- The Hobby of Ham Radio has evolved with the development of radio itself. But so has the complexity. Peter G3OJV, takes a look at how simple and inexpensive an HF station can be, even with modern equipment, whilst giving the same level of enjoyment many of us experienced back in days gone by.

Great video Peter! The simple basic aspect of ham radio is what I love the most. No networks. No devices. No Bluetooth. Just power, a transceiver, and an antenna(and yes...coax). Typically, I build my own antennas for the challenge as well as simplicity though I do use two of the Diamond HF/CL series for "run and gun" portable. Whether it's with my G90 or my FT-891, there's nothing like making a new DX QSO with basic equipment and what the atmosphere has always provided. Thanks for all you do for the ham radio community.
Ah yes..simple wire I once thought..then walked into the minefield of what wire,type,metal,awg,etc.aaargh!! 73,happy new year
Many thanks. 73 Peter
Just got back into ham radio after 20 years… bought a dx-10 and made a dipole for 40,20,10,6 meters and I’m having a blast working the world!!
Welcome back. 73 Peter.
Excellent, simple is the best place to start. Also worth noting that with something like the Xiegu you can even work from the car, just head up a hill and sling up a wire or simple vertical. So even those with no antenna at home can get on the air
Great to hear your comments. 73 Peter.
Thank you for your excellent and informative videos on Ham Radio Topics. I enjoyed them very much. I am a new Canadian Ham and I have not gotten my first HF radio yet: Don't have the money, don't have a big yard etc., etc... However, I have been a shortwave listener for decades. I have been planning to keep things simple and inexpensive, even if I had the money. I especially enjoy you videos on EFHW and EFRW antennas. Even though I don't have a radio, I have been making my toroid transformers and recycling some outdoor electrical wires for an antenna. I do know that Morse Code would be ideal for my situation but I am having trouble trying to copying. I started learning back in February of 2022 and still struggling...
Once again, thank you and do keep on producing those excellent videos.

Great opening..... happy new year to you and your family. 3 years in and still loving it.
Happy new year!
Thanks for another inspiring video for us new hams Peter! I am loving my G90 and Diamond BB7V (thanks to your videos!), and have just acquired an AV-20 VSWR meter from your goodselves over Christmas, again on the back of your recent video! I always look forward to my Waters and Stanton TH-cam notifications. Happy New Year! M7WWX
Glad to hear your results. 73 Peter
Excellent video. As a very long term SWL in the process of becoming a HAM radio operator this has given me some good focus.
Great information! Thank you !!!
Thanks for the honest talk. I enjoy simple equipment myself. Much more fun to make do with what you have.
Great video Peter. Just bought a Xiegu G90, 12m pole and a 10m multi band wire. Plug and play. Love the channel.
Enjoy! 73 Peter
Great video Peter many valid points well put. Just bought a Xiegu G90, 12m pole and a 10m multi band wire. Plug and play for around £510. Love the channel.
I am sure you will get some good results. 73 Peter.
Quite right peter a lot of fun can be had with the simplest equipment ,i remember a year or so ago we had a challenge in our club who could transmit the furthest with a pixie trx we checked the reverse beacon network for results as we were only using half a watt .as for antennas i have only one commercial vertical for two metres my HF antennas are home brew in fact one of them is a 20/40 metre vertical i made from your videos works ok 73 and have a good new year.
Thanks for sharing. 73 Peter
I'm currently having a lot of fun with a Kenwood TS-140 I bought from an ad in RadCom and an MFJ-948C ATU bought needing work from a trader at Newark last year. My morse key is the type used with a Clansman military manpack. The only new thing I have is a power supply...other than that, and coax etc., my basic 100W station cost me £190 and a few hours enjoyable work sorting out the ATU. 73, G0CIQ
Good video, I like the way you compared it to photography...You can have fun cheap or by spending $1000's
Yes indeed.
So sorry for a few of my brash, crass, uncivilized, hasty, fellow countrymen. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em. ;)
In 38 years of ham radio operating, I've only ever used wire antennas. I've worked all over the world and had a lot of fun along the way. I've never missed not having a tower and beams and so on. Good operating technique and efficient antennas are the key to success here. Ivan...VE7IVN
Good on you - join the Club!
