Looks like a great time. I operated 1B from 3200' in the Olympics with my 705 and an Elecraft KXPA100 into an off-center fed dipole. That's all I could carry on my motorcycle up there. 73 K9WWW

A roll of metallic cloth works better than ground radials for a portable qrp antenna still ground it to the soil. I still use an auto atu and check the antenna with vna

Thanks Guys!

Thank you rob a great video bill

I wasn’t at the Hamvention so I couldn’t submit my answer for what Icom is displaying in the perspex display. I say it’s either a IC-7800 series in SDR format, or a PC control SDR to compete with Flex and Anan…

Thanks for the video. I appreciate you recording it!

A great tribute to Dr. Bob Heil, by ICOM America. A class act.

Can you transmit with this open stub? I tried and the radio didn’t like it at all. Did I do something wrong?

George, surprised you don't have a tuned loop for the broadcast band. It's fairly easy to build. You could make a servo control to turn a variable cap much like your remote coax switch or use a couple varactors & vary their voltage, to get remote tuning & put the antenna outside. The 1690 towers you showed are the daytime ones. The nighttime array is just a stone's throw away from me.

Thanks for that segment George. Definitely need to purchase a SDR.

This was one of the most interesting show to date. I love chasing MW stations, and George's segments put this way over the top. Thanks for all you do!

Very interesting gentlemen

Just curious… When you were talking about solving the mystery on 640 kHz, it didn’t look like you had 640 kHz in Toronto as a possibility. I’m pretty sure it’s 50 kW by day and 25 kW at night.

For Mike... I think the addage "I have some swampland in Florida..." actually in the last 50 years referred to the land no one wanted but Disney bought and is still today making it pay quite nicely with Disney World... however DisneyWorld is no longer a good family oriented company!

WHO radio is a 50,000 watt blowtorch often heard on the coasts in the evenings. It's clear channel on 1040KHz. Really enjoyed the segment you provided George! as well as Tommy's, Mikes and the totally cool Rattlegram segment by Email.... er uh... Emile. 🙂

What app or web site were you using to get the transmitter info? Sorry if you mentioned it during the video, I kinda skipped through it 🫢

I have just about forgot what I knew about chasing airport NDB's but I think I used to hear some beacons a pretty good way's away. I discussed it was a tech that worked on the one at the airport I worked at. I can't remember if I heard it or he just told me about it but he gave the frequency for the one at Bimini. I think they were like everything else you needed the right band conditions. I could receive beacons 35-40 miles away on a regular basis. I will have to see if I can find my list.

Let us know if/when you've decoded the encoded Easter egg message in this video via accoustic coupling and Rattlegram.

Great radio..

Guys, fyi, I found a RS mini amplifier on ebay. Same model number. Great show! n5of

Thanks ...great show.

RIP Bob Heil. I learned so much from him.

Yup! Have one of those Shack Amps! Used it for audio signal tracing when I worked on commercial radio gear. I run the labels along the length of the cables and protect the label with clear heat shrink tubing. Works like a charm. The main reason why the Sharpie markers are no longer permanent ever since the went to alcohol based ink. When they used the old and now banned hydrocarbon based get high in the scent solvents there were never issues with fading. Tried one of the new UV markers, they are NOT permanent like the old Brinks UV markers. There is a ribbon within the label tape cartridge and it’s a thermal transfer ribbon. It’s best to print out a bunch of labels at a time and spacing the print by hitting the space bar about six times before entering the second title. You only waste a bit on the leading edge of the tape/shrink tube. If on worries about the print rubbing off just add some clear heat shrink over the first tube.

FYI, You can exchange your broken Craftsmen tools at Lowe's.

light is not a speed, just sayn its the maxium rate of induction of the medium.

Is the tail twister and a ham 5 the same inside

To all uk hams check the new amateur regulations now in force and do new mandatory emf assessments for each band or antenna in use now max tx power has increased for each licence class thanks for another great show guys de Pete G6NDH KG7CUW

The only time that I have seen black squirrels was when we walked around the perimeter fence of the White House. Over here in England we have too many greys and not enough (but increasing) reds. Bob Hope was born in South London I think. A good show as always. Thanks. 73 de Terry G0BIX

sorry unable to make the livestream, had a very busy day and was shattered so went to bed early

I’m telling you…the Squirrel to Wire Ratio should be on the Exams…

Great show. Thanks

Thank you for talking about my M5HamRadio project on M5Stack. That's very kind of you 😌 I'd like to add an information. No, it's not the same project as the one you saw in Dayton. I'm the first one, in 2019, who decide to develop cool stuff on M5Stack, for the Ham radio community. My project M5HamRadio is available for free, as you can see in the video. I'm not selling anything. I'm giving it to the community. The other project is a bad copy, sold at a high price and offering poor performance. Thank you again for this video and 73' de F4HWN Armel 🙏🏻

I really appreciate the HD Radio demonstration. HD Radio is definitely available in Canada. Here in the first half of 2024, the FM stations on Toronto’s CN Tower are finally migrating over to a new combiner/antenna to accommodate HD Radio. Other sites in the city (and many surrounding cities, for that matter) have supported HD radio for a number of years, but the CN Tower was a hold out. The pandemic delayed the combiner/antenna project.

I was waiting for one of them to yell "Shoot em!" but then I remembered it was the wrong show.

I still have my BITX-40 in the plastic.

Remember its got to be cheap otherwise spend it on a proper heil headset

I started to watch the pre show but I got tired, the shows start at 2am UK time and I'd been up since 5am, good show though as always

Good audio ad for Heil mics and headsets. George sounded good with the Heil mic. Sounds lousy with the cheap headset. I have a bunch of Heil mics and headsets. I have a $170 gamer headset for playing games and using with my KX-3. I bought another Heil headset for the KX-3 and am very happy with it. If I played games more I would use a Heil for that.

Nice video keeping up with the Christmas spirit, though I am viewing this just before the New Year! Hoping to get a new radio HF in 2024! 73 de VU2JO

I love the WII music!

Happy Christmas and New Year

Great Show Update. Purchased AURSINC MMDVM DUAL DUPLEX HAT and some AURSINC accessories on Amazon, all were packaged well and included necessary connections although plug and play for Raspberry Pi. I used old Raspbarry Pi 2, works like a charm. Thank You for inspiration.

Damn, if it creates that much waste heat, there has to be a whole lot of RF energy being pushed out at the transmitter site. Be some serious dxing if that were legal on vhf or even hf lol

More like a huge antenna switch box for switching between the 22 antennas used.

Merry Christmas to y'all. Thank you for another enjoyable year of ALTV. I wanted to buy some of the Hubigs pies online but George was so right - way spendy! Great segment on WPSD Emile! I had no idea that PiStar wasn't being supported as well as in the past. I have four PiStars that I think I will be changing over to WPSD. One suggestion I have is to look into using the Aursinc USB interface with an MMDVM and then control it with BlueDV. This would possibly be cheap ham certified since it's less cost! I've had a good experience with this mashup as a secondary interface for C4FM, DMR and DStar. 73 to all and to all a good QSO! //KK0DJ

Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings from W1CAH and K1MF! 🎄 My mother used to get "Red Rose" Tea when I was growing up in the 90s, so we had quite a few of those porcelain figures on the shelves that divided the kitchen and dining room.

Great Show ; ) Looking for cheap source for mmdvm dual hat and raspberry pi. Thank You

73 guys 🎉

Nothin' like a -=-=-=-=-:> killin' ho for Christmas! (Had to use some one line ASCII art there. lol)
