I have fallen in love with RedOxx bags. They make life so much better and this is a video I have been meaning to get edited for several months now. I lost the footage and then found it again so I apologize for the lateness of posting this. Be sure to check out RedOxx Mfg, Inc. at www.redoxx.com/ I AM NOT AN AFFILIATE AND HAVE NO FINANCIAL BENEFIT TO YOU DOING SO!

Those trailer tie blowouts suck. Glad you were able to get a new one and get fixed. Blessings on a Sunday.
I bought the same off of Amazon for $17. I cut a wire for 40-10m EFHW. 40m swr 1.3, 20m swr 1.6. Radio is very happy with 15m and 10m. I chased some POTA today and did fine. I guess I got lucky.
Mine works. Guess I got lucky.
It's a Chinese knock off the seller knows they are junk, like you I got dupped. Unslolder the Toroid unwrap it and rewind to 49/1 specs and if your careful reuse the wire.
I bought the same piece of junk off Amazon. My EFHW looks exactly like yours. Windings are not correct, spelling is not correct and two of the meter antenna wire lengths are the same. At the time when I got it I did not see all these things. I was just trying to make it work. Then Amazon 30 days runs out, they won’t take it back. So I will redo the windings and hope my capacitor is what it’s supposed to be. N3EIE..
Thanks for the heads up!!!
Very interesting
The thumbnail was there on QRZ front page for quite some time! Well done! Wonder whether they noted Doppler shift in the signal frequency like what we notice for LEO satellite QSOs? May be not, because the speed of descend will be quite slow compared to velocity of satellites. 73 de Jon, VU2JO.
What an amazing shack. Looks cozy.
Great interview on a good topic!
Fantastic interview and very hard hitting!! Thank you for this Vern!
It was awesome to have you on, Vern! Your story resonated with a lot of people. And it was a fun conversation, too. Thank you!
Good to see you on ! Hadn't seen anything since Quartzfest. 73 de n0km
Interesting interview. We are ingrained from long ago about ago. Think back to the 60's "Never trust anyone over 30!" Even the adds about old people not understanding Tech. I am even older than you and I still spend time learning all the new tech that comes out today. It's one of the things I enjoy about this hobby of hobbies! Take care Vern I hope all goes well for you. 73
I'm 71 and have been in this boat for years!!!
I am in my early 40s. I haven't experienced this yet, but man when I was in my early 20's I was given some serious crap about my age in IT/Cybersecurity.
Does you mag light come with a wall wort. It does not seem like we hae a choice if they are made china. I am sick of the stupid wall warts that mess up plugging things in sockets. and draw engery when the lightt is turned off. It does not look like we have much choice. Anymore that stinks.
Yes it does
Nice. Where did you get those clocks? Up in the corner.
Walmart
Good vid nice shop .👍
Not useless. Take it apart and redo everything. Maybe replace the toroid if rewrapping doesn't work. Or send it back because you want to support Americans doing innovative things. Honestly the shipping is probably not worth the money back unless you're proving a point.
really nice setup
Thank you
Great looking shack. Very neat. 73s
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
Wow! I can imagine what an exciting experience that must have been!
Very informative, thanks for sharing.
That's so nice! I sure wish I could have been there to see him again!
Look a Vern pulling strings with celebrities for his bride! 💪
I am not sure whether I should call this just a 'shack' or an amateur radio museum! 73 de VU2JO
On the Juntek (and all lcr devices) having wandering measurements: did you perform the calibration of the probes as per the manual? This can make for a more reliable test measurement. I have the multi-function device and, like you, use it to identify parts and components. 73 de K4FMH
Yes I did the calibration.
That is one well equipped shack! Very nice 👌
Thank you so much. I sure enjoy it.
Great shack. Almost no need to go in the house.
Right. Except I do like to spend time with my smokin hot wife. LOL
@@WhatsUpWithSixLol that’s why I said almost.
@@dj_saint hahaha
Congratulations on your achievement, Ranae for your performance with a reassured smile Here in the western French airs, we are not authorized to communicate with our friends on dry land. Kind regards, Dominic F6epo
Your overhead light needs to be moved because it puts glare on the display of the TC-1. Otherwise a good video.
Yeah unfortunately that's not possible. But i agree
Good video review on the equipment Vern! Looking forward to more.
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it
Nice shack! I like the bug zappers when you get a big juicy June bug in there. 73
Interesting video
Thanks for watching Buddy. I hope it was accurate. :)
Good honest demo and run through. I Like the Atlas LCR Meter and I have a number of different Kaiweets meters. I'll be looking for a better LCR meter and a half decent scope for the hobby in the new year when I replenish funds.😂 🍻🤠 73
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I sure love the bigger test equipment that I have. If you ever get to a point where you want some discussion about different equipment on the bench let me know
@@WhatsUpWithSix fantastic, thank you. :)
Great video! Keep up the good work! 73
Thanks buddy. I wasn't sure how this video was going to be received. :)
Great video!! good info!! 73 buddy!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I do hope you have a good Alarm on that blinding and great 🔐 indoors and windows
Absolutely. And 24hr video surveillance as well. My guard dog sleeps in my shack as well. I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to break in. :)
Awesome setup, I like the layout and choice of items
Wow... I have one that is almost identical. I'll probably pull the toroid off and rewrap it to see if I can salvage it.
Seems she's not the first woman to make a qso skydiving but still an amazing accomplishment for any operator.
That's what someone said. Waiting to see QSL cards or logs etc. Either way is was so fun to watch her have a great time in our hobby.
Haha Top Banana Vern!! Mine is ALMOST as tidy.. Finally! Stay there and I'll show you :)
The problem (like most hams I suppose) is I have so much stuff and not enough space. It's like having 10 pounds of potatoes but only a 5 pound sack.
Sweet Setup!
Thanks buddy.
Vern! Good to see you! Love the video of the very organized shack. See you out there. 73 de Bill
Thanks buddy! You need to come visit soon. T.O. is here now
That is amazing. If I’m gonna dream, I’ll dream up one more thing and add a window. I guess I’m pretty lucky, it’s me and the wife now in our little ranch-style on an acre. I get one of the two spare bedrooms.
Thanks for the kind words. I have been renovating this building since June. Is smaller than my old shack but it's nice to have everything of mine in one building by itself where I don't interfere with others and they don't interfere with me. :) I would love to see pictures of your shack.
Nice setup! New subscriber here. I saw you on the CaHR live. You said you were in east Texas. I live up in north Texas Hope to contact you on air sometime. 73 de KI5HXM
Thanks for the kind words. Sorry for the confusion though. I was saying I try to communicate with some friends in Northeast Texas on 10m. I actually live in Central Texas about an hour from Austin.
@@WhatsUpWithSix oh not a problem. I was aware of a 10m net when I was first licensed in 2020. I passed Tech & General in one sitting. They encouraged me to try for extra also. I missed by 2 questions. Some of antenna theory I hadn’t seen since the 70’s in class in college. Haha. All the best!
nope. no good. wont work TOO NEAT AND CLEAN! The floor in a real ham shack hasnt been seen in years. HI
Ha
Awesome stuff Vern, can't wait to hear all about it on the show 👍
