lonewolfhf is a channel dedicated to travel and radios. I have an amateur radio licence and enjoy taking myself out into the countryside in my free time and setting up radios, communicating with as many people as possible and lately recording my antics. Not every trip is successful but no matter what I do try to enjoy myself, its early days for the channel but I'm hoping you will appreciate the effort I put in.
My interest in radios began in the mid 80's with CB radio and walkie talkies, from there I joined the Armed Forces and worked in Radar then Combat Net Radio, eventually picked up my ham licence somewhere along the way.
My callsign is 2E0HKZ
I enjoy a modern take on radio ops and use data modes just as often as I do the mike, I think its important to embrace all aspects of the hobby so I'm trying to learn morse code with the LICW.

@@ct1gfk more than welcome 🤗
Thank You !!.. I had the same problem , This worked perfectly !!. Thanks again.
Long time admirer, second time commentator. What situations do you intend using this for?
@@matlutkinable 🤣 enhance the 360 camera on a stick, more hands free shots and rostrum camera. At least that is the idea, it’s not a full drone most actions are pre programmed although you can fly it manually. Battery life is limited to 10 minutes and it’s not gps. Fun though.
Hey one useful Tip from me...I run the Radiator Wire thru the Eye Lead and then zip tighten it with Cable Zip Ties or a stainless Wire Clamps. Everything else you did is fine. What is the Ratio of the Transformer / Balun you using? 73 de Uncle Günter 💯🙋♂
@@DK5ONV from memory this is a 49:1
4:1
Very beautiful. One effective Antenna that is not asking for too much of Space nor much of Height to perform well.
@@DK5ONV many thanks for watching
ive been using a 40m delta loop as an upside down with the 4;15ft off ground for 25 years but my latest one all home built mind you i tuned the twin 240/43 's with an analizer and found that at a full wave for 40 will work on 80m i use efhw for 40-10 @22m of wire will also do 80-10 but u have to tune the balun its not great on 80m ssb but i worked china on both at 10w on ft8 have fun try a mag loop too i built an 160-80m mag loop it works have fum Dylan m0dsy.
@@dbailey3024 I’ve often wondered how well it would do vertically
Ok as upside down triangle fed at the bottom just off gnd it has a 3db gain over a dipole and if u tune the balun with a analizer it will do 75m at about a 45% loss but great on ft8 the wark bands will need an internal atu to bring them inline but I tried a lot of antennas over the years but I allways go back to my delta as it works so well I talked to south caraliner us every day for the month I’ve done nz china ect I use a tuned efhw for portable so u can’t beat a resonant antenna the delta doesn’t need to be perfect triangle so will it work for u? U will have to experiment which is fun ,you won’t know until u try drop me an email and I’ll send you a link for how to make it better than a bought one and lighter /more invisible too
@comstationltd.340 as requested a 12 month review
Great 👍🏻 thanks for giving this 12 month review, i’ve used it on our facebook page for others to see your honest review of the delta loop 👍🏻
Nice summary Ed. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you for watching 👀
Awesome
Do you like this instruction format?
My X6100 connects to wifi fine, but for the life of me I can't get WFview to work properly. Most of the time it just completely fails to connect to the radio and on the rare occasions it does, it's unstable and not usable in any way. The VFO frequency may match or I get a broken snippet of audio playing from the computer, but nothing useful or consistent. FWIW, it behaves the same way via USB/serial port. I know the wifi is connected as I can update the clock via NIST. I can also connect to the radio fine with a terminal, browse the directory structure, etc. Using the latest firmware I'm aware of, App v1.1.7, Base v1.1.6. I rather like the radio, buggy and quirky as it is, but some things just flat out don't work. Glad I bought it cheap! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tnx es 73.
I gave up on wfview it wasn’t something I needed to use
Cheers and beers! Tactical beer coozy was my guess but your use is a near perfect fit!
Credit goes to David King from the Xiegu X6100 UK Users group for this original idea.
Drain holes in the bottom mean be careful in the rain. Otherwise, you did give me an idea for a different radio. Very good.
I'm all about the ideas, this one came from a facebook group and I thought it was worth sharing.
I just made the same discovery. It is a water bottle carrier. But works great for the x6100. I just need to find a efhw that will fit the pocket. Excellent presentation.
@@verdexj160I just recently built the k6ark qrp efhw kit that thing will fit anywhere
Love the 360 camera angle. Remarkably good low wind noise
Thank you, external mic on the 360 and sheer good luck on the iPhone camera ( because I left the mic adapter for that in my car)
But where does the kite go :P nice go kit
Windy enough for a kite to lift your dipole and feed line?
Really was, a kite would do really well down there!
@@lonewolfhamradio we were recently in Florida at the beach and I almost tried lifting a dipole with a kite
@@nehem11e I should try a kite 👍🏼
I an also a little worried about static charge building up and want to get the grounding right
The beach also has a lot more space provided you are not at a busy spot compare to the trail it looks you are in here.
Thanks for the contact QRP De Tony Gm1vla Qrp 3w 73
Looks like a lovely day to be out in the weather 😉Nice footage!

