And he 152 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.399 said it's a German word or something like that, which means like creative or 153 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.480 something. I don't I don't remember. But anyway, so I had heard 154 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.279 about this antenna a long time ago. He's got three or four versions of 155 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.639 antenna up there.

Are you cleared, Frank? 170 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.840 Yes, okay, I saw you sneezing. Yeah, yeah, no, 171 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.519 I know, I know you did. So. So these are the build 172 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.039 instructions for this thing, and we're gonna try to make that tour where it 173 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.639 is. It's it's huge in that picture. It's it's it's not really that 174 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.960 big, Okay, it's a t um It's it's it's what's it called a 175 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.879 um that looks like the same toler that they have on the ones that we 176 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.559 built our radio, I think Adams. No, it's smaller than the one 177 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.080 on Adam. Yeah, it's about the same as the one on Camp four 178 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.440 a ck, it's about that same size, which that one's only rated at 179 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.840 sixty watts, but this one says it will do one hundred what Sideman fifty 180 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.519 wat's digital? So yeah, so it's about about you big right there. 181 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.399 But I think you just cover the question of the chat Listen just saw that 182 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:05.240 cool undigital. Yeah, fifty watts on digital is what it says. So 183 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.720 that's that's what. Um, that's what we're looking at there. But um 184 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.679 yeah, something like that. Okay, So I'm gonna kind of frank, 185 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.399 I'm gonna kind of let you have the um rain snide if you want to 186 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.200 ya, and I'm gonna, um, I'm gonna kind of do this on 187 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.799 my own so I can see what to see what I've got going here. 188 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:37.240 I need to No, this is this is this is yarn, this is 189 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.639 the this is the wire that I've got a twist. So no, it 190 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.759 does not come with twisted paired wire. This that that's that's what I thought 191 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.240 that was when I took it out of the bag. I'm like, oh, 192 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.039 it's already twisted. I'm like, no, it's not. This is 193 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.879 just a piece of yarn I assumed to tie something up with. I don't 194 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:58.519 know, so yeah that, um no, he's got zip ties up for 195 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.200 that. So I'm not sure what the wire with the yarn is for. 196 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.399 I don't. I don't think so. But you could be right. You 197 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.799 could be right. You could be right on that. I don't think so, 198 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.799 but but you could be right. So, Okay, I'm gonna tend 199 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:20.320 my sawder here real quick. So, no, you're not muted. Oh 200 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.519 wait a minute, Wait a minute, you are muted. Hold on, 201 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.759 uh no, no, no, no, I don't have you added to 202 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.639 this scene. Hold on a second. I don't use this four windows scene 203 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:46.440 very much. Hold on put Yeah, there we go. Okay, you're 204 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.240 in there now, Sorry about that? Paid Yeah, no, you're in 205 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.240 there now. Thank you, Thank you, thank you? Yeah yeah, 206 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.960 silent, Frank, that's you. You say that, Briant, You say 207 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.759 that like it's a bad thing. Can't hear Frank in my seven DJT? 208 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.759 Thank you for spilling means. We could have been Frank free all night, 209 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.720 but you guys didn't want to. They love me, Jason, They love 210 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.320 me, I'm sure that was it. Now, I don't use this four 211 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.519 window. This is for that's dat camera da camera zoom window, which is 212 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.240 right there in my browser window, which is actually that that way right there. 213 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.000 So I don't use this four screen very much on the live stream. 214 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.679 So while you're doing that, I will be watching the chat for any questions 215 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:31.159 and giving my critique and commentary to Jason's batted building techniques. Correct, it's 216 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.480 the only way to do it. It's a lovely way to do it. 217 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:39.240 So all right, So start with a half inch front end, twist together 218 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:45.639 for four inches of long and short wire. Happened front end? So these 219 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.919 I read through these instructions a couple of hours ago. Good, good, 220 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.240 good, I should say, I reread through them a couple of hours. 221 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.519 Yeah, right, probably good idea. So okay, so yeah, so 222 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.639 start with a half inch that's about oh, that's yeah, that's probably good 223 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.000 right there, and then twist for four inches in long and short wire. 224 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.600 Can you can you get the action on camera? There? You go? 225 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.200 Yeah, And I've got a you know what, I think The inches are 226 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:18.919 on the other side of this, Yeah, the inches are on the other 227 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.000 side of that thing. So I have a random wire. The video coming 228 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.759 up on Monday. I'll put probably shouted out at the end of the stream, 229 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:30.600 but I'll answer your question now. Um, it is the reflashing of 230 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:37.720 the router that we used on the last live stream, the mica uh. 231 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.240 I got that router. I got it set to me by two of y'all. 232 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.879 Thank you very much. I do appreciate it. You got two of 233 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.120 them. Yeah, okay. I found my second one earlier this week, 234 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.000 which was which which one I originally had at my Galveston house. So I 235 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.720 need to I need to update that to the latest firmware. And i'd taken 236 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.840 to Galveston later later this month, when we go back down there. I'd 237 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.320 spawn to a couple of emails. I'm bad at emails. I see them 238 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.079 as they come in, I swipe left, and I was going to do 239 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.119 them later because most of the time, y'all, everyone writes me a while 240 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.319 I'm at work. I don't cross work and tank radio. Um so I 241 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:21.359 wait, what's work, Jason? Some of us have a job, and 242 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.920 that you want to go there? You want to go there? Pays the 243 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.559 best. You want to go there, Well, you go there if you 244 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.279 want to. I don't think you want to go there, So I need 245 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:37.720 a drink. Some of us have a job outside amateur radio. Ah, 246 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.519 yeah, my job's outside of amateur radio. Amateur radio pays me very little 247 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.920 outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got something new. I don't 248 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:53.920 know about. YouTube is not amateur radio, is it? Yeah, gotta 249 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.319 get you with smant it's frank, I love it. I love it. 250 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:03.480 Don't say Ryan says, don't say that, Jay were so No, they 251 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:11.240 just have a very hefty um clause about stuff I do. Ah, okay, 252 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.759 so I just I don't mix. Since everyone at working though, does 253 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.880 social media. I don't mind we applying to chats or tweets and things, 254 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.119 but I don't do actual business work. Okay, all right. So now 255 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.160 you winded it, and it says the wine it says to twist it for 256 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.640 about four inches. Start from with a half inch from the bottom and or 257 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.200 front half inch from the loop, I should say, and twisted about four 258 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:38.920 inches. And I measured with my pad down here. I saw I measared 259 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.640 four inches. You have a ruler on there, it's yeah, these are 260 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.680 in these are it's in centimeters right here. But on the under side of 261 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.319 it, there's oh, that's why you flipped it. Yeah, yeah, 262 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.599 okay, okay, yeah, what's the other side color green? I like 263 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.640 