Are Grounds Even Necessary? (Short #166)

Are Grounds Even Necessary? (Short #166)

Tekspeditionplanet9109 asks how antennas without grounds and counterpoise work, and if they do. Do they work as well as one with a ground or counterpoise?

Shack Chat: Everything I’m Working On

Shack Chat: Everything I'm Working On


Today’s video is a bit different. My DJI Pocket 3 has gone back to Amazon for repair, so I dusted off my trusty Canon 80D, stuck an old stereo Rode microphone on top and thought I’d just sit down and have a chat. This is completely unscripted.

I wanted to talk through all the projects currently on the go here at the station, what still needs finishing, what’s worrying me, what’s exciting me, and what videos are likely coming up over the next few months.

Topics include:

• Mast #2 and the 15m Yagi
• Rotator Genius control issues
• Remote station development
• 160m antenna experiments
• PTT lockout protection
• Relay protection and amplifier switching
• Ethernet infrastructure around the field
• Future communications shed plans
• Lightning and surge protection
• IOTA Contest plans
• DX Fest / Open Day preparations
• Diversity reception vs stereo receive
• Future video ideas

So grab a coffee, pull up a chair and join me in the shack for a while.

The time has come to make due on old promises. Join me on a Nature photography hike to talk about what’s on the table for the next chapter of my channel.

Mastering forest cinematography requires balancing heavy camera gear while navigating rugged, unpredictable terrain.

This footage provides a candid look at how I manage outdoor video production while trekking through dense woodlands. By analyzing these clips, you will see exactly how I position my body and equipment to secure stable shots despite the uneven dirt paths and natural obstacles. The focus here is on maintaining fluid camera movement when you do not have the luxury of a paved studio floor or perfectly flat ground.

I am sharing these specific angles to help you improve your own field workflow when shooting on location. Observing how a filmmaker moves through a natural environment offers practical lessons on weight distribution and shot composition that often get lost in theory. Whether you are building your kit or refining your technique, understanding the physical demands of forest cinematography is essential for getting professional results away from home.

Subscribe for weekly filmmaking gear breakdowns, and comment below to let me know which challenging terrain you want to see me film in next.
