That is how I started in the 90s on a Radio Shack TRC-225 handheld. Lucky to have the Elmers I've had.

Glad the Icom 7300 is working for you. 73......K2CDM - Mike

Happy Birthday, Ted On a sad note I saw Ted at Galen's (WA0TQT) funeral a few years back

Amazing, my Mother made it to 100 a few months ago. The very best generation!

Happy Birthday, Ted

Happy Birthday Ted! Glad to see you smiling! Thanks for sharing this with us Larry.

That’s great, Happy Birthday Ted!

HB! Ted de JF1QFH

happy birthday Ted!!!!

Happy Birthday

Awesome video...thanks for posting Larry!

Great video. I can only imagine these people 200 miles away, “Was that a UV5R Roger beep???” 🤣🤣🤣

I’d like to make one to check HF 100w solar panels which will output 18v and 5.56amp. What size of resistor is needed?

great video my friend thanks 73 from, kb2uew

I'm working the world in my mobile using 100 Watts de w1wjb

You gave it a good try... Good to see 6 meters are still being used. 73's de KC2RDU😉

Neat stuff, 6 Meters is alive! Great to have propagation again.

We had brilliant pinkish red auroras here in Prescott Arizona.

Larry, thanks for sharing. I hope everyone is doing well.

Question: I was given a 6m beam, new in box about 3 years ago. If I'm lucky, I'll have about an hour to turn on the radios throughout the month. Is it worth the time and money to put up the 6m beam?

Conditions like these make the hobby fun and interesting, Larry. Always great to see you & we hope you and your family are doing well. 73!!

Interestingly enough, you can hear that phenomenon on lower HF bands such as 20 meters. Been a long time since I've heard the impact of an aurora on HF/VHF signals. Thanks for the demo!

Fell short on the contact but still fun though eh?

I do remember this radio in the 1970s...Dial Glass is cool 😊....the SSB mode on one of those was good....I wish they would of put vhf air ham snd marine on it ...it would of been perfect...😮

I want the realistic patrolman 9....I use to go to the radio shack in San Pedro California...in the 1970s....when I ditched school I would sit with the guys at the store...it was great...it was a expensive radio in that time 😮

Great explanation very good.

Hope everyone in Ukraine safe and take care

this is sooo Addictive i am enjoying this hobby soon will be getting licensed and currently learning thank you LARRY and keep it going Sir

I went to do the mod and noticed that you said you replaced c58. Was that with a dielectric? The video seems to show noting was replaced after the .1uf disk was removed. Am I missing something. I know the video is old but do you have the linked document as it appears the link is now bad. I can't seem to find this mod anywhere.

Depend on you guys for info if the sht ever happens. Thank you. Keep up good work

Hear you guys on My 40 dollar scanner. So cool. So 20 meters. Wow. Always listened to 40. 7.1 to 7.3

Can it be done with a simple lighter?

Best method ever

Try holding you mic in one spot, not moving it around while you talk..

Do you k ow anything about the E.F. Johnson SDL6000 8-ch radio?

I have a poor mans solar system that took me years to build. Anyway when I turn my inverter on wirelessly you can forget about listening to any AM radio in the house. My battery bank and inverter cabinet is about 25 feet from the house and there is no moving that. I have yet to figure out how to stop this racket when using solar and wanting to listen to AM in the evenings. My entire battery bank cabinet is enclosed in aluminum over plywood. You would think that would help. Anyway,,,,,,,,,anyone in here with some ideas would be welcomed. Thanks.

So, I just got a BAOFENG UV5R from another homesteader here locally. We are just listening and learning at the moment. We got them to use only in emergencies, or SHTF. So, I am 100% new, no idea of laws, regulations, how to talk, what not to say, what to say etc. So, just trying to get introduced at the most basic levels. What is the point in talking to someone in Russia, or Ukraine, or Spain? Is it just for fun? I don't really see the practical use in it. Is there not supposed to be any use, just a fun thing? Just trying to get an understanding of why people do this, and what all the excitement is about. It's sort of like walking into a room full of people who don't speak your language, trying to figure out what everyone is saying, and why.

Hey RadioHamGuy what did you pay for this Realistic DX160 Shortwave receiver? I would like to know how much it did cost you.! 73's

in a way, this was teleconferencing, but with hella steps and only for hobbyists

The 't' in 'often' is silent.

Is it 20 kHz channel spacing? And what FM deviation?

Wow, this brings back so many memories of my time in the Army a Radio Operator. I should pick this up again and turn those skills into a hobby. Looks like a ton of fun!
