Welcome to HAMLIFE with 2E1TAP,
A channel for everything to do with my Ham Radio Life. I will be covering a wide range of topics including shack setups, antenna builds, radio choice, making contact over the air, QSO's, Call logging and even maybe a bit of contesting.
The channel will also go live from time to time on both here and TikTok.
I hope you enjoy the channel,
Maybe give me a like, and maybe even subscribe to keep up to date with my latest posts and Live Streams.
Enjoy the radio and good Dxing
73 for now

MA5B STRIPDOWN & HEX BEAM INSTALL
I decided on upgrading my antenna from the cushcraft MA5B to a Hex Beam. I did the vast majority of this on my own, and only required a lift from some great Club members with the Hex.

An update to the software has been released, and this is me live using it. Bands are closed to uk (me at least) so is kind of a bad evening to test

I found a way to hopefully give you all a clearer audio recording of both Radio with DNR and with AI filtering. I will be doing a further update as and when I get my personal filter from RM Noise

I found this AI Noise reduction through a friend G0AZE, and it is very good. I recomend everyone try this before dismissing it

How to save money heating your hot tub
Loved it first cite when I got my first icom 7300 months after I got another one
Hi guys I'm trying to tune my ma5b and I'm struggling could anyone help me please I've followed the manual but still getting high swr
Also, your tune is kind of great, better than the 90 kHz bandwidth than claimed on 20. Curious, when I bought mine 10 years ago, it shipped with the wrong hardware if you can believe it. The u-bolts were a size too small. They had a LOT of QC issues 10 yrs ago. Did you run into any problems?
Assume you use it for FT8 at 14.070, 3:1 SWR. With a tuner. You're losing 25% ERP. So instead of 3.6 dB, you're getting 2.7 dB; and a dipole is 2.1 dB. At first, this looks kind of disappointing; and no doubt about it, it is. But, then consider the FTB of 20+dB. The noise floor drops by 3 bars on the S-meter from everything else except what your pointing at, and you still get a 70% increase in ERP with 2.7 db. Its still a win. I had one up for years until a tree took it out. Except for the fact they've doubled in price since 2012, its still a great deal. A beam, not a rig, makes your shack next level.
How much your keyboard cost? i want one.
Love my hex , even at just 10ft high it works

i have made my own for my endfed and cobweb which does a good job but i heared of one which im getting tomorrow so ill let you know what its like tappy its the yagi antennas one or yagi beams
hi i have the same cobweb as you and im thinking about getting a ma5b what do you think of them
CQ CQ CQ CQ 2E 0 SJAK
lol it's bliss in the summer mate 😂 radio and beers
Now that’s a shack lol…my wife wouldn’t see me if I had that place…73 2E0IKM Mike
great video mate ill have to build one of them double bazookas it looks easy anough its just coax folded back isn,t it , is eack leg of the bazooka 33ft each leg with the folded back coax ill have alook on youtube to look how big it is but yes im luvin my cobweb i know you have a hexbeam now havn,t you 73 from m7byf ste in skem
how Iambic of you
i built the same antenna over 10 years ago she is still up and in good working order, feed point is about 1 foot above ground and i only use 2 ground rods and once i trimmed antenna to get a good swr starting from the 40m side then you then tune the 80m side, once thats done then add your 80m trap then trim that for good swr on 160. You do get other bands thrown in to but i found once i added 80m trap for top band then i did loose some of the other bands but the tuner soon sorted that out. Fantastic antenna.

Thx for the comment Jason, and yes it's a good antenna for the real estate it takes up. Look forward to chatting on the bands mate. Tappy
Happy New Year mate, enjoy the baby sitting :)
Cheers Stu lol
hi i have just made a multi band delta loop and its only about 8ft off the ground on my two 10m poles and the swr is 1.0 on 20m 2.1 on 17m and 1.5 on 15m 12 and 1.0 on 10m and i cut it from 76ft to 68ft and just need to put it on my two 7m poles i have and if its a little to long to fit on the poles i will wind it down the poles so ill let you know how i get on from m7byf
Good luck mate, it's fun playing with antennas lol. But I must admit I'm a cold arse these days, so warmer weather needed for me now. Have fun buddy
Yes it is, done it since my teens putting 11m yagì,s up and messing with swl antennas in my teens like yourself 😊and I'm still learning. The hobbies come along way even the last 10 15 yrs
Great video. Can I ask the article you were working from. Do you have a link to the article?
I'm not at the club now till new year, so can't check, but I'm sure in the video there is the guys call sign on the paper work. If not I'll post a link once I get the info when back at the club. Thanks for the watch, merry Christmas

