Whoah! Cool to hear myself keying from the other side! Also, OMG, I really was booming in! 40 was working last night!

I think you should leave sharp metal objects sticking out of the ground. It deters children.

We drill a hole into a golf ball for that same propose

Solder a smooth copper ball to the top 👀

Usually i put the grounding rod underneath the ground about 1' then cadweld 2guage wire to it

Grounding rods are well dangerous. My mate had a mate whose dog died because there was a lighting strike, like 200 meters away or something, and a ground rod killed his dog.

Rod go deeper

Maybe pound your ground rod all the way in like your supposed to

I think your ground rod isn't deep enough.

Article 250.53. Ground rods need to be 8 feet in the ground

I think you should put it in the ground. Like all the way, they make a drill that pounds a 7-8 foot rod in 30 seconds or so. Pound it down just enough for the acorn nut to be their bonus points if you bury it fully and bury the ground wire. If that one is stuck on a rock or something, a pipe wrench pulls them out pretty well.

Hi Tim, It's me again. Someday when you've got the time and you're not mountain climbing(!), how about a tutorial on how to get frequencies into the memories! I have R.T. Systems software for the FT-60, it works great for programming, but it is difficult for me to understand HOW to get those memories off the software into the FT-60 banks, 1 thru 7. I have freq's for 144 MHz, 220 MHz 440 MHz, Fire, Federal Fire, etc. I've been trying for a few days to understand how to do it with no joy. I was successful in getting 144 MHz freq's into BAND 1, but the others, into BAND 2 - 7 don't get added to the radio. Any help from you would be most gratefully received. 73 de Joaquin

Put a dime in it so it work and has a stop

They have a product for this called a rebar cap. It has more than just a bit of rubber between you and the impaling waiting to happen.

I would just use a file to round off the ground rod

Hey they make these for rebar on construction sites. They actually have a piece of metal in them for extra reinforcement 👍🏼

Should be easy enough to 3d print those

If that much of your ground is sticking up, you didn't go deep enough.

I try and mark magnets with a sharpie when it's critical that they oppose each other. Good on you for showing your mistake and everything. It makes for a better teaching experience. Good job. 🤙🏾

How do you handle when someone hunts you P2P with multiple POTA parks?

Oh yes, I love learning about a topic. I definitely know everything about. ( joke no offense to creator)

I wondered how to count turns. Thank you!

Why does TH-cam randomly send me shorts about things I have no interest in? The algorithm is an arcane hunk of bullshit

Adam and Coors Light 👍 👍 looks like a blast! #SOTA

Just what I was looking for! Thanks!

Your KX2 looks jealous. I’m sorry, that sidetone is so yucky sounding.

Thank you!

wow

Awesome view!

I downloaded the editor and tried to open the "Top 500 POTA Hunters Morse Runner Database File " but the editor said it couldn't open it. Do you have some instructions on how to get around this. Also where do you find these call signs within the POTA app? Thanks

Thanks! Encouraging for me as a new ham. Working to learn Morse code so I can have fun too.

Beep beep beep 😂😂😂 beep

Tim, Great video. I am a visual learner and this is just what I needed. Many thanks and 73 de Joaquin Stay safe climbing!

🔥❤👍

Do you have Build Instructions for that antenna on your homepage?

I was your ten meter contact lol didnt expect to see that on a random video i clicked

Any band is the best when Adam or Tim are on it!

😂😂😂 love it !!! I sure do miss the North West .

You were laughing so hard at my phonetics that you dropped the camera! Hi hi😂😂😂

Congrats on MG! Baaaa

Beautiful

Long path 🤟

Need a Morse code to text converter.

40 meter ssb is like breaking the emergency glass. If the band is open, someone will be there!

40 meters is overrun with a bunch of Useless Nets or POTA stations Day and Night and it’s a Waste of a great band.👎🏻💩

Hi Tim, I love the SOTA T-shirt. Are they for sale ? I know a couple of SOTA operators here in Ireland would be interested in them as well.

I’m probably in the minority but I love that side tone.

Idk what this is but as a mechanic i like the process

Great job with this! 2M cw/am?/ssb awesomeness in the palm of your hand. Would be great to see how you connect the key.

Found It! thanks for posting this will be handy