the blue better. That's the only reason I have it on this way. 264 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.759 So now my blue pad. Since there's no print on it, it keeps 265 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.519 thinking at skies and doing it infinite. Oh yeah, yeah, so I 266 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.920 gotta put something on there and lock down the focus, all right, but 267 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.880 keep going so okay at the longer end of the short wire towards the remaining 268 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:18.119 long wire. Okay, husting gibbs the Santa clause, ha ha, I 269 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.960 love it. I love it. The twisted section down alongside the toroid and 270 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.599 wrap in the right. Make one more wrap the twist extection. There should 271 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:32.640 now be two turns, two turns. Okay, I can do that now. 272 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.279 One day. We need to talk to Ape and maybe I'll get him 273 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:41.319 on my channel. You can understand why he twists the pairs around the toll 274 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.480 roid. What makes you think Ape knows? He doesn't even know how to 275 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.400 pronounce the word correctly? Ape? Ape is pretty smart and he's actually he's 276 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.839 actually, he's actually pretty he's actually pretty knowledgeable in that. Yeah, but 277 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.880 he's not. But what we do We have to dock them though, linguistics 278 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.799 Miller light. That's I wouldn't even I wasn't going to go I wouldn't gonna 279 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:03.680 go to the middle of light thing. But all right, let's go with 280 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.759 the flat earth theories. Well that too. Yeah, Now I mean to 281 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:11.279 always count the turns passing through the center of the core. Okay, good, 282 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:19.240 boom, wrap the long wire wrapped. A hold on a second. 283 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:26.480 Make make sure I did that right. Start with a half inch in the 284 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.440 front end. Twist together four inches of the long and short. Well, 285 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.039 oh, wait a minute, I did that wrong. I did that wrong. 286 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.759 I didn't read the instruction. I can't help you here. So it 287 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.000 wants me to twist together too. So there's two different wires here. So 288 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.279 is so used to doing that because you didn't use the magnet wire? No, 289 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.559 no, I did. I did. But there's two magnet wires. 290 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.319 Okay, So the last three of these antennas I built together, there was 291 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.559 one magnet wire and you have a loop at the end. And I thought 292 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.839 that's what that was talking about. See, this is real world. See 293 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.960 we have not practiced this. This is not scripted. This is not reality 294 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.640 TV where everything's fake. Joshua says, uh, I've never built one of 295 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:12.319 these, uh intends while reading the instructions. Good for you, I commend 296 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.319 you. They work. And how much smoke did you let out? Right? 297 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:23.920 Yeah, you're not gonna let smoke out by doing doing that. So 298 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:30.000 okay, So it wants me to wrap the long wire, which is really 299 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.759 long. Kyle says, raps go up to down instead of down to up. 300 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:41.000 Uh not according to this picture. I don't know. But again I've 301 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:48.720 never I've never I've never done one that's um you know, uh, two 302 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.960 wires together. I've always done it with a loop at the end of one 303 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.400 wire. So okay, so we're gonna start with it. We're gonna do 304 00:21:53.400 --> 00:22:02.119 that again, the twists we twist the line wire to help reduce interference. 305 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:12.680 Maybe something similar here. Okay, interesting, okay, so let's do start 306 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.799 there. There we go. That's good. Okay. Now did you see 307 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:23.960 um t O's tool for twisting wires? I did, Yes, Like he 308 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.000 was like put it in there and did something like this. Yeah, then 309 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:33.880 like released it. He goes Yep, cheating, but no, it's not 310 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.480 cheating. Kind of cheating. Maybe a little bit cheating, but no, 311 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:44.079 it looked that looked like a great idea. Actually so okay, so boom 312 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:56.039 boom boom. Okay, um four inches almost there? Okay, good four 313 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.359 inches there. That's pretty good right there. Okay, Now, so we 314 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:08.440 got a short wire that's sticking up like that wild hit hell? What do 315 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:14.480 you normally lose for power on FT eight? Um? No? Rely on 316 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:17.799 FT eight for me is I'm using the G nineties, So I'm pumping out 317 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:22.759 twenty watts. I use as much power as my radio will do, or 318 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.480 intenta or the intenta will do. Go. Okay, let's scroll down here 319 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:33.839 and look at that. That's so yeah twisted twice. Okay. Randy from 320 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.240 face page says I have twenty eight new contacts on FT eight on ten meters 321 00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:45.960 and add to my log today. Andrew confirmed and he is one thousand, 322 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:52.720 five hundred and thirty eight QSOs and has two thousand, eight hundred and thirty 323 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:57.519 nine counties. H congratulation. It's kind of cool. Yeah, that's really 324 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:02.039 cool. Okay, hit you off a face page, you'll be even better. 325 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.319 Wrap the long wire to the left, make five wraps, and then 326 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.720 back through the center and cross the opposite side. Oh yeah, five raps, 327 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.559 so one, two, three, four or five and then a sixth 328 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.920 rap that goes under and crossed. I got it then back through the center. 329 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.240 This crossover because it passes through the center of corps, counts as one 330 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.559 rap. There are now two twisted pair wraps, five raps in the long 331 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.559 wire, and one rap crossing the opposite side of total eight wraps. Okay, 332 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.799 understood, I am with you. So, yeah, is this uh 333 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.519 Joshua N five f y correct? Yes, this is his antenna. This 334 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:48.200 is his antenna. I just put two to two together. Is having fun? 335 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.759 Um, that is him? Awesome. So I emailed him and asked 336 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.640 him because I always say things wrong, right, So I said, dude, 337 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.359 how do you pronounce this word? And he's like, here's a video. 338 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.279 He goes and he said, He's like, well, that's a good 339 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.519 question. He's like, here's how I say it. So you can take 340 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.240 that for what it's worth. I don't know, but it's a video. 341 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:15.240 He he pronounced it tough tone to tone, tough town, tough tone, 342 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.640 no t e l n dude, T yeah, I know, just say 343 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:27.519 it slowly, tough tough tone, teln tone, tough tone. He says, 344 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.559 it's kind of fastened the video he sent me. But yeah, tough 345 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:37.599 Tone Wild Cascadia G ninety plus the Daisy rig That is just that film that 346 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:44.519 this weekend. Um Um spoilers, the new wire, the USB wire choice, 347 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.599 must have, must have, oh h Ken Simmons in the chat. 348 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.359 Can you buy one of these pre built if you're disabled and can't make your 349 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.279 own? Yes, you can. He has them in like five or six 350 00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:03.400 different variations. You can buy the you can buy the the wrap, the 351 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.279 the the wire rap by itself. You can buy the kit. You can 352 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.119 buy it pre assembled. You can buy it pre assembled with wire. You 353 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.759 can buy the kit with wire, which is what I bought about. The 354 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:17.960 kit with wire. You don't have. This is twenty six gage um um. 355 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.599 What's it called wire? It is? It is. It's the stuff 356 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.839 that adam uses. What's it called um um um? Pattenna? No, 357 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:27.880 no, no, no, the the the you know what I'm talking about. 358 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.839 I know you're talking about the word. It's not coming to me, 359 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.559 so yeah, me neither, Matt. How much are you looking to spend? 