Good evening thanks so much for the message and glad to help promote the hobby - appreciate your sir '73

Danke für das tolle Video.73 von Jozef,S56CJG,QTH Wien.Österreich.😊😊😊

I got licensed over 3 years ago, but haven't really gotten on the air, but I'm running a (slightly) modified CB antenna on 10 meters (got the match down to 1.5) and get on whenever I see the skip on my cell phone SDR...

Good evening sir and thanks for the message, I love doing these videos and helping HAM's, straight forward HAM that's our business, 73 and hope to work you on the air

Good evening Chris, thanks for the message and glad your getting on the air, let me know if there's anything you need and hope to make a contact with you soon '73 from KI5JUF

Hi Jeff, thanks so much for the message, I'm so glad your your a HAM and on the air soon, I'm still a 11m guy too, I still talk to all my old friends, let me know if you need anything l and '73 sir !!

Good evening Jeff, thanks for the message and I'm glad this brought back some good memories of your Dad's system. Let me know if there's anything I can do or help you with getting on the air 73 sir and God Bless from KI5JUF

I have my dads old Ranger 3500 and I can't put an antenna on the place I'm actually living in right now but I thought about putting it in my truck. I might pick your brain about a good antenna to buy for it. Also, I'm a little fuzzy about SWR. I remember him being fanatic about it and he always took care of that for me. Wish I had learned now how to deal with it. @@westtexasvideogateski5juf255

Hi Matt how you doing, I love real work no sales advertisements etc. going on just real deal, thanks for the message and 73

Good evening sir, My pleasure I don't like all the gimmicks they have on some channels, its a;; about the likes etc.. I just keep it simple and I love sharing all my knowledge because I was too a new Ham and I remember how it was when I knew very little '73 sir

Good evening Francisco absolutely I love making the videos and helping grow the HAM community '73 sir back to you also

@@westtexasvideogateski5juf255 Thank you so much sir and all the best to you and you loved ones.

Good evening I'm so happy to hear my videos make it to Germany you made my day and I feel so good, thanks again I'm so happy to do all I can to promote the hobby '73 and thanks!

@@westtexasvideogateski5juf255 Good morning Steve. Your Videos are travelling the entire HAM Radio Planet. And so will your Signal if the Bands opening up and we are hopefully having the Chance to say hello to each other over the Airwaves. I am so looking forward to this. I had a couple Contacts into the Lone Star State of Texas from my portable Setup. I am a full time portable Station cuz I run no Base Station no more since Man made Noise from asian Entertaining Technologies was producing a continious Ground Noise Level 5dB over S9 from 160 and 80m Band. Then it killed the RX on the 40m Band. And later on they came interfering the lower Bands too. Happy Weekend to you and yours, Steve. Tnx for your Message 73 de Uncle Guenter DK5ONV 🙋‍♂

Good evening Keath welcome back sir I'm so glad to hear folks that come back to the hobby you guys from back in the day are my hero's really appreciate all you do - keep in touch and let me know if there's anything you need from me sir '73

Thanks for the message, I love generating interest in the hobby, 73 hope to catch you on the air

Hi Jose, thanks for the message I'm always trying to get the best audio, always adjusting it seems, okay thanks for the message and 73 keep in touch

Good evening Jeff, thanks for the I was a CB guy too some advice is stay out of the CB shops, those radios advertised as 10 Exports are not really HAM quality radios, there RF emissions are sometimes very band meaning you transmit one several frequencies outside of allowable HAM recommendations, I just wouldn't recommend them they are only 10m and many do not cover the entire band, email me shope02@yahoo.com we can discuss further, I spent a lot of money in my CB days and I learned that the gimmick is loud sounding radios and the CB shops do a l lot of magic to make them sound loud but from an emissions stand point would be tolerated in the HAM world, get back to me, I'll help you 73

Hi Vic, me too I was CRAZY about 11 meters for a long time, I'm glad I made the move to HAM 10 M is my favorite and I'm hoping 6 M will open soon in Solar Cycle 25 '73 my friend

Hi Ron, thanks for the message glad to see 10 M open it's everything I hoped it would be, I'm a 11 M CB so 10 M has been a great experience '73 and keep in touch!

Hi Jim thanks for the message glad to hear, I'm really excited about the upcoming Solar Cycle maybe we can make a contact soon, thanks again for the message and '73 my friend.

