Ham Radio News May 2024 

Good afternoon Peter. I enjoyed your Ham Radio Update. I just picked up a FT-710 AESS for my QTH in New York. I’m looking forward to learning how to use it. Enjoy the upcoming weekend and I look forward to catching you on the air sometime. Cheers, Bill KC2KNA.

For the 1st time Peter, I worked 6 meters from my 155ft OCF antenna, have never heard it pick up a single thing on 6 before but, this was an extraordinary situation wasn't it?

Nice bike Peter, Never fell off one before but Ive been thrown off a few times! Lol

Thanks Peter for the news...I turned my 10m moxon to Europe from Cumbria and was very surprised had some good late night contacts...keep up the hard work 73 Mike 2e0ikm

Peter, I have reserved a PW2 and intend to buy it as soon as available, it is the ultimate in amplifiers.

Thanks Peter. Look forward to your updates and videos. Thank you for your contribution to Amateur radio.

As always, Peter, enjoyed this video! Stan - WB5UDI

That massive yellow streak on the lower end of the waterfall on wsjtx was my first clue that things were going south propagation-wise.

Thanks Peter I look forward to your news and updates

Your setup is awesome. Similar to mine. Except I've just got started in RF. Currently using SDR with an upconverter and down converter as I can't afford the high-tech gear. I'm a bit of a noob, but wanting to make a 20M transceiver for morse code so myself and my son can communicate but having oodles of fun with the SDR receiver. I'm middle aged and almost gave up on life. But I had this goal of learning to make an FM transmitter from my youth when we ran pirate FM. Now every day is exciting again. I've subscribed. I spent last night watching a lot of your videos.

Nice tip about checking the local noise 👍

Thanks Peter.

wish i'd know the saving before i bought mine. didn't even get a hat!

Great work Peter. Icom is bring back the IC-718 in an updated version IC-718 72. Maybe you could do a review on it. 73 Joe

Cheers Pete

Looking forward to finding out if the new Xiegu 6200 has a frashright. FM coverage sounds compelling though.

I wish we could have the Yaesu cash back directly in store with the dealers.

I heard G3SED up here in the inner Hebrides, and lot's of Scandinavian stations 5-9+ also

6M/50MHz was Great, Many contacts upto 2000KM on a Dipole at 4M High

6m was open as well!

Xiegu have the X6200 availability 1st of June, €929.00 = @ £800

Thanks for sharing your Paraset Radio and information with us Peter. I was wondering if you know, or maybe your subscribers, if a transcript is available to the public of the Morse code communications of Operation Grouse (Norway) between the commandos and the SOE? Thanks, and 73 de KO4AYC

I have frequency, on 20M, that I can count on. The guys there run an open roundtable just about all day every day. They come in strong most days. I haven't even seen their signals in over two weeks.

Why don't we see regular cashback offers from Kenwood and Icom?

I didn't see anything special on 10m here in Bucks, Peter.

Took 3 weeks for my cash back to come through

still waiting for my cashback.

Great new reporting, no mention of the 145 alive contesting?

Background says MARCH 2024??