360 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.839 You want a nice radio, so for FT eight, but you don't 361 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.680 want the G nineties, So I'm just offhanded. I'm thinking you're talking about 362 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:48.559 five hundred dollars, right, I agree, Cascadia, it is the perfect 363 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:56.240 set. Two you're my biggest fan, four five, and the sixth one 364 00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:02.200 goes under like that. Um stealth, Yeah, poly stealth correct Steve Stephen, 365 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.079 thank you, Joshua, thank you. Oh josh was in the chat. 366 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.000 Hey dude, thanks for Oh I didn't you. I didn't hear you 367 00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.759 say he was in the chat. Yeah, So yeah, poly stealth wire. 368 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.599 That's that's the word I was looking for. That Pella selth wire is 369 00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.519 beautiful. I would ask Josh. I would Joshua, and I would ask 370 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:18.440 you to join the zoom. You're welcome to if you want to. But 371 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.039 I don't really want people tell me how how wrong I'm doing it. So 372 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:25.559 well, you already have one person on here, well that I don't. 373 00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:30.440 You don't count, So all right, So here we go. Continue to 374 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:36.279 wrap the long wire once it has crossed the core from left or right for 375 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.759 six additional turns. Yeah, that's okay, that's synonymous to what we do 376 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:42.359 with the with the other ones I've built. Okay, so six more so 377 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:48.480 one, two, three, two three, I'm counting in the picture. 378 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.079 There's the there's one, there's two, three, four or five city Okay, 379 00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.640 Joshua, I do I do know now why you don't read the instructions. 380 00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:03.000 I just thought you were a big braid. Yeah. No, I 381 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.279 read the instructions and then I I like to see what are you talking? 382 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.279 Okay, so instructions on building antenna and instructions and a manual for a new 383 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.359 radio or two different things. I like to see when I get a new 384 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.920 radio. I like to see how intuitive the radio is. It's like, 385 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.440 okay, can I figure this out just by looking at it? Do the 386 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.640 menus make sense? Do the buttons make sense? The names on the buttons 387 00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:30.279 make sense? Sometimes? Yes? Sometimes No, that new FtM six thousand 388 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:34.960 from Yazu that I've been using and met my tech prepper man pack menus on 389 00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.240 that thing or whack, Oh, it makes more sense. It's spelled out 390 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:47.400 here to ten to to ten to tell tell tell, I see an it's 391 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:48.720 t E L And no it's not an I thought it was an eye as 392 00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.359 I thought it was toof ten, but it's too tell it's an L. 393 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.559 I'm just gonna say, Josh was amazing antenna. Yeah, there we're going. 394 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:02.799 That's the name from it for now on brand. Two cents for every 395 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:11.160 sale, five Yeah, so I really love in FED halfway antennas on PODA 396 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:15.880 on parts in the air. I've used the Spark plug gear antenna. I've 397 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:21.079 used the pac tena many times. I've used UM. I haven't used Adams 398 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:22.079 Intena yet because I haven't put why. I was going to take that to 399 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.759 Galveston with me last time and I forgot to grab it. I found it 400 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.079 and the car antenna. They were both exactly where I put them. So 401 00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:32.200 I've got both of those packed away for my next trip to Galveston. I'm 402 00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:33.720 gonna put wire on both of them. That's gonna be a video, and 403 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.279 I'll probably take this thing as well. Okay, so two five six, 404 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.039 heya looks good. The more Intendnas the better. And I love how these 405 00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:48.519 inn feds pack down exactly. I have like a the generic bag for the 406 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.640 Gigaparts backpack. I have three of those Feneric bags and one of them is 407 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.839 just n feds and and wired to build another in FED or at least the 408 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:03.799 the linked session set. UM. I messed that up and I need to 409 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.759 start again. What the link section and what I think? Yeah, the 410 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.240 link section. When I when we were at the park that just closed down, 411 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:18.160 Fairfield. I was trying to build the link art and I couldn't get 412 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:21.039 a good read out of the antenna, so I didn't know if it was 413 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:22.480 the base. I didn't know if I cut the wire wrong. I didn't 414 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.400 know if it was the adapter. There was too many unknowns, and before 415 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:32.920 I cut any other wire off, I just stopped too many ideas. That's 416 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:36.039 that's you. You made the right decision. Seriously, Yeah, I mean 417 00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.240 that's you're like, you're in the field, you don't really know. You 418 00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:41.680 don't want to screw something up. So yeah, you made the right decision 419 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.839 for that, and I just need to get out there to start again. 420 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.000 Plus plus one of the other things is, um, you let me use 421 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.960 your fifteen foot antenna or an antenna you're a tape measure, and that it 422 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.720 was just going back and fourth, like all right, I need a twenty 423 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:02.440 eight foot section and then you got to walk again. Um I bought a 424 00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:10.480 two hundred foot metric and Imperial measure. So I'm just gonna do what Mike 425 00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.720 does. Stake it in the ground, grab the wire, just start walking 426 00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.720 and bend down. And that's the length right there, two hundred feet. 427 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:26.759 That is more than anything that we're going to build here. Don don don 428 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:29.400 you're from Texas, so I give you. I give a pass. But 429 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:32.039 he's all like, oh, look he's building antenna that's as easy to build 430 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.759 as a DX commander. That's crap. Okay, d excommander has like eight 431 00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:40.839 wires. This has one. Now now, so now did that wire come 432 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:45.400 pre tuned or do you have the tenant to do? I assume it is 433 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.640 most infed half waves, I don't remember. Most infed a halfwaves just come 434 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.880 with a mess of wire like the car Tenna and the hand radio. Dude, 435 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.759 nintenna just came with a glob of wire, like one hundred feet wire, 436 00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.839 and you just tune it. You can do it. You can do 437 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.599 a twenty meter or thirty meter or forty, or you can even do a 438 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.960 sixty meter or something. You can tune it for whatever you want to um 439 00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:08.640 eighty meters like one hundred and thirty three feet, no, yeah, forty 440 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.279 meters like sixty six sixty five, sixty six feet, one hundred eighty meters 441 00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.680 twice that. So you can tune it for whatever bands you want. So 442 00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:20.640 they allow you, most of these places allow you. I don't remember what 443 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.119 the length of wire. Maybe Josh can tell us in the chat here, 444 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:27.079 but that is a that is a lot of wire there. I'm sure I 445 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:29.519 can get at least an eighty meter out of it, because it seemed like 446 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:30.960 a lot of wire. One because it came all wrapped on this too roid 447 00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.720 right here or I'm sorry, this rapper right here, and I had to 448 00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:38.000 take it all off before I started the video. So, but yes, 449 00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:40.319 it comes with a bunch of wire, and you can buy it. And 450 00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:44.640 then somebody asked him the chat earlier if you could buy it pre assembled. 