Likewise mate, thx for the view
Pretty amazing 😲
It's a good bit of kit mate even if got no noise. Thx for the watch, appreciated 👍
it sucks for me to have a slow processing speed and not be able to read what this says before it moves to the next letter
And you are turning DNR off when using the AI?
Yes, otherwise you won't see the full benefit of the AI. Once you get used to it, experiment with DNR on
Can I just check, the headphone out from my FTDX10 should be connected to mic input on my PC? Is that right?
Why do you keep just doing CZ CZ CZ CZ?
CQ CQ CQ then his station numbers and letters.
Always send DE after CQ before your call sign 👍
I see you have it reversed from the norm .dits are usually on the left ( thumb)
Like lufc cup👍
Name that tune!?
I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now. It works so well that I cannot tolerate to use my radio without it. The only drawback I have noticed so far is that very very weak signals get clipped or completely cut off, so you have to adjust the slider when hunting weak signals. It may also be due to the fact that the app needs more use so that it better learns my noise, as is stated in the user guide, it takes a few days of use to get really good. In any case, I’m already very happy with it.
Hm cw Me : CZ CZ CZ
Could you put a 1/2 wave vertical above it for say 10 m or 11 m CB
I have never tried, but I would say is possible. Trial and error my friend
I think I saw in the instructions that you should turn off DNR and NB before you send the audio to the server. Thanks for posting this video - I picked up a few things from it that I didn't see before.
Yes before submitting the recording make sure nb etc are off
Awsome built 💯👌
That's a very high noise you get there on the dx10 for me it's signal 3 the dx10 cleans it up for me by it's self
Just downloaded it Tappy, be interesting to see how it performs once I've got the login.
Yeah, and the more that submit recordings of noise, the better it will get. Hope it works for you john
Listening back to myself on your stream my audio was flat. Turns out I'd inadvertently turned off the mic eq. Might not of noticed for quite sometime if hadn't been on.
What about the SWR on the higher bands? And what type of balun ratio did you use? Thanks
Hi mate, see my 40m delta loop build for info. 73
Ever consider some plugging in some attenuation, with your S9 of noise over loading your AGC! That would wreck my head.
Thanks for the kind advice, however I never use att as the noise reduced is equal to signal drop. Swings and roundabouts buddy
SCAM 12?
Great night mate...Rich M0RKK
Good fun Rich, thx for joining me
Nice video just what I was looking for. How does the the double bazooka compare to the cobweb
The cobweb works great but does not cover 40m band. The bazzoka is made for 40m and works superb.
How to get this box?THX.
How did you guys learn procedures and such? I learnt CW from this Morsemania app, really nice IMO, but when joining chat rooms we just sent like usual chat rooms (so like a casual discord convo but in morse) but then I see everyone following a protocol on actual comms, where can I find a guide on that?
-. .. -.-. . .- .- .--. -... .-. ---
ME TOO. I love that app, but I'm tired of trying to be accurate keying on a that disc. Just got my first key minutes ago; a Putikeeg Paddle. Trying to figure out how to start using it through my computer thru my audio interface, until my MX-K2 arrives. I've seen a lot of Demo's on youtube for protocol. Look for "POTA activation". I'm not quite ready for that, but it should help you instructions.
Brilliant
ppl who play fnf be like: this is a banger song!
Thanks for the video. I was wondering whether I could get a copy of the spec sheet so I can build one myself. Any chance? 73 de M6JOO
It is too short not too long.Nice antenna anyway,congrats,hope ho hear you some day.73 rom Romania
