-tuning your antenna? Use the telescopic stick! Adjust the whip’s position for small SWR changes. Coarse adjustments with the inductor tap will make bigger jumps.

Today we’re taking a first look at the brand-new Gabil Triple Mag Mount — yes, they finally jumped into the heavy-duty mag mount game. I’ll show you what’s in the box, how the mount is built, how strong the magnets are, and how easy (or not) it is to route the coax and get this thing on the air.

Whether you’re running a mobile HF whip, a VHF/UHF antenna, or something heavier, a solid triple mag mount can make or break your setup — so let’s see if this one is worth the hype.

See how a small adjustment to the antenna dramatically affects the SWR. We get it re-tuned for the 20-meter band and make a contact at 5 watts! Not bad at all.

Welcome to the truck camper build! Today we’re building a fully portable HF ham radio station in the back of the truck, powered by a Power Queen LiFePO4 battery and a suction-mount antenna system. We’re not just building—we’re testing it on the air and making a POTA contact!

Today’s Station:
👉 Power Queen 125Ah Bluetooth LiFePO4: https://ipowerqueen.com/products/power-queen-12v-125ah-group27-smart-deep-cycle-lithium-battery?ref=temporarilyoffline

👉 Anderson Powerpole distribution block: https://youtu.be/7rteR00m6iI?si=6S6taFMCEzbWs24M
👉 FT-857D: https://geni.us/JMtH7q

This truck-camper station can power:
• HF station
• Diesel heater
• Winch
• Laptop, phone, Pi, etc.

125Ah + solar = real off-grid ham radio capability.

📡 Next Steps in the Build
• 400W folding solar panel setup
• Truck camper electrical system
• Radio mounting & interior layout
• Final portable POTA configuration

Xiegu has released a brand-new HF amplifier — the GPA-100 — and I got my hands on an early prototype. The goal: see if it really works with the Icom IC-705, test the Bluetooth band switching, and push it to the full 100 watts. It did better than I expected.

Today’s Station:

I walk through:
• What’s included in the box
• Bluetooth wireless band switching
• Compatibility with IC-705, G90, X6100, and X6200
• Real power measurements (up to 135 watts!)
• FT8 tests + live contacts shown

The cool part? The GPA-100 keeps cost lower by removing the tuner and adding wireless control. It really did work end-to-end with the 705 and WSJT-X just like it should.

If you run a QRP rig and want to get up to 100 watts, this might be the easiest and cheapest path.

I’m thrilled with this new antenna! High-quality build, thoughtful design, and easy setup. It’s already tuned and ready for the 20-meter band. Perfect for a beautiful day outside!
