Antenna Check - Bad Wind Storm? #HamDiaries
Переглядів 194 години тому
A few days ago, our area was hit by a mighty windstorm that howled through the streets, bending trees and rattling windows. Before I got too caught up in the aftermath, I needed to check on my precious wire antenna. It's the only one I have, and I knew it could easily have been affected by those fierce gusts. I just hoped it was still standing strong amidst all the chaos. #Hamdiaries Support th...

Antennas to Adapters Unlocking the Secrets of OHIS with Mark Halibut
Paul I agree with you on many of your points in this video but I don’t agree that trump is the right person for the presidency. If he is such a good businessman as you have said why has he filed for bankruptcy so many times and why has he had so many failed businesses? Our country is not a business and it can’t be run like a business. I agree that there are many freedoms we as Americans enjoy that people in other countries don’t and one of those freedoms is that you and I can have this discussion.
Paul is looking a little green in this episode 🤢
ha! he's trying to match Kermit's energy!
I have an 8 bay Synology NAS with a 10gig connection to my computer. The nas drives can be upgraded as you can afford to buy bigger drives. I have 4 20 tb drives and a few 6tb and 4 tb drives in mine.
sounds like a great setup. I run a TruNAS and have extra bays. Might upgrade it to the UnifiNAS as I'm already drinking the cool aide with network gear :)
I know where Opelika is. Hi neighbor, Somerville here. Great show
Thanks appreciate you giving us a listen!
Damn, this is GREAT! Good luck with the books! That's something which is desperately needed.
100% Agree. Glad Kermit is filling that need!
CFR 47 Part 97.3 Encouragement and improvement of the amateur service through rules which provide for advancing skills in both the communication and technical phases of the art. Yeah... I said it! 😊
and I read it... but I'm still an appliance operator and proud!
🤣😂🤣🤣😂 I do not just wear the minimum amount of flair I go wild and really like to express myself 🤣😂🤣😂 Great show guys haha
the two same keys are are hooked to the all mode icon 2meter and the DX-10 one for each radio
Love that!
And then I got my DX-10 😂😜😜😜 STILL LOVE IT
and we love you Tim! Yaesu forever!
Put the older gas in your car! Adding 1 or 5 gallons to 20 gallons in your car tank will be fine. I haven’t had a problem yet. Thanks for the videos.
yup.. Usually once a season dump the 5 Gal in the tank and pickup fresh gas! Thanks for subscribing!
NB9D was here
Hey Neal! Thanks for Checking out the Pod/Channel!
I like Paul's sentiment about keeping it simple.. 👍
Yup its a great stance to live buy.. why muddy the waters with stuff that makes it harder to play radio!
Eric took the class C road to New Boston 😂😂😂 oops
HaHa... Yup it was fall and the weather was in the 60s so we did some "leaf peeping" before we arrived at NearFest
During the 6 meter net I had to call you Eric lol😂
True that!
😮 SNAFU 😮 SNAFU 😮
Nope its all planned... :)
all the cool kids have the cool call signs on the bottom row LOL you top row folks need to work on that LOL :)
gotta luv nerd tux and moo LOL :)
Mike we'll get right on that!
it has a ring to that doesn't it?
Interesting convo!! Sending hellos from up here in NH
Thanks! There is always lively conversation on our discord from our shows. Link is on livefreeandham.com
I think Todd’s analogy of RC flying misses the fact that actual flying has gone the same way. Starting with fighters then commercial airlines are all run by computers… it’s not the actual physical input of the pilot in those planes anymore. I do agree with both Todd and Eric about being able to choose. I love my Flex but also enjoy my 891
Yup choice is important. As either way in the end your going to want to play HF so no matter your taste bottom line is RF is what really matters!
You have it backwards! Ford and Tesla took the AM radio out of cars because THE CAR was the problem! It's RFI from the car that was making the radio not useable. if the car puts out that much interference, it's probably not legal under Friendly Candy Company rules i would think. But $$ talks after all!
Robbie, Agree newer electric and even some gas vehicles have bad RFI issues. I know that when I finally complete my HF Mobile install in my Ram that I am going to still be fighting some RFI noise on HF.
I might have watched it if you used a proper antenna in the photo.
Even if you dislike the thumbnail, you might enjoy the show. Thanks for letting us know you came by!
An hour to say "Wow this would be cool"
Well some of us take a while to get to the point :) if you thought that was long you should listen to a HRCC episode ;)
@@LiveFreeandHam can't stand hrcc luv u guys.