451 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.519 Yes, you can. You can buy it with or without the wire as 452 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:49.839 a kit or pre assembled, and you can add your own wire if you 453 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.200 don't want to use the twenty six gage probably stilled, so you can do 454 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.599 however you want to with that. So that's that's pretty fun. Okay, 455 00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.119 So let's put that back corn Now he had one of these, and I 456 00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:00.680 thought I bought the one with the s O two thirty nine, but apparently 457 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.599 I didn't. That's okay, that's okay. Honestly, he has one. 458 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.200 He has one with ANESO two thirty nine. I saw it on his website. 459 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:12.279 Honestly, though, I like BNC over s two thirty nine. It's 460 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:16.359 just so much easier to hook up on my antennas. It's just right, 461 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:20.839 push the end, twist once and you know it's locked. Yes, versus 462 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.799 you turn and turn and then you turn the wire a little bit. Depends 463 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:28.359 on what roof and then you turn some more. It depends on what coax 464 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:31.680 you have. So I had ABR Industries build me a coax with a choke 465 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:36.279 on one end. Yes, um, that had an S O two or 466 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:39.039 a P two fifty nine on one end and a B and C on the 467 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:42.440 other end. So I can take the BNC and plug it into my seven 468 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.119 oh five and take the POL two fifty nine and the other end and plug 469 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.440 plug it into say my um my IMPASS two point zero from Chameleon or a 470 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.839 dxmand or if I want to more, some other or some other antenna, 471 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.799 or I can switch it. I can take the POW nine, plug it 472 00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:58.920 into my FTDX ten and take the BNC on the other end and plug it 473 00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.720 into a PAC tenna or a spark plug your antenna or this guy right here, 474 00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.319 And That's probably what I'm gonna do with it. So yeah, so 475 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:07.440 I've got it. I've got to coax it's that bride wrange one I've seen 476 00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:13.039 you might have seen some of my videos, but it's got a pelifty nine 477 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.519 one NB. I love that idea so much. I'm gonna be contacting them 478 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:21.719 and also trying to get the same type of wire. Yeah, but I 479 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.960 know every radio has that p L two fifty nine connection on it. It's 480 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.880 just standard, ye, And I know why a lot of antennas have the 481 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:37.079 same connection. It's just standard and great, but it's so big, the 482 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.000 big. The BNC connector is actually a better connector of the Peel two fifty 483 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:45.599 nine. I'm unaware of why they use PEL two nine so often. So 484 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.840 often, it's just kind of sort of yeah, a little bit, a 485 00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.440 little bit like default. Yeah, And in fact, type in is actually 486 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.800 better to higher frequency. Now for HIF, it really doesn't matter. But 487 00:34:55.960 --> 00:35:01.039 for higher frequencies you're talking about forty nine point two, its type end is 488 00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:07.000 much better than two thirty nine. But for HF it it doesn't freaking matter. 489 00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:08.559 Whatever you want to do. I don't have my UM, I don't 490 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:10.519 have my needle nose here, so I'm gonna try to get this as tight 491 00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:15.239 as I can. Joshua said, you can cut it to sixty eight feet 492 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:22.159 if you want forty meters sixty eight feet okay, that's longer than so the 493 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:27.360 spark plug gear antennas I suggest the question. I okay, cut cut along 494 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:31.960 at sixty eight feet if you want, for if forty meters ordered? So 495 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:36.599 if what's what's bad? I think I got the I I believe I got 496 00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.159 the forty meters. Okay, I just cut because then you need to tune 497 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.480 it down. I'm sure that's normal. Okay, so that's normal, So 498 00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.760 good, good, good, I'm happy with that. Um, I have 499 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:51.159 tried to use an eighty meter wire on PODA, and you got to have 500 00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:53.119 a lot of freaking room to put up an eighty meter wire. Some PODA 501 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:55.639 spots it's easy. Some PODA spots is not so easy. It's not so 502 00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:59.880 easy. At Galveston Island State Park on the Bay side where I normally, 503 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.480 there's not a broom over there, so we could put we could easily. 504 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:07.559 As a critique, UM, side of the tab goes on the bottom. 505 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.880 You can't install it top if you like it that way. Oh, I've 506 00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.280 got it upside down. Okay, that's fine. I haven't tightened you yet. 507 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.159 Hy cool. See we should have brought him in here because I don't 508 00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.559 know what I'm doing. It's okay, did you get that story? So 509 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:24.159 I hear something out here, Frank, did you get that storm earlier? 510 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.559 Um? It rains? I thought I was, Yeah, it was. 511 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.559 It was over quick. We had some hillacious thunder and lightning for like twenty 512 00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:36.360 minutes. My dog was all rubbing up against me, and I'm like, 513 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.440 am I gonna freaking have to cancel tonight's stream because I'm gonna lose power? 514 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:46.280 But it it was electroc no duchess okay, so um no, man, 515 00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:50.880 it was thunder and lightning. And I went outside to see what it was 516 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:55.440 and like the the rain was almost all like dried up. Yeah yeah Texas 517 00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.960 like clear skies now out. Yeah. So Don says we should put up 518 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.519 an eighty meter and fed halfway at the dear Lease. Actually, if you 519 00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.199 guys watch my European Happy Hour, I was talking to Colum about is one 520 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.360 sixty. I want to put up one sixty meter and tenant to the dear 521 00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:15.559 Lease, which will do eighty just fine because eighty times two is one sixty, 522 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:17.119 so it'll you know, it's a harmonic and all that stuff. So 523 00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:20.599 yes, I want to do. I want to do one hundred and sixty 524 00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.480 meters at the dear lease that'll do all of the things. So yes, 525 00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:29.039 Don says he slipped through the storm. Good for you, buddy, But 526 00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.360 yeah, I don't have my needle in nexus. Now I think it's it's 527 00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.639 it rained again. Now I hear a noise outside. Not here. I'll 528 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:42.320 just see a light breeze. Okay. If I had my phone, i'd 529 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.119 bring up on the radar app. Okay. So we're gonna bend this tab 530 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:51.119 down. So I've got it like that upside down the way that so the 531 00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.599 BNC connectors now pointing out. Yeah, that's how I see. I had 532 00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:57.880 it pointed out all I had it pointed out before. It was just like 533 00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:01.119 that, and the tab this tab here was on this side. And he's 534 00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:02.480 like, no, you need to turn it. And I'm like, you're 535 00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:06.960 right, that's his instructions are correct. So he corrected me in the chat, 536 00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:12.199 which is fine. So good. Okay, So there's the BNC right 537 00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.039 there, So we're gonna get let me get a little bit closer view on 538 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:22.639 it right there. Uh put up one hundred and sixty meter full wave loop. 539 00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:25.639 Hell yeah, I might do that. You say that like it's a 540 00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:30.679 joke, but it's yeah, I might actually do that. Uh where's this 541 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.519 chrome? Okay? So yeah, there's a little bit better view of it 542 00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.119 right there. So that's that's what I've got now, all right, So 543 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.800 scroll down to step seven. Place the wire rap toroid in the winder with 544 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.599 the twisted paradowns. I want to go back to my other screen so you 545 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:49.320 guys can see what I'm talking I'm talking about here, Okay, So we're 546 00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:53.400 gonna turn it like this. Okay, law says there is a storm heading 547 00:38:53.440 --> 00:39:00.320 towards us front Flower Mound. It's headed south. That's weird, Okay, 548 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:07.639 I believe you. M okay, yeah, okay, So place that there. 