Amateur Radio Tilt Over Tower VA3KBC
Keep the videos coming :)
Good stuff!
Thanks for livestreaming the net DJ! 73 sir!
I've never seen a digital rendering of a cross-hair meter. Interesting. Also nice for analog and bar graph meters. Someday I'll get up to a SDR transceiver. Then I'd REALLY clutter up the screen.
A now SK local ham had a really neat tilt tower he got years ago. Its called a Buckeye windmill tower as it tilts at the top and the tilt part resembles a windmill of sorts.

Love to see the Tuner that tunes that great Antenna
Apex is about 58’
East coast? I got the G2 with plug ins.
Dj, the db numbers on the left side of your panadapter. Right click on them and hold it and drag it up so you can see the bottom of your spectrum.
I’ve wondered about this kind of setup. I’ve only seen them tilt at the very bottom but that won’t work in my application.
Your welcome to look at my QRZ site. There are some pictures of the fabrication of the 48' Delhi tower and how we made it into a fold over. www.qrz.com/db/va3kbc
@@va3kbc I will take a look. I only have about 20 feet of my 50 up because I have to climb and do my install, and I’m not even a novice when it comes to tower climbing so I didn’t want to climb any higher. Plus I already get nervous enough when I’m up that high haha. I don’t have enough room to lay the whole tower so yours looked like it would work better.
@@LifewithJames Well James. I used to climb up my 68' self support tower on the farm to fix the antenna wire. I would stand on top of the top plate. No belt , only my leg wrapped around the mast. Crazy young guy back then. Today I can barely get up 20' on the fold over where the lock down bolts are. That is why I wanted a fold over. easier to do repairs or replacement.
very cool
Don, That was fun! Thank you so much for the help. It looks like your running an RE20 or maybe 27? I have the 320 and don't have the pop filter on it. After taking time to watch the video again and listening closely I am going to add that. I may have been getting to close to the mic. Also some breath sounds in there too. Again HUGE help 73 Jon N8EM
Jon. It was my pleasure doing this. Yes I have the RE27 and the Golden Age Pre73 JR mic preamp. The rest of the ERQing is done with the Thetis program.
Hi DJ
Glad to help with the stream Reese
Thank you for all ya’ll helping me
By God DJ is drinking heavy!
Carbonated water by Soda Stream!!! LOL
Liked having the Net on Netlogger, thanks to KD8MUK for getting that on there for a first, and thanks for doing the Net and livestream today VA3KBC. Would like to see the Net grow with more topics by different people. Glad you got all that Vax stuff off your chest Don. I dont pay much attention to the vaccine stuff. I refused to comply with that garbage under threat of termination. They backed down when I told them to f-off. Take away from today is don't trust the MSM. Find a doctor you trust before putting stuff in your body. 73s, KE8WLS
Thanks for doing this DJ, great job! Scott 'WEL
My pleasure!
Looks great, DJ
Yeh, A little wide there. I'll have to see what is spreading that signal out. Not sure if it's GAIN, EQ, or ALC. I'll have to see if I can pull that back a bit. Maybe we can connect again sometime if you'd be willing to help since you have that REAL nice scope. Man I'm jealous. Soon I'll have one (Hopefully) Thanks again DJ. 73's
Wow.. Awesome work DJ. Man, really appreciate the work you're doing. Great talking again as well. Glad you ran across us HI HI. Looking forward to next Sunday as well. Thanks for the help. I'm sure Dean (K3KHG) will check this out for his audio as well.
Much appreciated!
Awesome
This was just a trial run.
Merry Christmas guys from Sweden 😀
CW and ft8 data
Is that the program with the SDR radio or something else? Looks and sounds great.
It is Thetis software for the Anan. I stream using Stream Labs OBS. The Skins are part of the Thetis background. You can change the background to different Skins that are available. There are custom made ones as well that I have.
Great, thanks for the reply@@va3kbc
I want that radio... looks so much fancier than my 991-A
You guys are amazing. Helping each other tuning the audio
Did you know ve2pjv?
Sorry. No
😂LOL ! Didn't have my amp on for this whole Live Stream. It was in Standby.
Back in the late 80s I had an Apple IIc. I wrote a high tech looking “screensaver” that made it appear like my computer was intercepting satellite signals. Was real nerdy looking. I would leave it on after school when I’d go out to play with my friends and my mom would come home from work and see it. She’d be freaking out by the time I got home lololol. I can just imagine her going off if she walked in and saw this software running 😆
Wow your meters look amazing!
Wow DJ, I sound GREAT!
Hi DJ can you show the values in insert in OBS? I have a similar conection liek yours but I never can make OBS stream 100%. Lot of time I have red light / loose packets .. I believe is something in configuration.
One thing is that I have Fiber Optics. 250MB download and 95MB upload. Makes a big difference for streaming
I love that radio, one thing I have noticed most Anan users are high end folks with amps and good antennas. I always notice S9 + signals . I wish I could see one video where the Anan user has a " normal " antenna and 100 watts transmitting to the person doing the video , to see how that sounds and what reception they get. Either way I'm planning to get the G2 , in early 2024
Thanks I have run just with the radio and beam and guys say Im still booming in. Someday when I do a live stream again and you are around maybe we can try it.
@@va3kbc great. I only have a vertical and I pick up a lot of noise plus it's about 75 feet from power lines. have ideas in mind, to make a fan doublet all the plans are in my head , but that won't happen till 2024 due to several reasons, mostly money and time working too many hours on grave yard shift btw I'm in Norwalk, CA inside Los Angeles county
Where are the chickens- and Hello Ritchie- im moving from the dark Russian Side to Thetis- Ritchie- I gave up on the guys there nothing new and I supect things promised where shall I say : Blown smoke up the bung hole" so to speak, Number #92 Don I think I have a BINGO-

I always knew you were out of this world, DJ.
Live Long and Prosper
I like his reverb, sounds like older AM music radio stations.
can i ask,it looks to me that you have the older style flexradio software and half the expertsdr3 software, lol how did you manage to make it look that way i could be missing i am using the expertsdr3 but i am new to it anyhow have fun on the air
it is the Thetis program. ua-cam.com/video/0gtu6ADq2b8/v-deo.html
I ordered a 8000 DLE MK II so I can be like you big guys
500 watter !!
DX has some good prices for Canadians, I usually leave prices in USD and make the conversion in the credit card currency converter as there is usually bank fees also associated off about 2.5% and it is often cheaper than Canadian dealers except for amplifiers.

Thank you Don defiantly an improvement from the last recording on my audio.
What kind of antenna system are you using for 160? Think a random wire of 107ft will work for me. This make me want to get one put up. Nice feed! 73 KY4DOC
