Oops – a streaming config ‘error’ led to fuzzy video. I’ve uploaded a better version:
HRN 481 PROMO My GENIUS Plan for 60 Meters PROMO
Gary’s got it all figured out for the 60 meter band. In this episode, he will explain.
Homework: if you have a few hours idle time, go look at HRN 132: My STUPID Plan for 60 Meters (Parts One and Two)
Or maybe our whole 60 Meter HRN Playlist:

In this video there was a nice 6 meter opening. At the moment I only have 10 watts on 6m but a nice DIY LFA Yagi 5 elements. It’s all about your antenna!
The video was bad in the live show – here’s a replacement. (I fixed the problem, I think, for the next live show)

This is a Plano 1444 tackle box (link below) that I take on most all of my portable activations. It’s filled with a whole bunch of crap I have needed over the years. Do I still need a lot of this stuff? Nope. But it’s still in my box.
