@Larryhatcher3694 wants to know how to connect his station to his ground rod. But there is only one problem, his station to his ground rod does not have a good, clear path for him to take. What do you think Dave’s solution will be?

Is the GooZeeZoo JPC-12 REALLY That Good? 😲 Testing the Hype!
Is the GooZeeZoo JPC-12 really as good as the hype? In this video, I take this portable multiband antenna out to the field for a POTA-style adventure to see how it performs in real-world ham radio conditions. We’ll look at its setup, portability, and on-air performance to see whether the JPC-12 deserves a place in your portable radio kit. Is it a hidden gem or just another antenna with big promises? Watch to find out!

Joe is trying to be more present in the HF bands after being on the lower bands for years, and is asking what the best way to get on the air using an SDR without frying any of the SDR circuitry. Dave’s thoughts on the matter? Watch to learn more!

I Didn't Like Xiegu's SDR Software, So I Made My Own!
The Xiegu G7250 supports Ethernet SDR connectivity, but its reliance on the aging HDSDR software left some amateur radio operators disappointed. Instead of complaining about Xiegu’s software choices, I decided to see what I could build myself. Using Linux, Python, and a little reverse engineering, I created a browser-based SDR interface that communicates directly with the G7250 over Ethernet, without needing HDSDR or its proprietary Windows DLL.

In this video, I’ll demonstrate how the G7250 Ethernet protocol works, how we built a Python web server with a documented REST API, and how we turned raw IQ data into a working 48 kHz spectrum analyzer and waterfall display. We can even tune the receiver directly from a web browser! It’s an experimental proof of concept, not a complete replacement for HDSDR, but it demonstrates what’s possible when amateur radio meets open development. The hardware already has capabilities worth exploring, and this is just the beginning.

I built my dream ham radio station—and realised I’d made life far too complicated.
So I’m moving the shack upstairs and dropping the plans for paid remote access. Supporting other operators would become another job, largely to pay for the room I was sitting in. Somewhere along the way, I’d lost sight of what I actually wanted.
The antenna field is staying. I’m simplifying the shack, moving upstairs with Wendy and the dogs, and making room for radio, antenna projects and writing my books.
Sometimes you have to put the brakes on and change the plan.
Breaking down the contact maps and final QSO data from our 3-antenna POTA shootout:
• Alpha Antenna Dipole: 38 contacts in 30 mins (strong East/West radiation pattern)
• Chameleon Vertical Whip: 26 contacts in 30 mins (omnidirectional corridor into the Midwest/Northeast)
• End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) Sloper: 38 contacts in 30 mins (great directional reach and spread to California)
Around 100 total contacts in 90 minutes! Every antenna proved its worth, but their radiation patterns tell the real story.
Which pattern fits your portable operating style best?
