Comment on Millennials Are Killing Ham Radio by Peter

I grew up right before Algore invented the internet and I had a lot of fun with CB radio and packet radio. 5 years later it’s all gone because you can do the same thing and better over the internet. I can only suspect the same thing will happen with amateur radio. Who wants to string up a long cable from tree to tree and buy a bunch of ancient equipment if they can download an app that will do the same thing. probably very few people. enjoy the hobby while there are still remnants of it, pretty soon it will be nothing but static and maybe a little interference from 5G towers 😛

How to build an 80m Dipole with leftover DX Commander Parts

How to build an 80m Dipole with leftover DX Commander Parts

A long time ago… a very long time ago now… TheSmokinApe sent over a 3d printed dipole kit and I never had a chance to put it together until now. Combining that with some left over DX Commander parts, I’ve got a working Dipole for the upper part of the 80m band.

I’ll use this antenna for the upcoming Wisconsin QSO Party.

The DX Commander Instructions say to cut the 80m element for 19.5m. I matched the other side with another 19.5m of DX Commander wire. This came out fairly well for the lower part of the band. 1.5:1 at around 3.5MHz if I recall, but you’ll see it in the video. From there I folded it back for a broad match at the upper end of the band where voice comms live.
