  • We got our hands on the new AH-705 tuner and we simply had to take the opportunity to activate K-2540. We tried a couple of antennas, and in this case, the Buddipole definitely showed out! This is a great little tuner, and we had a great activation.

      Thanks... getting youth involved is kinda my thing. I'm lucky to get to teach ham radio at school as well, so that helps! Thanks for watching!

      Sweet. I’ve started using GLAARG online. I like that I can test a few when ready and not have to hold anyone up waiting for a large enough group. Good luck!

    Absolutely have to use a counter poise with the Comet HFJ-350M antenna. Also, it's extended all the way out.....collapse a few sections for 20M. I use a 24 foot 4 inch counter poise on 40M. I also collapse a little over 2 sections (I think). de KD4CHW

    I was standing behind/near Frank, we had some very odd noises(QRM) going on that night.

      Well he certainly wasn't hearing our 10 watts! haha... thanks for watching, Beau!

    Great video. What kind of power source were you using to get the full 10 watts?

    • @K5ATA
      @K5ATA  ปีที่แล้ว

      Just a little Bioenno battery. Not sure which one, as we have a couple. Thanks for watching!

    You would be better off tuning that BBQ grill than that Comet antenna.

      Good idea.... #challengeaccepted

    What did you ground the antenna tuner to??

  • @mrrobot5221
    @mrrobot5221 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    which battery are you using there?

    • @K5ATA
      @K5ATA  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was a Bioenno. Pretty sure that one was the 30ah, but that radio is so battery friendly a much smaller one would work fine.

    Put an SD card in the radio and use the voice recorder…

    Compromise antenna that doesn't need a tuner, you're making it worse with that tuner in line!
