There was a lot of roll tide at the NG State Fair. Lol.

Amen brother!

Np prob just getting out of the 11 day fair as a vendor. Im seeing stars. Lpl

@@GiantSequoiaNation haha no worries man, thanks

All done. One is Amazon the other ebay. Thanks for asking!

You are very observant

Keeping the fam safe!

Y’all getting wet and wild? Stay safe!

@@rowboat27 Just how I like it! Lol. Thanks brother!

Because that's where I started cutting and ended at 95.5". Any other questions?

Many thanks brother. Tons of videos coming. Just gotta find the time. 73

That's what I was thinking as well, a base station. I was trying to build a base station antenna out of 5-102" whips. I just couldnt find a mount that could support the vertical and ground radials with 3/8x24 thread. I even reached out to a lathe to see if we could build one... so far no luck. Its just so easy to reach the roof of my car vs the roof of my house for these projects. It is fun to build these and test em out, to be honest. May i ask how you got the wire up in the air? And thank you very much for reaching out and hopefully being inspired to get back out in the workshop to keep the radio hobby alive.

Amen, brother! She puts up with a lot. And thank you. The next test will hopefully be twice as far. I'm trying to find mountains around the 30ish mile mark that I can drive up onto without much hassle. Standby!

Well where were you when I needed a copper antenna! I wouldn't have made one! Lol. Thats awesome you made them. I'd love to see pictures, videos details of how you made em. Im pribbaly going to tap and drill a set screw into the copper one next justvin case i wanna drive around with it a little, or maybe just stiffen it up. You should post a video and send to me. If possible. I have videos of me showing each one tuned individually. It was actually a lot of fun. You can go back in my mobile Playlist and see those if you'd like.

Roughly 220.

@GiantSequoiaNation Nice. I'm looking to set up a base station soon. Hoping to be able to reach my brother and a couple other contacts all 8-12 miles away. Moderate terrain. Hoping I can do it with around 100W and a solid antenna

@@one_eyed_pete2462 oh absolutely. 8-12 with a base station antenna. No sweat. I wish I had a bunch of family and friends within that radius. You could definitely talk all day. Best of luck. What's your 20?

@GiantSequoiaNation Southeast WI. I'm relatively new to the radio world but love learning the technical side of all this. Have a cheap Quansheng handheld I'm modifying right now. Still learning but loving it so far. Base station will probably be up and running next spring.

@one_eyed_pete2462 oh man. I bet it's beautiful out there. That's all I'm doing. I put up videos after some research and then a lot of people correct any of my mistakes then I make follow up videos fixing those issues and I keep on trucking! Lol. If your early in your journey i suggest you do the same. You will learn a lot in a short amount of time. Plus if you can ignore some of the rude ones and focus on the nice ones trying to help, its super rewarding.

Thanks, man. Yeah I have several videos for the 102 and a separate one when I made the 96 inch copper one, the 7ft skip shooter i also mentioned in another video how I had to swap out radios for some reason and then it magically tuned. So all three are amazing right now. And thank you again for the nice words. I am planning on doubling my distance next test. Standby.

@@GiantSequoiaNation Good morning. Have you found DXCommander, Farpoint Farms on UA-cam? The high quality bar for radio tuning would be LestersCustomTrkStop. He is the real deal an old US Navy RADAR guy with inventions. His turn around times are about 6-9 months. Be careful on who you let touch your radios. As a former OTR truck driver with an electronics degree. I have never had any radio service done in Georgia. I even saw guys near truck stops who would tune without even a O-scope or function meters. That is just bad and would let the smoke out of your radios.

@williamwoodham687 Yes, sir. I have watched both channels for many years. And I have been following Lester's as well for a couple of years. Its good to know that he gets good reports from other radio guys like yourself. My buddy Dallas i met here on YT always recommends a good tech look at the radio. In fact i think he may have mentioned his name as well. And he is also helping me by sending me some tuning equipment for my next antenna and base station project. I always appreciate the help and guidance from all you guys. Videos obviously to follow. And my buddy is currently an OTR trucker as well. He really enjoys the freedom, but says he can probably only do it for 5 more years. One of his main hubs in in Miami so he often drives through ATL and he can stop and visit here. In fact we went out to lunch and he let the fam climb up and check out his cab. Those trucks are so fancy inside nowadays!

Thanks man. I wish I knew this growing up!