549 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.400 My raps are probably not tight enough for that, honestly. Now, 550 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:19.280 how well spaced you want those? I was told this guy, this guy, 551 00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.519 this guy um Josh in here. He's like he's like freaking Adam. 552 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.880 He's like perfect spaces on his on his wraps. I'm like, none of 553 00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:30.679 my intents looked like that. I think Adam is there with tweezers. Adam's 554 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.400 there with an Adam has a machine. I swear to you, he has 555 00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:36.280 a machine. That raps for him. He's like, no, I did 556 00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.719 this by him. Nobody does that by him. You freaking robot. So 557 00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:45.639 okay, uh, I'm kidding. Adam doesn't have the machine. He's just 558 00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:49.800 done it so many times that he is the machine. He is the machine. 559 00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.320 Yeah, yeah, that's right. Done, confirms thunder in his area. 560 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.280 That's not the way up in like plain, Oh I thought I heard 561 00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.679 Yeah, I thought I heard thunder. Just now it could be along squall 562 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:07.639 line. It's true, that's true. So that's still is an interesting base 563 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:09.840 that he has there. That's a very cool looking rapper and I know, 564 00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:15.079 right, so and this is not He's got like three different designs on the 565 00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.360 website. So he's got a qrp antent on which I like this one because 566 00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:22.880 it just I think it looked the coolest. So okay, I got it 567 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:24.159 to fit in there. What do you know, Oh, he just pushed 568 00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:30.760 it in there. Actually actually on a picture later, he has zip ties 569 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:34.320 on the picture. But I didn't get any zip ties with the package, 570 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.199 so I got one the one. I got this black zip tie. But 571 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:40.519 I don't know if this was already on my desk rid it's part of the 572 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.960 package. So yeah. Now he has zip. He has white zip ties 573 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.760 around in these four holes to hold it in place. And I've got plenty 574 00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:51.440 of zip ties. I don't have any here with me at this moment, 575 00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:55.760 but yeah, well we'll probably finish that off camera later on. Okay, 576 00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.920 place the raptoroid into the liner inside. Twist, twist the twisted pair. 577 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:08.960 Trim the twisted pair at Trim the twisted pair two at the hex nut on 578 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:14.679 the coax connector two at two at the hex nut twisted pair. Okay, 579 00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:17.880 so trind the twisted pair to the hex nut. So I believe you're going 580 00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:23.679 to be either soldering or right it to the hex nut or the the tap 581 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:32.840 that's pointed correct, yes, um so bump oh, and he's got that 582 00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.920 going there. Okay, thread the final lead. Okay, that goes down 583 00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:43.400 there. Trim the twisted pair. I'll do that in a second. Hey, 584 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:52.079 it's take her head. What's up? Ed? Okay, Okay, 585 00:41:52.440 --> 00:42:00.239 get that there and put that back up A new earstorm warning. See, 586 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.239 I don't even get out of the bed until you know a terminado to watch 587 00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:09.679 right right, Texas. I know I want to sat I want I want 588 00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:15.920 to do a live stream from the truck during Monday store watches. Dude, 589 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:21.119 we should red Trimmer was re Trimmer was streaming last week. He had thirty 590 00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.480 six hundred people watching him and he was just driving. And this is a 591 00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:27.679 guy who pulls up next to the car following him and rolls down his window 592 00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:29.719 and talks to the guy behind him because he didn't know how to use a 593 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.559 freaking CB radio. So no, retrim is a great dude, don't don't 594 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:37.960 get me wrong, but yeah, seriously, it's fun. It's fun to 595 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:43.079 watch. Definitely fun to watch. Okay, I'm gonna pull that down that 596 00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:50.719 they're good cheat there you go, here we go, okay, good, 597 00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:54.880 Okay, now it's tied in there. Okay, good. So the picture 598 00:42:54.920 --> 00:43:00.559 there to trim the twisted pair down at the hex nut on the coax connector, 599 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:07.519 so basically right there, that's fine. Oh that's what the string is 600 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:14.920 for, Josh says um. The Atwood rope manufacturer, Carcos will be supplied. 601 00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:17.599 They threaded will go through the winder and the tour roide. These zip 602 00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:22.639 ties will be easier for some Oh so this so this why so this thread 603 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:24.679 right here is for to use in place of the zip tipes. Okay, 604 00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:30.400 makes sense, makes sense. Good. Trim the single lead, yeah, 605 00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:32.599 I did that. Thread the final lead. I did that. Trim the 606 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:37.320 lead at the trim the lead at the top pair of holes. Okay, 607 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:43.440 that's fine. Uh yep, that's yeah. We can do that later. 608 00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:50.920 Okay. Oops, yeah, Edward handytoofed tool is always somewhere. Okay. 609 00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:55.760 Remove the enamel from each wire end a quarter of an inch. This can 610 00:43:55.800 --> 00:44:00.400 be done with a knife for a wire cutter's Yeah, a flame may also 611 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.559 be used, okay, hot sutter. If using hot method, be sure 612 00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:06.840 not to burn the winder. Okay. My preferred method is to use wire 613 00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:08.519 cutters. If I was stripping the installation back up, that's a good idea. 614 00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:10.559 Yeah, yeah, I see you can see that. I don't know 615 00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:14.480 if you guys can see that really in the picture or not. But he 616 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:20.000 has um now I don't have that he has in this um well I can 617 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:23.440 I can go over here, I guess in this picture right here he has 618 00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:30.000 the uh the red magnetic wire with the enamel trimmed off at the twisted pair 619 00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:35.280 on then hen you highlight that with your MAUSM just right here. No, 620 00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:37.559 we're not seeing the mouse on this Okay, yeah, I don't think the 621 00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:42.239 mouse shows up. Okay, but it's on the it's on the instructions. 622 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:47.320 So the the the I don't have that bag. Oh yeah, So the 623 00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:53.199 whole thing came in this this bag right here, and this big ziploc bag, 624 00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:59.119 and it says in in fed halfway portable intended by two tail and it 625 00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:04.199 gives you things instruc. Then it says tiny tiny urol dot com forward slash 626 00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.639 tooftone is the instruction is the PDF file. So that's where I'm getting out, 627 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.760 so you can and the whole thing comes with that when you buy it 628 00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:17.280 as a kid. So one original outlaw says it's hailing and irving? Is 629 00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:21.000 it? Is it really? Well? Is it kind of sad? I'm 630 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:25.920 waiting for that good hail store to replace my roof. Texas never pay for 631 00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.079 new roofs. They just want to store. Yeah, I know, I 632 00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:31.320 need to. I need to uh, I need to get a new root. 633 00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:32.960 I need to get a new roof put in my house so I can 634 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:38.880 put my solar pameels up. Okay, let's see here, all right, 635 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.199 I'm gonna do some enamel wrapping. Go ahead and talk about something. Frank 636 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.960 um are you using that stripper to get the enamel wrapping or not? Just 637 00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:52.320 gonna cut it? No, it doesn't cut it, he said. He 638 00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:58.119 My preferred method is use wire cutters as if I was stripping insulation back. 639 00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:01.440 That's what this is. So I think I'm gonna use my NiFe. Yeah, 640 00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:06.639 because I've got I also used sam paper. Uh you know what that's 641 00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:07.840 I've used that before. I don't have any with me at the moment, 642 00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:17.320 So djt uh doesn't it burn off easily? Probably? Yes it does. 643 00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:22.760 But I'm just scraping mine office or whatever. Okay, that's there. Okay, 644 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:32.400 that's good. Belton, Frank Belton.

So I'm burning it off, 657 00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:43.760 Scott, if that's acceptable to you. What what is the tiny u r 658 00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:49.199 l tiny urel dot com forward slash choftem to u f t e l n. 659 00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:59.320 That's it. That's the pdf file. Um, I'm looking forward to 660 00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.039 it. Belton's a fun show if the weather holds. If the weather's all 661 00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:07.280 rainy and stormy and crap, I'm probably not gonna even go. But Belton's 662 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.519 a fun show. But the the support your Parks weekend should be fun. 663 00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:14.000 Even if it does rain, we can set up the end. We'll have 664 00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:15.599 to go out in the rain, set up the antenta, go in and 665 00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.920 dry off, and then just joining us. As far as I know he 666 00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:22.159 is, last time I talk to him he said he was so I don't 667 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:28.360 know he's it's raining, he's gone. Yeah, he's gone. He's gone 668 00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.159 to Belton every time that he's been, uh ever, since he moved to 669 00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:36.119 Texas, he's gone to Belton, So I think he will probably be there. 670 00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:40.840 But yeah, so I didn't. I didn't like this. Not a 671 00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:46.679 contest, well, plaque him a contest. It is plaque weekend is a 672 00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:51.239 contest, just that one weekend. They turned it into a contest. Yes, 673 00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:53.840 but that does not mean parks in the air as a contest. It's 674 00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:58.119 just that one weekend. So I can see why they did it. I 675 00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:00.440 can. I have mixed feelings about it, but I understand Dandle there coming 676 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:07.079 from you want to get little little awards, Yeah, recognition, Hey, 677 00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.440 Steve at M seventeen projects in the chat M. I don't have any sand 678 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:14.599 paper with me though, Yes, you're right, Sam paper does work better. 679 00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:19.400 Yeah, I use Sam paper. Um. I was I gonna say, 680 00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:22.880 oh, did someone's ham alerts blow up this weekend? Mine? Did? 681 00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:25.840 I saw you on there? It's like, what are you doing, 682 00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:30.880 Frank dude? Like I just turned on the radio and I was just still 683 00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:36.119 trying to figure out if I was getting out Jayson's text. Are you at 684 00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:37.719 home? Are you at home? Yeah? I didn't think at a park 685 00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:42.159 you work, you work ftate at home sometimes, Yeah, I do. 686 00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:44.679 I do. I was like, no, I'm at a park. He's 687 00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:49.159 like, oh, I forgot. It was Modern road weekend. But yeah, 688 00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.519 and I went down to Mammoth National Monument. You know what, that's 689 00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:58.559 a pretty cool place. And it's our closest National Park area. I don't 690 00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:02.679 think I've been down there yet. It's pretty cool. The farmers of that 691 00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:08.119 area were plowing the field and they found mammoth bones, and they found thirty 692 00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:15.880 six skeletons in the area, and the farmer actually donated about less than five 693 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:22.360 acres of land to the National Park Society and they turned it into a monument 694 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:29.760 and where they're still excavating slowly today. But if you go there, be 695 00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:35.199 careful setting up during lunchtime, because yeah, there were a lot of school 696 00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:40.960 kids around eating lunch and yelling and yelling. Yeah. I was playing FT 697 00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:45.320 eight for a reason for a while. I didn't know why I was setting 698 00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:49.079 it up and getting I was trying to record a video. But when they're 699 00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:54.280 around eating, I was just playing FT eight. This works. Yeah. 700 00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:58.480 Did you get to get an antenna up at home, Dawn? No, 701 00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:07.079 not yet I'm buying stuff. I'm trying this month to make headway this month 702 00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:14.000 actually getting uh VHF stuff up at my house. I still got to buy 703 00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:19.079 a last couple of things, but everything's identified. I need to measure around 704 00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:22.280 the base of my house. I know what I probably talk about that next 705 00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:30.119 Sunday in my stream and we will be getting my station up for uh VHF. 706 00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:35.280 M Yeah, good, good, good, Okay, I need to 707 00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:39.519 figure out what he's talking about here. Sold are the female banana plug into 708 00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:45.840 the wire opposite the coax connector? So we're starting to work on the antenna 709 00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:51.360 now, No, we're still on the toroid on the magnetic wire. So 710 00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.280 you said banana plug. I know, well that's what it says, is 711 00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:58.280 banana plug. So I think that's I think he means the opposite end of 712 00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:01.679 the BNC I think that's what all right? Yeah, um, sold are 713 00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:08.159 the single wire into the BNCRS two thirty nine? Okay, so banana plug? 714 00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:14.119 Whater? If he means this random wire? Plans for Dayton will be 715 00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:20.400 there. We'll be at Dayton, um sure will. Other than that, 716 00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:23.559 one night will be at troll Club. Do not know what that night is? 717 00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:27.039 I hope. I certainly hope. So if they'd ever returned my freaking 718 00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:30.719 phone calls. Oh, I thought we already had the room booked. Someone 719 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:35.119 has the room booked, maybe Kyle Kyle has it booked. They require a 720 00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:39.679 credit card to secure the room. I've called them four times. They given 721 00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:44.840 the credit card number, and they don't. The lady who needs to book 722 00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:49.039 it is never there and she does not return phone calls. So I'm still 723 00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:52.199 working on it. I'm still I'm still working on it. But that's that's 724 00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:57.159 the plantat Yes, yes, it's it'll it'll happen. We'll make it happen. 725 00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:00.800 We'll make it happen. Okay, okay, sold are the female banana 726 00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:08.760 plug into the onto the wire opposite coax connector less? His allergies are killing 727 00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:12.480 me, dude, dude, I got hit this weekend too. O. 728 00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.119 Man, I was on Thursday. I didn't get off the couch.

The female banana plug onto the wire opposite 736 00:53:54.360 --> 00:54:00.719 the coax Jason, the radiating end where the banana clug connector will go. 737 00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:08.639 That does not help me. I'm sorry, let's see. Sorry. That 738 00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:15.400 was from Joshua. Yeah, I see him in the chat Um banana plug, 739 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:20.079 which is this part right here, the opposite end to the BNC connector. 740 00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:28.840 Um, okay, on the BNC connector onto the opposite and the cocte. 741 00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:32.760 Yeah, okay, that right there.

I was 746 00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:02.159 like, okay, yeah, I hit my little bit. I don't think 747 00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:06.199 that that's I don't know what he means by that. Sorted the feet on 748 00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:13.960 the plug onto the wire opposite coax connector. Is there a picture? Yeah, 749 00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:20.920 it's all sorted together in the picture. Oh he means over here. 750 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:25.559 Oh it's okay, okay, opposite opposite the coacts connector. Okay, so 751 00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:29.880 he means over here. Well, that's the picture's way down there. Okay, 752 00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:31.280 that's that's what I meant. Yeah, so this is where the antenna 753 00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:36.599 connector. Yeah. Oh you mean the wire connector. Yeah. Yeah, 754 00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:38.280 so where the wire's going to connect to. Okay, alright, alright, 755 00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:42.480 alright, alright. I thought he meant over here because the picture next to 756 00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:46.320 step thirteen and fourteen is the picture of the bn C, so I thought 757 00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:52.880 that's where he was talking C photo on step sixteen. Yes, I see 758 00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:58.960 that now, Okay, okay, we're gonna do that. Then a drill. 759 00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.079 It's out. Benadro is the only thing that works on me. It 760 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:05.920 does put me out, Yes, absolutely it does. But it's also the 761 00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:08.800 only thing that works. I take it to basically take two at night and 762 00:56:08.840 --> 00:56:14.280 go to bed. I know I can take it at eleven and then at 763 00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:17.360 noon I could close my door and I'll take it an hour nap. Well, 764 00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:21.280 shoot, I wish I could take an hour nap. I could take 765 00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:22.320 an hour nap and I get up and it'll be all groggy the rest of 766 00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.280 the day. I was like, I didn't say that part. I just 767 00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:28.239 know. Then after an hour and a half, I know I'm going to 768 00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:39.360 be out, so I time it to be lunchtime, weather permitting.

Okay, 776 00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:37.920 let me put this in here. Don says more rain, more rain, 777 00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:47.360 Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Why is it allergies get really 778 00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:54.519 bad before a good thunderstorm because it blows up everything. Well, you think, 779 00:57:54.639 --> 00:57:58.440 but you'll think you'd be like the hour or two before the thunderstorm, 780 00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:02.840 But me, it's like the whole day prior it's coming. I've been sneezing 781 00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:12.920 the whole day prior myself not usually. Okay, that's on there. It 782 00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.920 could be a little bit prettier, but it's on there. M hm. 783 00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:27.320 Hey, Joshua um, if you want to come on, I'll be happy 784 00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:35.920 to shoot you the link you got Jason's email address case five eh WB at 785 00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:38.599 gmail dot com. Or if you shoot me an email, tank Ham Radio 786 00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:44.159 at gmail, or reach us out on the discord. Yeah, Discord's probably 787 00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:52.679 best. Plenty of soder on their DJT. Yeah, but it whips up 788 00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:57.840 all the pollen. But it's like the full day for me prior. I'm 789 00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:01.800 like dad and sneezing before the winds of the storm blow with all that stuff 790 00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:13.159 in there, right, true. Yeah, I'm the same way. Yellow 791 00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:16.559 haze of death dude. When I was in Houston a couple of weeks and 792 00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:22.039 everything, yeah, oh everything. My car was caked in hollend I had 793 00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:25.360 to take it to the washers just to get the pollen off. I have 794 00:59:25.480 --> 00:59:29.599 yellow. I have the yellow haze on everything on my patio. I've cleaning 795 00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:32.159 it off like three times this week. Up here. Yeah, yellows, 796 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:36.519 it's not as bad up here, but yes, yeah, it's all over 797 00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:40.000 my patio. So okay, all right, that's on there. I'm not 798 00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:46.719 shrink wrapped that to make it a little bit more stable. So let's see 799 00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:53.039 the solder of the single wire into the BNC. The single wire in the 800 00:59:53.079 --> 01:00:01.280 BNC sorder the wire pair bombs. Okay, so it's a single wire in 801 01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:06.079 the beginning. See, you got it. I can do that. I 802 01:00:06.119 --> 01:00:10.199 need to trim that probably no. I was growing up a human barometer. 803 01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:15.559 I knew it was going to be bad now. To be honest, this 804 01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:20.880 time of year, it's gonna rain every other night. So yeah, true, 805 01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:39.159 very true. November six kilo victor. Year round allergies, I got 806 01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:45.000 them. Cats are pretty much my worst. I do not have year round 807 01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:47.840 allergies, thankfully, it's usually just this time of year. Maybe sometimes in 808 01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:52.159 the fall a little bit, but usually it's just this time of year. 809 01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:58.920 So thankfully. What step are we on? We're on step fifteen or fourteen 810 01:00:59.519 --> 01:01:01.639 sorry to the wire into the BNC or restrot or three nights and that's where 811 01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:07.760 I am right here.

It's the same one everybody, f X eight delta. 814 01:01:17.480 --> 01:01:21.760 Nice. Nice someone you can adjust the temperature on if you want to, 815 01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:25.360 I just always leave it at the highest one. But I just realized, 816 01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:30.079 you're wearing a cowtown hat. I am. I haven't been there in 817 01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:36.199 a while. I've been there too. They did have a good Um what 818 01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:42.079 did I like? Bioum? It was a good amber. It was a 819 01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:45.920 good amber. I really really did enjoy it. And then I started keto 820 01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:55.840 heavily a couple of years ago and no more. Yeah, weld Ham, 821 01:01:55.880 --> 01:02:00.880 you're like me, the world's out to get me. Yeah, it's probably 822 01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:06.000 right, dude. When they did my allergy chest, they did the pricks 823 01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:09.039 all around my arm. She's like, I'll be back in twenty minutes. 824 01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:14.800 Holler if you need anything. I said, okay, it comes back twenty 825 01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:17.199 minutes later. How are you go? God? Are you okay? Do 826 01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:22.079 you need an eppepin? I'm like, I'm fine. What's up your All 827 01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:30.119 your dots ran together? Look like my skin irritated just so much. They 828 01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:39.760 couldn't tell where all the dots were. Oh gosh. Okay. I tried 829 01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:45.239 for the while the shots, but I just got tired getting shots all the 830 01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:49.880 time. Okay, I think that's good. Look at that you're doing a 831 01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:52.159 thing it's definitely in there. It's not pretty, but it is in there. 832 01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:59.599 Nothing I make is pretty, okay. Fifteen sawder the wire pair and 833 01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:01.679 the bar bttom side of the solder tail in the BNC side of the wire 834 01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:05.079 pair in the bottom side of the store. Okay, so that that guy? 835 01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:13.039 Um? Sorry too? Um? Is that long enough? Yeah? 836 01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:20.440 It is the bottom side of the solder tail. Tom. The only thing 837 01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:23.000 I'm allergic to is work. Yeah, I hear that. I think we 838 01:03:23.079 --> 01:03:30.320 all have an um a bad reaction to work. Yeah, let's see. 839 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:36.239 Let's see if I can see a little bit better picture of that. Uh. 840 01:03:36.679 --> 01:03:49.639 Okay, it's hard to see exactly how he's doing that. Yeah. 841 01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:55.840 I also tried the the local honey solution for supposedly that's supposed to help with 842 01:03:55.880 --> 01:04:01.239 your allergies. I think it's a myth. I looked at or some clinical 843 01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:06.239 research and like, yeah, that it doesn't work. It's too processed by 844 01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:12.119 the bees to really do anything. Oh, well, there it is done. 845 01:04:12.280 --> 01:04:16.039 I've been waiting for it all night. He is allergic to s plus. 846 01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:23.840 That sounds like, don there's the joke. There's the joke there. 