Minute 12:50 it's me. Deep QSB and no copy you anymore. Thanks fer video, 73 and all the best - CT1GFK
Thank you for hunting me, sorry I lost the contact- maybe next time 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing your POTA activation experience. Greetings from Katy, Texas. 🤝
Nice video. I'm using a Pi4 as a WSPR transmitter. It's amazing how well it works!
Did you say which software you used?
Great video Ed.
It’s beautiful there
Looks fantastic... 💯👌
Some mike shielding would make the audio a little less painful. X-6100 is a great rig.
I have to say that UA-cam has been on fire lately recommending new to me channels I might actually be interested in.
Nice video. 🤝 Hope the new Xiegu radio has 20-50w.
Thank you, the xiegu x6200 is specc’d at 8w maximum on the radiooddity website, it was 20w for a short time but it changed, certainly be nice to see it when it comes out though.
Sorry to see your mast cracked. 😮
It was inevitable, I stood on it a while ago. Just got a replacement section yesterday from the sotabeams shop so I’m ready to go now!
Nice location. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🤝 Operating QRP is always a fun challenge.
A bad days qrp is still better than a good day sat at home 😁
Excellent 73 de KF4LBG
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
It may be deserted but it's still very beautiful !
Nice job! Hello from the Central Coast of California! 73 de W6OBB
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great work!
I had a great day out ! I will sort my Mike out for next time
Drone shot?
Airwave?
need to boost the audio from your mic - great video though!!
Where did you get that whip?
It’s from M1ecc antennas. www.m1ecc-antennas.co.uk They do the whip, ground spike and radials.
Hello, I just received mine, and the audio quality from the speaker is rubbish. With external speaker, much better
Have you tried pressing the scan button? Cheers for the vid m8
I packed this, :) I want everything we sell to arrive in perfect condition 😄

While I do think the X6100 is a good POTA radio, the more exotic stuff is not so great. I was able to get both Wi-Fi and Ethernet working with Wfview. However, the Wifi reception of the X6100 is poor as so often noted. Unless you are sitting on top of your wireless router, I would not bother. The setup process is also weird as you have to fill in an unused IP address or it will just keep claiming it is connected as an IP address which is not reachable on my network. Definitely another Xiegu bug. Ethernet with an ethernet USB dongle works but the results I got were quirky. The streamed audio would just quit after a while. Restarting Wfview would bring it back. Not sure if this is the X6100 or Wfview. Latency would start off very low and then after a while jump higher. Again, a reset of Wfview fixed this. I was interested in using Wfview to set up CW messages and this works just fine but a standard USB keyboard will do this with a USB A to USB C adapter so using WFview is not justified IMHO. I also wanted to use Wfview to send the messages and as a CW typewriter but could not get it to key the radio. Again, no idea if this is the X6100 or Wfview. It also could be a setting I missed but I tried everything I could think of with no luck. Hope your luck is better.
Cw is your friend in these conditions. Digital ops even. My SSB luck changed when I got a rig that could do 20 watts. Thanks for sharing. If I ever get one contact, I personally consider that a successful activation. Even if it’s POTA. 73’s de n5vwn
