"Sad Ham" another useless millennial buzz word like "fan boy" that can be used as a stress card when one gets their feelings hurt on the internet or can't admit they are wrong or unwilling to agree to disagree. Wonderful.....

I have one of the MFJ Hamstick dipole mounts I use with the military poles like you. I sacrificed one of the poles and just keep the mount attached to it. In other words I made the clamp mount work on the pole (drilled a little indention on both sides would except the diameter of the clamp). There in turn it does not have the lean like your antenna does with the extended mount. I get by without having to guy it and can easily go up 20ft with it. Robert KD4YDC

They're not Hamsticks, they're 17 foot telescopic whips.

Looks like a rotatable dipole I could use myself. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Stuart , that will tune from 10 through 20. Just shorten each whip to the correct length for each band ! VE1SK

Thanks for trying that out! Neat antenna.

I would like to see you put up that pole or your BB7V? Do you swing it up or lift it straight up and add sections. I have them now but it seems tough to get it up and not knock me over? More video on that part of your activities would be appreciated!! Thanks!

Hi, Stuart. I'm confused. You claim that the antenna uses "hamsticks" but they appear to me to be telescopic whips, which technically are not hamsticks. Can you clarify that for me? Thanks, Marc (N1QGM)

hi the way to say it is grand dig not grand dic and boys you got to try the schollops some good

Happen to notice LOTW just happened to log all my back qso’s , so far no upload

Awesome and informative. 👍 Thank you.

Getting this bb7v or a magnetic loop 10-40

Hope to see you soon in the ☀️ state!! Stop by US-6324!!! K1MCO

Thanks for hunting me last week, great contact from middle Georgia.

Just slow down, stay close to home.

Holy cow! "hovering around $1.65 per litre" in Canada! Here in Australia we are being told we have some of the cheapest fuel in the world by Labor Party (read Democrat/socialist/union controlled) politicians at an average of $2.00 (Diesel) and $1.80 (no the Premium ($2.10) gasoline) per litre. AND we here are always travelling many, many kms between towns because the distances between and within states is extreme with most of the population spread up and down the East coast from Cairns in the North to Melbourne in the South - a distance of about 3500km. along the populated route via Sydney and Brisbane

Thanks for the park to park contact from the states on Saturday.

How do I get one please

Great Video

A beautiful Town of what I was able to look at. Love these Buildings made of solid Rock, clean Roads and Roadsides with lots of green Bushes. Well that's NS of its finest. Miss that Place a lot. Yarmouth, Ohio, Red Rocks, the South Shore of Barrington Passage the Lobster Capital, Cape Sable Island....omg, now opened my Memory Box. Holy Cow....

Id eat it all!

Those mushrooms looked so good!! Loved the presentation of the sauce in the chip verses a plastic container too! Glad you guys found a hit!!

Goldilocks perhaps? 😉 this one is too hard - this one is too soft - this one is juuuuuust right . . .Missy was correct in ordering poutine - deelicious - $71.00 is quite a bit. Where we are living, on Fridays you can get a gorgeous piece of fried cod as long as your forearm, fries, cole slaw & MAC N CHEESE for $17.00. You have great chemistry - subscribed.

Amherst is a town.

Do you want to grow your KZfaq channel?

Have a 2022 Newmar Ventana with a Cummins 8.9 400 hp on a freightliner chassis. Needing a def simulator for emergencies that will eventually happen.

Need one please

I’d like fish to be a 1.

Great video

Loving your vids Bro, tried to tell you yesterday on the air that I hope you do a vid on the DX nets you frequent de AA1IA

That looked great! I share your wife's love of Pecan Pie - it's the only pie I know how to bake. 👍🏻73 de KJ7LLX

Looks REALLY Good!!

My dad was a CBr in the late 50 and into the 60s. His club set my standard of what a radio club should be. They had weekly nets. Daily QSO. Monthly meetings. Monthly Caravan trips. A caravan Trip was a Saturday long event where they drive. They made frequent stops at sightseeing stops. The midpoint was a restaurant or a picnic. They did all this while talking on their mobiles. I tried 5 or 6 ham clubs since the 80's. They all suck. I suggested a caravan. That was the dumbest idea ever uttered I was told. Mountain topping? Still dumb. All the clubs, I've been to, just want to argue rule books or pose for pictures at someone Field Day or see who can smoke the most cigarettes. Two of the Ham clubs HAD NO NETs. They had NO DAILY QSO Frequency. One club, a off road ham club, did no off-road activities, nor did they have a net frequency. They only did packet for 10K runs or chilly cook off or such BS. Ham clubs are a waste of time.

Thanks for the contact and email Stu!

Watching your video to get pumped for Ribfest 2024! Couple days away! Great video guys!

Hoe was the food? I had food on dining car on amtrak and like cafeteria food Is food decent on the boat

Wohoooo, Yay it's Beach Day 💯😍

east coast hospitality and POTA activations, doesn't get any better.

I received my card from you this week. Thanks for taking the time to send it. New subscriber now. I do not have a Windows machine....maybe he can add a version for MAC soon? de N4YLA.

Do you still have any of the old hand outs, specially the layout of your locker, foot locker and barracks?

I have had m ine for almost 3 years...one issue to be careful of DON'T let an element slip and free fall as it will jam itself in. Had to send mine back to Diamond for repair, and sadly it happened again so one element is constantly extended... Paul K1YOU

All I ever hear is checkins, dont give me this bs. The FCC is the ultimate authority, period.

I love CW. I love the history of it, the simplicity of the equipment, and it feels like I’m in an exclusive club with a secret language.

Sharing the ham hobby to get others interested in it is my biggest joy.

Digital DX, POTA Chasing - SSB and Digital (Would like to activate if I could get out), Sunday QRP SSB Net from IA, SC.

But, but, but, 2 meters is all I have, I have a park across the street, can I do POTA from there? I have been taking a Bus around town lately, how about a new thing BOTA...Old time Ham from BC here, having fun, now VE9CBR...

Hey Stuart!! it's N2NWK, POTA all the way, be it FT8, SSB or Satellites.

Well...first of all SSB is my favorite operating Mode. I love to have Conversations and enjyoing long QSO's if the Propagations allow it. I am not that RST59 Service Guy (Non Contester). I love Raghew as well as supporting Activity Groups like IOTA,SOTA,POTA, WWFF and joining DX Nets such as the 14247DX-Net, Big Gun Friendship Net, the HF Activity Group, the OMIS-Net or the 3905 Century Club. I am a portable operating HAM Radio Station in all kinds of WX Conditions and enjyoing every Moment of it to the Fullest.

Duuude... 😍
