Great video! I look forward to getting more involved!

Excellent talk!

Are these in Magnetic or True for 45 degrees and 150 degrees?

Fantastic presentation! Very informative. 73

Can't hear what you are saying. Audio terrible.

Trying to get a grasp on DMR. Can you go to any frequency? I know TX will be limited to radio hardware but can DMR's listen up to the 900 Mhz range?

Will this work for tuning a self made 1/4 wave 1090mHz for ADS-B plane spotting?

Great video. Thanks for the primer on the Nano VNA.

Doug, you speak well and had a very nice presentation. Thank you!

Excellent presentation. Some great wisdom gems from a guy who is really at the top of that game. Congrats on your 2021 Florida record, Jim. See you on the air. 73 - N5OT

Excellent explanation of the OCFD, my main QTH antenna. At school, the x-axis went left to right, and the y-axis went up and down. I'm in the UK. Thank you for the presentation.

Great introduction in plain language and several good stories. I'm from Chicago southwest, and EMI/RFI is rampant in the area.

Awesome video. Incredibly informative.

FRS is license by rule not a paid service or a lifetime license as was stated.

Dear sir, thank you for this video. I have been very interested in OCF antennas, making them in particular. Your presentation was helpful. It is embarrassing that the ham world has its share of negative commenters. Please ignore their sad efforts. Best wishes from S.E.Tennessee, 73 KQ4IXD

Most catalog items I have seen are very very bandwidth intensive, need some text based info

Here's a shocker. If you want true NVIS your antenna will be below 10 feet. Been doing this many years. We don't care about gain. We don't care about signal strength. What we care about is if the intended recipient can copy us. Low antenna is difficult to DF. Low antenna is down out of the noise. And we run them QRP.

Audio is horrible. Yes

One question I have that was not addressed; the "Do not go inside a residence..." caution, but then the FCC instructs a licensee to make contact and go into the residence. The implication is [I think] that the FCC has gave him the authority as an implied agent of the Fed/FCC to do so. Does the FCC have the legal authority to "deputize" a licenses? I wonder if statute or case law has ever addressed the potential personal civil liability of this? Being an FCC employee is one thing but a licensee allegedly [now] having the authority to further track down the cause by entering the premises and doing further testing is another. Great presentation, all hams, especially new licensees, should watch this so they will have an idea of how to approach this if and when they encounter it.

Bad distorted audio :(

I have Inverted L antenna, 40 ft wide 20 ft high , 1/4 at 3.5MHz, and counter poise . it work pretty Good NVIS antenna, lousy DX antenna. AG6JU

Thank you, Scott. I've lived by there (Tulalip Indian Reservation) for the last twenty years. When driving east on Marine Dr one can see the blinking FAA lights of the towers. It took me a while to realize what I was looking at since we don't have any windfarms nearby.

Great video! I've been using a Chameleon Emcomm III 130' in a NVIS config. 10' horizontal off the ground. Had a nice JS8Call conversation with another ham in Germany this week. Im in southern NH and have pretty solid coverage all the way to the Mississippi river per psk reporter.

I have the 25' Chameleon mast on the front hitch receiver of my truck. Works great and is very mobile! Works on the rear receiver hitch also, of course, but I have to use a hitch extension.

Very good presentation

This is SO GOOD!

40 years ago at the old QTH i had problems with neighbours both next door and three doors away. 100 Watts and a long wire. I sorted one with a simple braid breaker on his t.v., the other with a ferrite ring partially sorted it and a t.v. engineer came round and said there's only a problem when I transmit. Great! He had no idea what to do. Both three doors away had problems with t.v. and hi-fi. I called the G.P.O. and he gave me the all clear and went to the neighbours to explain. They still complained, even coming round when I was asleep in a chair. Badly made equipment. 33 years here and not one complaint, 5 Watts, nobody has asked what the wires are in my garden. Now get S8 noise 160 to 20m from broadband which I hope will disappear as fibre replaces wire. G4GHB.

Great presentation but wish you spent more time on the slides so we can read them. Can we get a copy of the slides?

Ignore the trolls. Great video. Thanks for posting. You are an excellent speaker. I'm glad I watched! 73, N4MJR

It's "Common Mode Current", not common current that flows on the outside of the shield. Then there is differential mode current that flows on the center conductor and the inside of the shield.

very well done on the grounding and lightning protection. Nice setup

the tab idea is a cool idea im gonna steal LOL :) Thanks for sharing your shack very well designed and setup.

SUPERB!

Thanks for your ham oriented presentation

Just saw this I was wondering can you operate n-scale kato switches using the 8 Channel Anderson Powerpole Connector Power Splitter Distributor Source Strip, with 8 Independent Control Switches

Nice video

Thanks for the information ,Nano VNA is rich in possibilities and in the same time a cheap instrument that is very helpful. Well if I had such a " toy" 50 years earlier...🤔

Thanks for this very well made and presented video. It's a good taster on the basics and intro into exploring the Nano VNA further.

We’ll done, Hoop!

Outstanding presentation! Thanks/73 from NW Arkansas, de K5XK

Dx at 30 degrees? Ok there bud.

So hard to find what radio equipment is being used. Recommended gear

Excellent presentation!

This is awesome, thank you so much. I have broad band noise on 40 and 20 at my home QTH that was s5-7 6 months ago and is s9+5 now. Also seems to be over a very large area, unaffected by weather, but slightly more intense later in the day, so I will be employing some of these tactics and try to hunt it down. Thank you for taking the time to share this presentation. I will be sharing this with our local club W3RRR Thanks and 73 Matt W3MMW

unfortunately I have a metal roof. I do like that attic antennas have no wind load comment though.

One of the best explanations as to what all those buttons and knobs do on my radio. When I became a new general I wish I had this video back then. Im an extra now and just had to learn the hard way. Thanks for sharing this. Will definitely show new hams about this.

thanks for posting these amazing talk. I have a square d product on my house fuse box. Its a large white box outside the fuse panel that connects direct.

Congratulations! Quite an accomplishment.

Hi Cliff, Shack in an upstairs bedroom, Hustler 6BTV fed with coax in the back yard, QRP with a KX2...... Also Sotabeams dipoles for /P work.... Regards, Bill G7PVZ

Looks like you’re nice and cozy in that room. For being off the air for so long and then getting back on you sure fell for it again! Great job and thanks for the video!! 👍👍👍🇨🇱😎 w5pn
