Summits on the Air Expedition with the King Air

Summits on the Air Expedition with the King Air

My friend Brian Betz W7JET invited me to join him in the co-pilot seat to do a Summits on the Air activation near Show Low, Arizona. We flew to Show Low early in the morning, hopped into the xTerra at the airport, stopped for breakfast and then hiked Saint Peter’s Dome. This 10-Point summit is a really steep cinder cone covered with pines. After the activation, we sauntered to lunch and then back to the airport. What a way to do SOTA! Conditions were great and we both enjoyed the time on the air with our ham radios.

How to Make Your Radio Louder and BE HEARD

How to Make Your Radio Louder and BE HEARD


You don’t need to be technical to make this work. This is not a technical solution, this is about how to manage your power output on SSB. Works less well on FM and AM but the concepts are the same. I talk about compression and how to modulate your SSB signal better to cut through the pile-ups and get your station heard. Callum.

A Super Cheap GPS Receiver Kit – QLG2 from QRP Labs

A Super Cheap GPS Receiver Kit - QLG2 from QRP Labs

I got this awesome little GPS receiver kit recently. You could use this in a heap of different applications.

It has Multi GNSS satellite constellation receiver support, comes with an active antenna with 2m of coax and a Serial to USB converter.

QLG2 GPS receiver👉 https://qrp-labs.com/qlg2.html
BG7TBL 10 MHz GPSDO 👉 https://youtu.be/EgF6-JbGUXA?si=jfrU4snen3Xg9zOO
*Note the BG7TBL doesn’t support GNSS support, or a few other functions that the QLG2 does*. Basic NMEA data and 1PPS is supported however.

Private Note to my QRM Station

Private Note to my QRM Station


We have had three stations that QRM me. We have used KiwiSDR to track down two of them. This station is the newer one and we are close to tracking him down too.. I would prefer that we didn’t have to try. Anyway, I say it all in the video. I’m not angry, I just want to understand him and help him out. PS – When I say "we", I refer to an Army of volunteer folks and local clubs who help me out with the DF problem and intelligence. Thanks. Callum.

HRN 499: K1N Navassa: The Movie (coming to YouTube)
Another EARLY SHOW – 6:30pm Eastern

Back in 2015, Bob Allphin K4UEE led an intrepid band of DXedrs on a mission to activate the Most Needed DX entity (second only to North Korea) – Navassa Island. As usual, Bob documented the trip on video. But the guy who had edited most of Bob’s previous documentaries had retired, so he hired HamRadioNow’s Gary K4AAQ to cut the show together. Gary also provided the voiceover narration, interspersed with Bob’s on-camera narration.

The DVD sold pretty well. Lots of hams have seen it at club meetings. But lots of hams haven’t. And DVD sales have slowed to a trickle… well, it’s been 8 years. So Bob and Gary talked about it, and decided to put the documentary on YouTube — free to watch. We’ll turn on access to the documentary during this show.

Bob joins us on this episode to talk about the show, memories of the DXpedition, and a special ‘inventory clearance’ offer of the DVDs of the three DXpeditions still on his shelves.

If you DON’T use the Standard Phonetic Spelling Alphabet

If you DON'T use the Standard Phonetic Spelling Alphabet


Sometimes I quite like non-standard phonetics, for instance "Suga-Papa" (Poland) and "George Four XYZ" for an older UK callsign, it’s important we recognise when and when NOT to deviate from the standards. See what you think anyway. I know this isn’t set in stone, but this video is for just some guidance that newbies might find helpful. If you follow the "rules" I find that it also helps me when I’m "in the chair" running a pile-up. Callum.

Link: Here’s the "official" one that seems to work for me. You might know of a better one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet
