Ham radio is a diverse hobby with endless possibilities to suite just about everybody’s interests. For example, many people enjoy taking there radio out in the field, referred to as “portable radio” or “portable ops”. Within that niche some like the solo adventure and some like a little company, or like me a mix of both depending on mood and circumstances. Something you don’t quite see every day is a husband and wife team out in the field together enjoying the hobby.
Join us for this episode of the “All Portable Discussion Zone” as we explore the idea of Ham Radio Couples and maybe find out how YOU can get your partner to join you in the ham radio hobby in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone “AP/DZ”.

Last weekend, as a matter of happenstance – Mike, K8MRD, was a guest on an impromptu Livestream that we ran from my Hamshack. It started late in the evening and got lots of watch time and views, so that tells me you, the viewer, liked it!
We’re gonna make a series of it and see where it goes. What do you think? Join us at 10pm CDT Friday night (03:00 UTC Saturday morning) for this new, joint adventure!

In this video I try doubling up my T50-43 toroid to see if I can squeeze 20 watts out for radios like the G90. I end up some interesting results!
