We’re exploring antenna coil tapping techniques. By adjusting the tap point on the coil, we can optimize signal reception. We examine the difference between tapping the bottom, top, and middle of the coil for peak performance. #AntennaCoil #SignalStrength #RadioTechnology #AntennaDesign #ElectronicsDIY #RFEngineering #WirelessCommunication #HamRadio #TechTips #DIYAntenna

And so it begins… again. Think of it like a ham radio answering machine – ever wonder if your repeater is actually dead? As a repeater coordinator, wanted to know if you’ve got good coverage? What the "feel" of your repeater is? Who is driving people away? Boondock Echo has you covered. Yet another way that AI is improving ham radio!

It gets exciting as we delve into antenna design. There’s Velcro for easy removal, end caps protect threads, and a beveled end simplifies assembly. Our weatherproof coil and adjustable mechanism offers fine-tuning, plus a ground stake with SO239 connector. Coax and BNC adapter included! #AntennaSetup #HamRadio #AntennaDesign #WeatherproofAntenna #CoilAntenna #WhipAntenna #GroundSystem #SO239Connector #RG58Coax #BNCAdapter

Steve, KM9G, encourages new hams to experiment and ignore negativity. We discuss paradigms, cognitive dissonance, and the importance of innovation in ham radio. Keep hope alive!

I ditched Starlink for T-Mobile’s blazing fast 5G home internet—and it worked… until it didn’t. Parked deep in a river valley with upload speeds slower than dial-up, I turned to the $200 Proxicast MIMO antenna to save the day.

Does this omnidirectional antenna boost my speeds enough for live streaming and uploads? Or is it just another overhyped gadget?

📡 In this video:
• Real-world testing in a remote RV park
• DIY ham-style antenna mounting
• Upload/download benchmarks before & after
• External antenna setup tips
• Honest results (spoiler: not everything goes as planned)
