I shot this for N4UJW at Hamuniverse.com. It’s a better quality video of my HF antenna setup, with Ugly Balun as described at that site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt-qMoHAbIQ Hopefully, he either adds the video to his site or at least links to this blog posting.

We have severe weather coming this way. So, I am in Skywarn mode here. If you do not know what Skywarn is, please go here and check it out. Should be an interesting evening. To take a look at what’s happening and what’s coming go here to look at the national weather service radar. Wish
Boy did I pull a bonehead move yesterday. In this video, I mistakenly say that N8QGC bought this mic for me. He didn’t. I bought the mic from him for $50.00. I made an oopsie. 🙄

Usually, at night this is where I am found. Best part of Amateur Radio…. Life is good. 🙂
This was supposed to be a private video for a friend of mine, Mark, WQ8S. But, Mark said it wouldn’t load for him. So, I am posting it here. All of this below is very true. Warning: Language! and much truth telling: http://youtu.be/f7KxQu7BEfc
I’m dictating this from my cell phone, so if it comes out looking a little funny that’s why. As you can see from the photo captured above, 20 meters is not in good shape I’m running psk31 and it just is not doing too good. I worked two stations so far, probably about 150 miles
I picked up a new — well, new to me — microphone for the shack here. The reason why I have gotten this thing is because my MC-80 microphone basically is 14 years old and starting to show it. Not to mention the fact that the audio on it, is just not that great. It
