Hi, I've been playing with amateur radio for over 40 years and I still enjoy it... I spend most of my time on home-brewing and I'm still learning something, this time thanks to your video... Many thanks for the informative video...
Greetings frem SP5TAA.🤝

Thanks, K4SDV, for the video. It was very hard for me to hear the first part of the video as the audio was very low. It was still low during the rest of the video but better than the first part. I finally turned on the closed captions to help me understand all of what you were saying. I don't know what UA-cam calls it using chapters would have also helped my following the video easier as then I would have been able to jump to those parts of the video I was most interested in versus watching the whole thing from beginning to end. Thanks for making the video and attempting to educate us on making and testing our own filters. 73 WA0A.

Sorry if the audio was low

[@user-gw8dx4ol1v]

Thanks for the demonstration! Very helpful.

[@QSOWithACOPK4SDV-ey3fz]

You are most welcome.

👍Thanks for video. 1.08:1 VSWR is a loss of 0.006dB or 0.1% power loss. I wouldn't worry about that.

[@QSOWithACOPK4SDV-ey3fz]

Thanks for the info!

[@dylanschulz2404]

Excellent! Just found your channel. I have seen these kits and have considered them over starting from scratch. 73, KF0BBU

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.

Thank you for the video, are you planning on a follow on video of some band contacts with and without the filter?

[@QSOWithACOPK4SDV-ey3fz]

Yes I am!

Thank you.

So why do you need a band pass filter?

[@QSOWithACOPK4SDV-ey3fz]

A band-pass filter or bandpass filter (BPF) is a device that passes frequencies within a certain range and rejects (attenuates) frequencies outside that range. It's the opposite of a band-stop filter.

[@QSOWithACOPK4SDV-ey3fz]

Field day is a good example. If I'm transmitting on 40m and the other operator is transmitting on 20m the 40m filter is rejecting his 20m signal and only allowing the 40m signals to pass through to my receiver. If that makes sense.

We're all greedy when it comes to SWR.
1) Start at 1.08 on first try.
2) Fiddle for 5 minutes to make it 10 times worse.
3) Thrash around for 5 more minutes out of frustration to get back to... 1.08 🤣
