One of the problems is that a lot of hams think that once they get their license they become an expert know it all. Sixty years of being licensed has taught me that I do not know it all and that I never will. It's a hobby, chill out and have fun.
I used to ragchew witth a group of guys and shortly after the FCC dropped the code requirement, a no code Extra joined the group. Several of the Generals started giviing him a hard time for not learning code. After a couple minutes, I asked the new Extra to QSY to the Extra portion of the band. My message to him was, QSY to (whatever frequency), they won’t bother you, necause these idiotys aren’t allowed there.
I dutifully learned to code on my own, even though it wasn’t a requirement anymore. Started with Morse Whisperer at 5/10WPM. Then pushed myself along to 10/20WPM. 5mins 2 or 3 times a day. Learned enough to get on the air and had a few shaky QSOs but I did it. That was when I decided I probably should get my license reinstated
All radio gear is packable!? When I was in the army I had some radio gear I had to pack, it didn't fit in my pack and took four people to carry all the pieces ( in addition to our 65 lb plus packs ).
70 years young here! How the hell do these sad oldsters think that we got out of the stone age? Man is inquisative and in a timespan 150 years we have gone from horse back to the realms of outer space!
I first experienced the "no-code" prejudice when my wife and I were brand new shiny hams and full of happiness! We were checking into a local 2m net when an OLD SAD HAM began berating "Stupid No code techs" Explaining that he, in his infinite superior knowledge, could build a radio with a "Model A Coil". He REALLY did not like when I asked him how many Model A coils he had in his parts bin! Hopefully this attitude is passing out of the hobby.
My favorite comment for the "no code complainers" is to ask what frequencies are their plug-in crystals for their AM rig, or have they switched to that new thing called SSB with a VFO. :)
I do think Icom needs to make a competitor to the Yaesu FT-891. Same form factor, use the same Icom menu system as all their other radios, throw in an internal sound card, maybe even a small spectrum scope and/or waterfall if they can fit it in. Do that and they’d absolute slay that market.
What you describe is a Yaesu 991, more or less... Form factor is way different and the 991 has a million more features, but it is a portable etc. I agree, I'd love to see an 891+ with everything you mention but I doubt they will do it.
I’m an “old guy” by any measure….live where no-code did for ham radio, enjoy FT8 and other digital modes, absolutely LOVED trying thee 2 could back to back…can’t wait to see what else develop…ham radio must evolve or die. Not all us old guys are sad hams 😂
I laughed all the way through your video. Please do it again. Starting the day with a good belly wrenching laugh is truly the way to go. But you forgot one comment (I am sure you thought it): these folks can vote. Now that’s scary.
Oh man. I read a comment from a guy who was going off on no code extras as though knowing cw somehow imparted this magical ability to know all the possible ins and outs of every aspect of ham radio. I wanted to call a waaaaaambulance so bad.
Hi Mike Wonderful. Compulsive viewing for first thing in the morning. What a way to start the day! I loved the voices and impressions of those sad hams. More like this please......please.....please!!!!!
Unfortunately, Mike, you can't make everyone happy with you great videos. Fortunately, you can highlight and make fun of the sad hams that leave these gems in your comments. Thanks for sharing another round of mean comments with us.
Right after I passed by Extra exam one person told me I went from a "code-less clueless Tech to a code-less clueless Extra." I pretty much ignore him when he throws his call out on the local repeater now. Like you it isn't my fault they removed the code requirement years before I even thought about getting my Technician license. The stacking of two Wolf River coils and the fast end-fed deployment are experimenting with antennas, which is part of ham radio. Last year when one of my Elmers came over to help me install a used 2m/70cm base antenna that I bought for $40 at a local hamfest we couldn't adjust it long enough to make it resonant on 2 meters. Turns out it was missing the top section. I pulled a campfire roasting fork out of my garage, cut the handle off, and shoved it into the antenna. Before we secured the fork to the antenna we tested it to see if it worked. The swr came out to less than 1.5:1 on 2 meter and it was completely flat on 70cm. As we were securing the tuning fork to the antenna I looked at my Elmer and said "well part of ham radio is experimenting with antennas." Several of the guys in my club still talk about how amazing it was that I thought to try the roasting fork. In fact one of the guys in my club has his own UA-cam channel, N8VOX, and he came over to my house to do an interview of how I got into ham radio and talk about my tuning fork antenna.
14:35 Up to some point, I understood that guy. Only a few shack-in-the-box radios are left on the market. I'm happy that 7100 is still going well. I would like to see a 7100 form factor radio upgraded to modern standards like a waterfall and a fully functional USB interface (cat+audio) while keeping that two-part form with a slanted screen, all bands, and all modes.
Wow, that was hilarious! Regarding the "Icom 705 100w version" bit - I've pressed my ancient Icom IC-706 (not even a MKII or MKIIG, a vanilla 706) into use as a cracking FT8 rig with a SignaLink USB box. Works a treat. As a side note, I don't run it at 100W on FT8 - I'm British but not 100% stupid - but I do occasionally run it at 100W SSB. Lol. Keep the funny stuff going please - it brightened an otherwise rainy and miserable morning up no end 😂
I love it comparing the ID-50 to the ID-52 when the ID50 was brought out for those who wanted an update to there ID-51's. By the way thank you for your review on it.
Inexpensive off-brand HT's not only make great flashlights, paper weights, and sirens. They will win you a QSL from the FCC congratulating you for spurious emissions.
"If it ain't in the bible, it ain't gon' be!" Made me spit hot tea across my keyboard. Absolutely cracked me up. I bet he's the type to go walking to find the edge of the world to prove the earth is flat.
In the world of ham radio, there's a guy named Mike, K8MRD's his handle, he reviews radios alike. On UA-cam, he shares his thoughts, the good and the bad, But sometimes, oh sometimes, things get a tad bit mad. For when Mike speaks his mind, he's met with some strife, From those who disagree, stirring up some life. They'll contradict, they'll jest, they'll poke and they'll pry, But Mike K8MRD ain't one to let those comments fly. He'll stand his ground, with wit and with sass, And when it comes to insults, he's ready to surpass. He'll call them all dummies, with a chuckle and grin, For in the realm of ham radio, he's sure to win. So here's to Mike K8MRD, with his reviews so grand, Navigating the airwaves with a mighty hand.

