We Launched A Pico Ballon!

WE4DX Ham Radio Adventures Club has successfully launched its first Pico Balloons. These are the Traquito boards for those interested. I have no idea what that means but that’s what they are lol! I do know that we used hydrogen gas to fill the balloons and they wouldn’t let me play with any because all I wanted to do was blow them up. I like fire. After last years failure to get any working balloons up, it was really cool to finally get some deployed that transmitted data. A very cool project indeed.

SWR: Debunking Myths and Understanding Antenna Systems #shorts

SWR, or standing wave ratio, is important but not the definitive measure. Knowing the SWR of antennas is helpful. An SWR meter is needed in the radio, outside the radio, on the tuner, and at the antenna base. Anything under 2:1 is fantastic.

What Happens if You Use a Fake Radio Call Sign?

What Happens if You Use a Fake Radio Call Sign?

In this eye-opening video, we dive deep into the latest FCC Notice of Violation issued on September 29, 2025. Discover how FCC agents busted unauthorized one-way broadcasts on 7.200 MHz from a Connecticut residence, where faked conversations with a bogus callsign were used. Plus, the shocking denial of station inspection that sealed the deal!
We break down the key rule violations under 47 CFR § 97.113(b) and § 97.103(c), what it means for ham radio enthusiasts, and the potential penalties looming. Is this a wake-up call for all operators to stick to two-way comms only? Watch to find out and stay compliant!

The DSW CW Radio Revival — Ham Nuggets Season 6 Episode 37

The DSW CW Radio Revival -- Ham Nuggets Season 6 Episode 37

Last week we started to look at the DSW-II-20 Radio. I’ve been carrying this around for a few years wanting to take a look at it and here we are… finally. We were able to verify side tone, but not really see any power output from the radio. The question is: Does it work fine and we just don’t know how to use it… or does it need massive repairs.

As always, success isn’t guaranteed, but progress is.

This is some of the gear we used last week, I’ll update the list if we find anything else we need!