Hi Jose, thanks for the message maybe well make a QSO soon '73 my friend

@@westtexasvideogateski5juf255 Hi Steve, Maybe, maybe we soon can share a QSO down the log / 73 my friend

Good evening sir and thanks for the message glad to hear from you keep in touch and let me know if you need anything from my side '73

Good evening Gary how you doing? Well that's a good questions, look on your display on the waterfall box just above the water fall left portion you should see IPO, this is the default RF Gain if this is set to AMP1 (will add 1.6 S units) or AMP2 (will add 3.3 S units) which could be increasing the noise floor. 2nd thought what kind of antenna do you have? Mine is a CP-610 from Diamond, this is a dual band 6 and 10, the 6 meter is vertical and the 10m is horizontal so that may account why my noise floor is low. write me back well keep working this I'm kind of curios too 73 and let me know be glad to help. Oh BTW my QRZ.com has pictures of my antennas too

10- 4 on that makes me want one. I been thinking about working on getting a ham licence. Does the Yaesu put out 90 watts?

​@@shartne 10-4 This is a Rubber Duck we got the convoy

991a puts out 100 watt,

What’s your handle? Come back?

@@djvnet He said his "Handle Is..."

a tec license will get you on 10, as for a straight 10 meter rig an hr 2510 is a good rig if you go for general class, you will have a lot more range and bands you can use check my channel for some more radio contacts on various bands

@@wb2dx717 thank you for your reply. I’ll probably be asking you some questions soon? Hopefully you don’t mind.?

Hi sir, thanks for the message glad to hear your looking at 10 meter, let me know if there's anything I can do the HAM club here in Abilene their club call sign is KC5OLO and they meet regularly google them "Key City Armature Radio Club" email me shope02@yahoo.com if you need testing dates etc, '73 and glad your looking at 10M

Hi Michael, thanks for the message, the FT991A comes with the default set to SPECTRUM, the following video shows you to change it to WATWERFALL, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdyFoJafraqsmps.html let me know if this helps, email me shope02@yahoo.com and '73

I spend a lot of time on 10m. Daytime is the best time. A lot of European stations mid day. 73 hope to talk to you; KZ5MLS

usually, a few hours after sun rise however 10 may open up just about any time of the day

That depends on a bunch of things, really. During the up and down swings of a solar cycle, daytime is *usually* best...during the autumn and winter months in the northern hemisphere. The band typically opens an hour or so after local sunrise and closes an hour or so after sunset. DX is measured in thousands of miles. Spring and summer are different. The band is *usually* dead from local sunrise until late afternoon, then it opens up with sporadic E and can stay open until well past midnight. DX is measured in hundreds of miles. Summertime weather, like a big dome of high pressure, can bring about a *tropospheric* opening. DX here is typically less than 500 miles and is a great way to log areas close to you.

Good evening all, all good points I find West 4 PM t0 9 PM CST, but after 9 PM it can drop out completely, mornings I've heard are East is good for Europe, '73 all and thanks for the comments

Used to talk to England on weekend mornings (if/when the skip cooperated) back in my CB days, now hopefully I can do the same on 10 meters this summer!!

Great thanks for the message keep in touch and thanks for the message '73 KI5JUF

Could've sworn I heard Dayton, Ohio...

Good evening sir, and very good advice, this was my rookie mistake I understand now to specify which station I'm going to take next, this lets everyone know to try back again, great advice and I appreciate the help '73 sir de KI5JUF

Different license types. For 2 meter, 70 cm, 10 meter and 6 meter a technician license works. For hf you then need a general. A tyt 9800 works for all 4

Technicians are permitted some privileges on 10 meters. "On 10 meters, Technician and Novice licensees have CW, RTTY and data privileges from 28.000 to 28.300 MHz, and CW and SSB privileges from 28.300to 28.500 MHz."

Hi Richard I'm curious what frequency, I'd like to promote AM on 10M I think the range is 29.000 to 29.200 does that sound right '73 and thanks

@@westtexasvideogateski5juf255 28.300 to 29.700

I just started 10m AM love here's a video I did 73 hope to work you on 10m 73 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7mKhMabtrHVnnk.html

I just discovered AM, I love thanks and hope all is good on your side 73 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7mKhMabtrHVnnk.htmlsi=qSWpzW9zjUn78xI_

Hi Rick '73 and glad to get a message from you well defiantly make 10 contacts '73

Copy that I didn't know I had heard "Handle" on many 10M in the past, so thanks and I'll make the change easy and '73 appreciate the message

Hi Red Stick Ham, yeah its easier for folks to come to me than me chasing everyone else all over the band, appreciate the message well make a QSO soon I'm sure '73

Wasn't impressed with VK2XZ on 28465? "Someone is on there..."