Just watched your video, Mean Comments, I just had to laugh with you. Forest Gump said it best, “stupid is as stupid dose”. I think your comments are right on point. Keep up the good work. Love your videos. The reviews you make are very valuable to me, so I can spend my money on quality equipment and skip the junk. Thanks, and have a great day. Keep the videos coming.
I am a Yes Code Extra, heck, I was a YES CODE TECH too, and I have never seen any kind of problem with someone who was licensed after the RULE CHANGES. It isn't like they asked to be a NO CODE EXTRA, It is simply the rules. So, Blame Uncle Charlie, not the operator.
As a UK viewer, I have to say your channel is ace. The content, humour and presentation is balanced with great topics and tips for better operating. Keep up the great work....
Quite entertaining.. fun 2 watch (but my only radios are G90 and X6100 and together made 19,934 QSOs with dem dar Chinese radios..over 3 years... (2/3 with the X6100 on original firmware 1.16 ..ok with Chinese tuners and 70-90w external amp and my LFP batts...) Seems to work for me.. just providing data.. no emotions.. Pota On! (and to think 1/2 of those ere on EFHW80-10... but then I learned about of ham-stick.. and now.. Ahhhh quick and easy..in..out..off to next park.. fun hobby)-KD2PWB
I am a sad ham but I'm not typical. I'm sad because the way the weather fronts are timed, 7/10 times this winter the fronts are timed badly. Rain usually happens on Saturdays and sometimes Sunday. I live on the east coast.
The guy that just dumped on my Mobile Setup video is looking to get an IC-705 as his first mobile radio. I don't even think he's licensed yet. So, an IC-705 may even be his FIRST radio. I'm sure it's a fine radio, but also a gateway to frustration in a mobile setup, especially as a first radio, I think. HAHA! If he's unlicensed, does that make him a "Sad Spam?" I think ham tastes better! 😛-Scott
I'm a no-code Extra and proud of it! That being said, I did learn code after the fact because I wanted to use the mode. And I think the point of the 100 watt 705 was meant in form factor, like someone else commented, to compete with the 891. I have a 705 that rarely sees use for POTA (unless I'm spending more time at an activation to do CW/SSB/FT8, which rarely happens because life is busy and I'll take what I can get on an activation) and more recently have been doing CW on one of my KX2's and then hopping in my jeep to do SSB on my 891. I'll start on CW, make my activation and go until I get close to 15 contacts before switching over to SSB. I tried to find a way that made sense to use the 705 with an amp in my jeep just because I prefer the interface. And you could argue "why not just put a 7300 in the jeep?" which is also fair. I tried it in my F-150 and it's just a big radio to try and squeeze into not just the F-150, but the jeep as well. But I do wish Icom would come out with something 705 sized that does 100 watts. But I totally agree with you on the ID-52 vs ID-50. If I didn't already have a 52, I'd have just bought the ID-50 for use at home on my hotspot. Sure I could sell it and get the ID-50, but I already have it so why bother right?
I am SO GLAD I'm not a "Sad Ham". BTW, I am a 5 WPM coded Extra and I only did the code test so that I could upgrade to Tech Plus. Barely passed by the skin of my teeth. Then they dropped the code a few short years later. I personally could not care any less about code whether you have it or not, you're still a ham, period!
Mike I was having a rough day fighting with my portable PC until I watches this. Thanks for taking my mind off it, that helped me figure it out. 73 de W8MJL
Oh wow, that is some hot topics today. Thanks Mike for getting it out there. I actually had to laugh out loud a few times today. Lets hope next Monday fairs a bit better LOL
I love that Mike does this. It really does a good job of pointing out why we're having trouble attracting young people into this hobby. Mike is covering about 1/1,000,000th of this kind of behavior out there. I could give him enough material to create 10 videos each day. Keep up the good work, Mike! de WA9PIE
Mike even in Alaska you have followers. Definitely this is the best video that you have made that really tell the true about those snowflakes who doesn't want to learn from Hams like you who Worke hard to show us how and what to do in various scenarios where by only experimenting you can find the answer for a specific question. Thank for the job well done, please keep it up and never stop been you.
The only thing bad I can say about your videos is every time I watch one I wind up ordering something! Watching your UA-cam channel is like owning a boat it’s gonna cost you money! .-.. - - - .-..

