Update on Kit Building QCX-mini (#347)

Update on Kit Building QCX-mini (#347)

I’m spacing out updates on the kit build of the QCX-mini from qrp-labs.com. I’m responding to Oggies who want to know more detail about the actual build process. Today I show how I have things set up for the build on my workbench, and how I’ve wound and placed transformer T1 on the board ready for solder.

Will it Antenna? Ham Radio in the Outdoors With a Touch of POTA

Will it Antenna? Ham Radio in the Outdoors With a Touch of POTA


Today, we combine a couple of hobbies into one. The great outdoors and ham radio. We venture into the woods and to the lake to find some spots that we can answer the age old question… Will it antenna? That, combined with a great QSO we got to eavesdrop on between a seven year old and a ham at Arecibo, it is hard to imagine a better way to play radio… then we added a POTA activation on top!

Will it can-tenna?

Will it can-tenna?

What happens if you tack-weld together 45 empty beer cans and set it up as a 20m quarter wave ground-mounted vertical antenna? Today we find out.

In the spirit of #WillItAntenna night for #MNHR, I committed to the hard work of emptying 45 cans of craft beer over a couple of weeks to provide the necessary material required for this antenna. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it. I may be a few pounds heavier and slower going up mountains, but it was all worth it for the DX Brewmander.

But will it actually work? Watch and find out.

If you liked this and want to see more similar videos, here’s the "Will It Antenna?" Monday Night Ham Radio playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL01YuCls6edaEcJdaiSTtEXtGT806dAy2

I get many questions about my gear, so I’ve put together an Amazon store with some of my favorites. https://www.amazon.com/shop/k6arkportableradio
Amazon gives me a few pennies on the dollar for each sale made through that link which helps support my building and experimenting.