VA3MW has already done this, operating his home station via remote in his car. Ping him. -de NI0K
Ill keep running my older 1990's Isuzu NPR heavy duty running UHF/UHF, HF, CB, Mp3 player, GMRS and Scanner in my truck. 73, kq4hcu
N1OG here, I'm with you. I've got an 07 Tundra and I'm not sure I'd want anything newer!
You guys do a great job. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
You guys do a great job. Thank you!
Thank you too!
Keying above 40Watts causes my wipers to operate and my infotainment system to reboot. It hates any RF.
Ouch. That's rough. Ferrites on everything!
Satnoggs too!!!
Eggnogs and satnogs sounds like grandma's getting drunk at Christmas! Lol
Woooooo!!!!!!!Eggnoggs rocks !!!!
Glad you liked the Live Stream!
Wooooo 🎉! Can't wait for Mark!!!
Heeeeeeeellllllllllloooooooooooooooo dooooowwwwwnnnnnnn thhhhhheeeerrrreeeee :) I love it!!!!!
Shocking Todd that is just Shocking
Yes be nice!!!
Are you trying to contact aliens? haha :)

Interesting topic for the show.. I listened to the replay while on the road.. Thanks for sharing your experiences with LIDs.. I've had my run in's with a few as well.. I was calling CQ while exercising (Pedal Power) one morning and a "Water Way net" came on to take my frequency.. Said they had been on the freq for 30 years (seems to be the standard time for Nets).. I was about to finish anyway so I QRT.. but after doing some research, I found they get on the air 45 minutes before the net starts and start talking to "hold the frequency" for when the net starts.. They didn't need it for another 45 minutes, but I was interrupting their "pre-net frequency hoarding" discussion time, LOL.. Also, thanks for the shout out Todd.. That was very nice of you to mention.. I knew we both had an interest in another hobby so I sent you the email.. Keep up the great work guys !!..
Kevin, I totally get that. Its insane how folks will do anything to treat HF frequencies as "repeater nets". The "old mentality" has to be broken and the dawn of improved radio equipment allow us to "move frequencies" without too much effort. I love the new channel - even though I got out of RC years ago. Keep up the great work and look forward to the future videos.
Bands can be dead for awhile, and someone starts calling pota. You can watch people move right in beside you qrm ing. It's really disgusting that people do that.
Yea sometimes its unavoidable as the Propagation can be just static and you can't hear any stations and then BAM! another POTA Activator is on top of you calling CQ POTA.
I hope Paul feels better soon.. The show must Go on.. I like Todd shirt too very funny haha nice show you guys. ✌️
Yup.. Magically he recovered and is back in the saddle.
Good discussion guys 😎
Thanks for listening @kc1qdk
This was a great conversation, and there is ALWAYS more to learn.
really I thought I was in the period of my life I knew everything ;)
Great discussion guys, looking forward to my first field day. Just joined a local club in Fort Worth and got involved with build-a-thons and getting my first contact on HF. Brand new licensed ham, got both technician and general at the same test day.
Rodney, That is AWESOME! Love it when folks can get connected up with local clubs. Hopefully your field day was a great first time experience and congrats on your Technician and General on the same day!
I’m not sure when I subscribed to yall but great show thanks for the channel 73 KJ5CTS
James, no problem. Glad your enjoying the channel/pod. 73! LFH
I had to stop back and watch the beginning of the show.. Thanks for the invite.. I enjoyed stopping by for a visit with all our ham friends.. Carlos explaining what a Kilo was to his mom was too much, LMAO !!.. Keep up the great work guys and looking forward to the next year of fun !.. 73, kevin ~ k0klb
Kevin, always glad to have you on! Thanks for coming on the Live Stream!
Do I really need my extra license? Why? N1OG got a good toke! Ha!
You don't but if you want to be able to "Get all the Good contacts" Extra is the way to go!
Sorry I couldn't be there!
No problem. Carlos was a great guest!
Also do not pick on Todd he is my General bro...:)
Roger that!
Awesome job as always guys :)
Thanks for sharing!!
Ha ha. Episode released after the live stream with Jeramy. This was a great conversation!
Loved it! A lot of awesome stuff packed in this one episode!
Good Job Todd!!! If I don't know the answer I choose the longest one 😅
Yup.. or just close your eyes and point to one, that always works for me!
I missed it again! Although... I did manage to activate the PA Grand Canyon on Saturday.
That's a fair trade-off I'd say! We'll in the future make sure you hit that notification so you get reminded when we go live! As in April were going to have an awesome guest on from the far north to talk about POTA!
