Fiberglass Poles (Short #102)

@stevesummersell_K4WXX is wondering if the grounding plate sold by DX Engineering works with fiberglass military poles. Will the poles interact with the grounding plate?

Folded Antennas for Ham Radio? The TRUTH About Linear Loading!

Need to fit a 40-meter or 80-meter antenna in a small yard? Linear loading might be your secret weapon. In this video, we’ll break down how linear loading works, why it’s different from traps and loading coils, and how to design one that actually performs on the air.

Whether you’re a backyard builder or just antenna-curious, you’ll learn how to squeeze big-band performance into small spaces, without making your signal disappear.

3 Critical Risks of GMRS Deregulation You Must Know

Dive into the heated FCC debate on deleting rules for GMRS repeater linking! In this video, we break down exclusive Reply Comments from a 50+ year telecom veteran and physician opposing the removal of 47 CFR §95.333(c), §95.1733(a)(8), and §95.1749. Discover the 1976 origins of the PSTN interconnection ban, how it prevents "common carrier" violations and "theft of service" under Title 18 USC §1029, and why allowing wide-area networks could monopolize limited GMRS spectrum—threatening public safety and emergency radio access.

Is deregulation a win for hams or a disaster for shared bands? Watch now and join the discussion in comments. Like & subscribe for more FCC updates, ham radio tips, and PRS rule breakdowns!

Working The ISS The Easy Way

Working The ISS The Easy Way

The CSNTechnologies S.A.T. along with 2 Yagi Antennas & a Rotator sure makes working Satellites super easy! We had 2 Yagi antennas that were dual polarized (I don’t know the technical name for that, but they had both vertical and horizontal elements on them), one for 2 meters, one for 70cm on a mast with a rotator connected to a CSNTechnologies S.A.T. box that is connected to the rotator, then connects to your computer via web browser and we had an Icom IC-9700 that was also controlled by the S.A.T. box. That thing controls the rotator, azimuth, elevation, CAT control, everything. The software shows what satellites are coming up and you literally click on which one you want to work and the S.A.T. box does the rest. It was really cool to just pick a satellite and work it!
