DXFest 2026 – Behind the Scenes of Our Ham Radio Open Day

DXFest 2026 was our annual Open Day here at DX Commander HQ – and this year I handed the camera to Emily M6ELM!

This is her look behind the scenes at the day: meeting some of the people who travelled to see us, wandering around the antennas and stations, visiting the shack, satellite demonstrations, RSGB, QSO Director, plenty of ham radio chat – and, of course, the café!

We also put the big tower through its rather spectacular lowering routine, with an audience watching, before finishing the afternoon with our DXFest raffle – assisted by young Miles, who did an excellent job of picking the winning tickets.

A wonderfully relaxed afternoon of amateur radio, antennas, friends, food and plenty of laughs.

A huge thank you to everyone who travelled to DXFest 2026, everyone who helped make the day happen, and especially Emily for filming it.

See you next time!

The Better Meshtastic Tracker Isn’t the One I Expected

The Better Meshtastic Tracker Isn’t the One I Expected

I visually inspect, physically compare, and dig into the published specifications and component data behind these two pocket-sized Meshtastic GPS trackers. We examine their nRF52840 processors, SX1262 versus LR1110 LoRa radios, GNSS hardware, integrated antennas, controls, magnetic charging, IP66 versus IP65 protection, 1,000 mAh versus 700 mAh batteries, expected runtime, and overall usability to explain which design makes more sense for off-grid location sharing, hiking, asset tracking, and everyday Meshtastic use.

Need Lower SWR? (Short #185)

@Mikewinter8238 wonders what he can do to lower his SWR on his Magnet Mount Wilson 500. Can you lower SWR on something already as big as it can be?
