The Case That Makes Expensive Test Gear Less Scary
Tonight we’re checking out some custom cases for ham radio test gear, including the RigExpert antenna analyzer, TinySA, NanoVNA, and Surecom SW-102.
We’ll talk about protecting your gear, what makes a good field case, and where these tools fit in the shack, go-bag, or POTA kit. Plus, we’ll have a giveaway during the livestream.

Today I want to show you a hidden trick with 2-VFO radios that completely changed how I listen and manage to pile-ups on HF. Most amateurs use dual VFOs for split operation – listening to the DX on one VFO and the callers on the other. But I accidentally discovered another use entirely.
By using two completely different antennas at the same time – for example a vertical on one VFO and a low dipole or delta loop on the other – you can create a kind of stereo image in your headphones. Longer-distance, low-angle DX may appear strongly in one ear, while more local stations arrive more strongly in the other.
On 40m and below this becomes fascinating.
In this video I demonstrate:
How I configure left/right audio
Why different antennas hear signals differently
How arrival angle affects reception
Why this helps untangle pile-ups
Why 2-VFO radios are far more useful than most people realise
Homebrew Radio from 1950s Crystals to Satellite - Stuart M0SGV
Stuart M0SGV started soldering at age 8 in the 1950s, building crystal sets with a copper tip heated over a gas cooker. Nearly 70 years later he is still at the bench, building tube transmitters from 1949 magazine circuits, Hans Summers QMX and QDX rigs, a Michigan Mighty Mite, and a high voltage power supply built from scratch to power all of it.
In this episode Stuart walks us through a dozen homebrew projects, shares his philosophy on project selection, and offers hard won advice on soldering and why leaded solder is non-negotiable. We also talk about his connections to the Michigan QRP Club and G QRP Club, and his next big project: a QO-100 geostationary satellite transceiver.
Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.
