The YouTubers Bunch
There is this rumour going around that 2,000W amplifiers are a total waste of time. You are missing a HUGE point. The ability to handle high levels of output without overheating needs thinking about. So why settle for a low-powered gear that melts under the stress of continuous-duty modes like FT8 or and RTTY? I happen to love my Acom 2000 for the durability and performance.
Will, W3UWU Designed This Amazing Telescopic Mast For Man Portable Ham Radio! Absolutely Brilliant!!

I’m going to issue a challenge to you – to US! How can Ham Radio be useful and relevant in the midst of a looming recession? What can we do TODAY to practice using our communications networks and frequencies?
In this video I will throw down a challenge, one that is a direct response to a typical comment that I have received in comments since this channel started 8 years ago. Watch this video and let me know your thoughts!