Do you have any?

Someone already made something similar. ua-cam.com/video/yyfxinhOQxs/v-deo.htmlsi=mUblboJ7w7-_UHeo

After how many times? Because I've never seen or heard of anyone report they have.

Dude! I missed out this many years!

I have no clue what you're talking about. Lol

@@GiantSequoiaNation Watch the movie, "Bullet Train", it is worth it.

I was born here in the US and love this country. That's illegal today. Also... you think I don't own "actual" guns? Lol. 'MERICA! But every time I see an adult riding a bicycle I say the same thing. Hahah

@@GiantSequoiaNation LOL

Yes! I heard 3 in 1 gear oil and even Vicks work as well!

Yes! The warming sensation one may have some extra kick!

Hasn't failed anyone yet. Would you like to do the video testing this?

What a silly comment 🤣

Shaka laka!

You ain't wrong. I hope they are disbanded in the next presidential cycle.

@@GiantSequoiaNation Along with the FBI !!

@@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee I'd sign off on it today. Magic wand flick* NOW their all cops on the beat.

It's the simple things!

How did I NOT know this as a kid?!

Enjoy!

Many thanks. Subscribed to yours as well. I like that you give viewers a backdoor glance at the business practices for screen printing so we can make educated purchases in the future.

Thsnks. Im extremely pleased with that Stargun base. And Love them 102"s! Doesn't get any better looking imo. 73

West of Atlanta, GA. You?

@@GiantSequoiaNation South Africa

That's awesome. When I set up my Inverted-V for HAM, maybe I can hit you with radio contact!

Ideally. Yes. Im going to do that for my next vehicle. Flat top conversion van. I'll make a video of that one as well. I can't wait!

I have no idea, TBH.

@@GiantSequoiaNation Pick up the "ARRL" antenna handbook, a wealth of antenna Theory, you'll be glad you did!!

@@UDX4570PalmSprings-yh1mv I guess I should. You're not the first person to tell me to do just that. Thank you.

He don’t need anything but two rolls of mule tape , and give it a rattle can paint job , 4 coats ,, come on Erik !! Lol

I am sorry for not giving a "sexually explicit material" label on this post. I guess one might also label it NSFW. And your very welcome!

Hahah. Yeah sorry. I should have had that label at the beginning.

Why thank you!

Not many people rolling around with a copper pipe talking 11meters! Thanks brother!

You are!

Yeah. Dallas Rife sent me a sweet balun and that bad boy is going to be my inverted V. Gonna string that between 2 trees. I'm excited.

AURSINC Nano VNA off amazon. When I get home, I can put a link in the description. But I think many nano VNAs use the same basic platform. I'm sure they are all the same, as far as function.

@@GiantSequoiaNation Thank you for your Help Brian

Honestly because I want to be able to break it down and drive around with it in the back of the car and deploy it when I get somewhere on a mountain or stationary for a while. My next vehicle will be a flat top conversion van and a full 1/4 wave would def fit. I really hope you do and post a video. Let me know for real! I'm glad it may have inspired you to make one of your own!

Thanks a lot for following me! And yes, Dallas is such a stand-up guy. I got nothing but good things to say about him. Hopefully, I can absorb some of what he has in his brain. Lol. And I'm happy the UDX tribe is around as well!

You're the man. I have been riding solo for so many years with radio, I'm super grateful to have someone genuinely trying to help me. It's not lost on me brother! 73's

@@GiantSequoiaNation Don’t make me to be smarter than I am lol I’m learning something all the time , and only recently figured a few vital things , the basic things no one is teaching new guys Took me 25 years to find this information from people that knew . This hobby is much like the Bible ,, you never stop learning the more you dive into it and no one will ever understand it or know it all , if they tell you they do , they’re lying (John 8:44) lol And steer clear of their advise

@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee Amen, brother!

Thanks so much for reaching out. And yes Dallas is a great guy and speaks flvery highly of the UDX tribe. My cousin works for Lockheed in NJ and I have a bunch of older gentleman patients of mine here in GA that worked for the one here for 40 some odd years. Super cool. And I appreciate you sharing your years if experience and knowledge. I am following you back! 73!

Agreed. This onwards one of many videos of my mobile setup. Keep watching and you'll see I did a way more efficient route than even this video shows, and with wayyyyy more bonding. Thank you for your suggestion and 73!
