First look at the FX-4CR 20w QRP from BG2FX.com – this is a neat little radio with a built-in soundcard, which makes it easy to connect to a computer and run FT8. Also with Bluetooth! Let’s take a tour with the radio today, and expect to see some POTA videos with it soon.

Today we’re going to play around with All Plot – This uses the ALL.TXT from your WSJT-X setup to determine lots of details about your antenna. As always, we’ll be trying this out completely cold and learning together – so get your computer ready to do some python today and let’s do this!

In this video I look into trying to get the SWR better by installing a tiger tail to my IC705.
Don’t get me wrong the signal stick is totally usable but I thought the SWR would have been better.
SWR isn’t everything but I don’t want it so high that it hurts my radios, so I want to do some receive testing with these antennas and a couple others I have later.
Its POTA Support your Parks Plaque Event 2023. I go to K-3051 Lake Ray Roberts for some Radio fun and hanging out with some friends. Oh Yes and some radios too.

Kind of a light week, news-wise. But minutes ago, the Q-Mobile was feaured in a Facebook Group that makes fun of poorly done (SH*T) radio installations. It was only a matter of time.

Pecron sent me a Solar Generator Power Station for a video review. Overall, I like it! I took it out to the field to test it for RFI from the wide-band receiver on the Icom IC-705. The results were somewhat what you’d expect, but better than most! Check out this video and let me know your thoughts…

A Ham Radio Operator in California has been threatened with a fine of $24,000 for interfering with a Net on 80-meters by playing music and not IDing properly on the air.
