    This video is part 1 of a two part video I made while visiting with the president of the our local Ham radio club Steve Porter. Steve has been into this hobby for many years, and is well known for his skills in setting up transmitters towers used by the police, television stations, and other emergency services that make use of his hill top towers. In part 2 Steve shows his elaborate Amateur radio station setup, and answers many questions related to this hobbie. Here is the link to

    This is SO cool. I just found the channel via the "LED transmitted AM radio+solar panel" short (for lack of a better description) and I'm so freaking impressed. I'll be excited for anything else you post. Thank you so much

    Radio , CB I messed with literaly since 4th grade. Dad bought a radio and installed in our 69 Ford Econoline Van and I would sit out there talking to people (girls) that were cruising town. He went downtown like a good boy and registered it , putting his number on with the punch sticky tape and now at 56 he cant believe I remember it , KAPK-3294. While driving truck a couple of us went to a shop in Souix City. Talking CB and Ham stuff , he took a new Mobile Ham radio out the box , hooked it up showing us it was 3 watts , and in 5 minutes first contact was Zanzabar Africa. Radios & Stereos , Electronics fascinate me.

      I started with CB radio myself. I'll never forget the thrill of making my first contact, and later I got my ham radio license. 73s.

    2 stories Dave, When I took my mom and her sister in 1986 to Sandpoint Idaho, I was big time into CB radio. I took a starduster 1/4 wave isotropic antenna and a 20 ft mast with me. I talked back on a (virtually) stock Cobra 142 radio back to Chico Ca to a friend I had house sitting my house, and to a friend in Reno Nv. Then in 1997 near Devils Tower Wy and Cheyanne Wy I talked to multiple friends on the super bowl channel (Ch6) all the way back to Chico Ca. I was running a little extra power (500W) in my mobile. Got to love the propagation! Thank you Dave!

      Hi Steve, I also started with CB radio. I remember the starduster antenna was a popular antenna. Much to my surprise I was able to shoot skip using 4 watts of output power while on AM with a base loaded mobil antenna, so I've witnessed the possibilities. ;-)