Mike, It is obvious that the fatal flaw in your Baofeng review was that you never gave it a participation trophy!
More like Baofeng didn't send him a bunch of expensive free stuff, so he didn't give his "unbiased review".
I do think Icom needs to make a competitor to the Yaesu FT-891. Same form factor, use the same Icom menu system as all their other radios, throw in an internal sound card, maybe even a small spectrum scope and/or waterfall if they can fit it in. Do that and they’d absolute slay that market.

" That's the way it was...... and we liked it!" 🤣🤣 Great reference!!!
Mike, the dead do not know they're dead. It's the living that feels the pain, it's the same with stupid.
Your new vanity callsign - K4PRS - is callin your name!

Wish I were stupid so I could get on the show. Oh well, guess I will wallow in my intelligence.
The "No Code" attitude drives younger generations away from amateur radio.
I dont code yet , still too rusty but im teaching what i can.
Great hobby! And great hilarious videos
Oh man. I read a comment from a guy who was going off on no code extras as though knowing cw somehow imparted this magical ability to know all the possible ins and outs of every aspect of ham radio. I wanted to call a waaaaaambulance so bad.
Sorry Mike, you're prohibited from logging all those contacts with that antenna on POTA because your antenna wasn't authorized to work!
Hi Mike Wonderful. Compulsive viewing for first thing in the morning. What a way to start the day! I loved the voices and impressions of those sad hams. More like this please......please.....please!!!!!

You guys missed the point. He was wanting an updated 7100. Similar to a Yaesu 991A