847 01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:31.639 It is so okay, and that doesn't matter. Out of the twisted pair, 848 01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:34.559 which ones we saw it or two? Uh? What do you mean? 849 01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:40.760 So? So so we got the twisted pair. Loop? Is that 850 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:44.119 you're what you're working with right now? Uh? No, not the loop. 851 01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:46.079 The well, there is no loop on this one because it was two 852 01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:49.519 separate wires. Okay, So this would have been the loop. Otherwise this 853 01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:54.159 would have been the loop on another style of antenna. Okay, but we 854 01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:57.840 would have probably just cut the loop to have it where it's two different wires 855 01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:00.599 here, So this is this is where the loop would be. But there's 856 01:05:00.599 --> 01:05:03.920 no loop on this okay. So I just trying to get it kind of 857 01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:16.280 pride into the right direction. Here there we go. Okay. Screws coming 858 01:05:16.360 --> 01:05:24.280 loose said, oh no, it's not it's not It's fine. Tom says, 859 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:29.719 raw local honey. You got to write that too. It's supposed to 860 01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:33.000 it's supposed to be the raw stuff that's not processed. But now, my 861 01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:38.639 my um, one of my uncles is a keeper, and I got one 862 01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:44.000 time the raw with the honeycomb chunks in it. Yeah, oh that was 863 01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:46.800 good to eat. Let's pick it up and eat the chunk. And I 864 01:05:46.920 --> 01:05:51.000 was like, oh, right out of the bee's nest. Huh m h 865 01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:57.960 m m. That would do it. Okay, all right, where did 866 01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:12.360 that go? Ah? I wish he had a bit better picture of it 867 01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:15.679 right there, because it's not But I think I see what he's doing. 868 01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:21.960 So okay, wild hog raw honey on a pizza. Yeah, I had 869 01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:27.119 some honey on the pizza before. You know. It's great on the pizza. 870 01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:35.440 Pineapple, No, it's not pineapple. Oh it's so is pineapple, 871 01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:57.000 ham and halapenos. Okay, then you're doing fairly well, so honoring you 872 01:06:57.079 --> 01:06:59.800 know what. I've gotten a little bit better at it by just screwing up 873 01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:05.000 a stuff, so a little bit better. I wish I was. I 874 01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:09.239 wish I was still more better at it. But hey, practice man, 875 01:07:09.519 --> 01:07:17.840 So yeah, you're doing it all about practice. So it is the winder 876 01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:32.480 three D printed, um it is? I assume that it is pepperoni. 877 01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:38.400 Pepperoni's okay to me, don Pepperoni is the best thing to put on pizza. 878 01:07:38.440 --> 01:07:43.119 It being crushed in honey. Okay, okay. I'll usually go with 879 01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:49.239 more mayor and error or sometimes ranch. Ranch is good, pepperoni and ranch 880 01:07:49.360 --> 01:08:01.800 is good. Ha got pineapple on the pizza. Next you'll say you don't 881 01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:06.280 own a truck in Texas. Uh he went there, he did, I 882 01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:15.079 don't want a truck, all right, is it in there? I don't 883 01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:18.760 think it's in there. We were talking about that this weekend a little bit, 884 01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:23.039 but then, um, I needed some whiskey and we didn't really have 885 01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:27.560 cups, so I did you know the backyard cup out of a m plastic 886 01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:30.680 bottle. I was like, all right, I feel like it's sad texting 887 01:08:30.079 --> 01:08:34.520 asked this, But um, I've been flying way too much. Does anyone 888 01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:40.159 have a knife? Oh gosh, yes, but I've been in a in 889 01:08:40.199 --> 01:08:45.600 the air so often now it's I just stopped carrying a knife. Drives me 890 01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:48.000 crazy when I don't have a knife, and when I'm on own a trip 891 01:08:48.079 --> 01:08:55.359 that I oh, I know, but but I just got tired of packing 892 01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:59.520 it unpacking it. I had to toss two of them. Yeah, I've 893 01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:00.680 had to talk one in the past. It's been a long time, but 894 01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:06.439 I have had to do that in the past. So I'm almost getting to 895 01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:15.000 the point where I don't carry a knife these days. It's just I should 896 01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:18.600 put it in my backpacks. But then it's the same problem. But I 897 01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:30.000 do have a slution for that. One. There we go. I get 898 01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:34.840 it. I got it. Nice. It's not the prettiest job I've ever 899 01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:43.800 done, but it's there. That's an acceptable answer. Forty five autos hotburns. 900 01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:49.520 These days, you get a pass in my book heartburn. Yeah, 901 01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:56.039 yeah, okay, But you can't take a multi tool through the airport. 902 01:09:57.520 --> 01:10:00.960 Uh you're not supposed to. No, can't that. Most multi tools do 903 01:10:01.199 --> 01:10:10.079 have a blade on him, right, true? Okay, you know what 904 01:10:10.479 --> 01:10:15.239 I think I'm going to Let's see hold the capacitor with a pair of needle 905 01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:19.199 those pliers in place, one lead on the center conductor and one on the 906 01:10:19.239 --> 01:10:24.680 bottom. Started the center conductor. Okay, yeah, that's easy. That's 907 01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:32.319 this. That's the sky right here, thread the antenna wire started the mail 908 01:10:32.319 --> 01:10:36.880 banana plug connector to the short antenna wire coming down from the full tool. 909 01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:43.279 Oh okay, yeah, let'stall the heat shrink. Okay, good. And 910 01:10:43.359 --> 01:10:47.640 there's a picture of with the zip ties on it, the heat shrink. 911 01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:51.960 There more zip ties over there on the right. That's that there. Okay, 912 01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:57.439 that one's on the side. He's got that one on the side and 913 01:10:57.479 --> 01:11:00.760 stead him on the bottom. Okay, okay, don said I don't fly. 914 01:11:00.199 --> 01:11:04.319 That solves that problem. Well, that's okay. Here's here's a picture 915 01:11:04.399 --> 01:11:10.560 with him using the thread the zip ties. Okay, good, and then 916 01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:13.640 he's got and he's got these spener on the end of it. I love 917 01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:15.199 these speners. These things are great. You can buy these on Amazon. 918 01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:18.880 Pack Tenna uses him. I've got a bag of these in my in my 919 01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:23.079 antenna bag that I keep. Okay, all right, I think I'm gonna 920 01:11:23.079 --> 01:11:29.079 stop here because I stupidly I packed my needle nose stuff for the trip I'm 921 01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:31.800 taking tomorrow and I need some needle nose to hold this guy in place and 922 01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:34.960 to hold this, uh, this capacitor in place as well. So I 923 01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:43.039 think I'm gonna stop there. And uh but the next um, well, 924 01:11:43.079 --> 01:11:45.439 he's got a lot of steps on this. Let's see blah blah blah blah 925 01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:56.159 blah blah. Yeah, I stopped it step No. Fifteen and I've got 926 01:11:56.239 --> 01:12:00.800 to go to step twenty seven, which that those last few steps are pretty 927 01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:05.119 easy, those last couple of steps. Talking about tunning, No, no, 928 01:12:05.159 --> 01:12:12.239 it's just it's just Assembly's well, hold on m the very last one 929 01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:16.600 discord Now that now that the antenna has assembled, the wire will need to 930 01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:19.760 be trimmed according to userspects set up the antenna in check us WR. So 931 01:12:19.880 --> 01:12:23.279 yeah, it says yeah, oh yeah, you need to trim it, 932 01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:25.479 which it didn't tell you how to do it. But that's I mean, 933 01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:29.000 that's okay, that's not the point of the kit. So so yeah, 934 01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:32.479 I see where he's going with this, and yeah, I gotta finish that, 935 01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:36.319 okay. So I gotta get some I gotta get some better tools and 936 01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:41.000 which I have. But like I said, I I didn't even think about 937 01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:43.279 it. I should have thought about that earlier today when I was packing my 938 01:12:43.279 --> 01:12:47.119 stuff in the car. So we're headed to Big Ben National Park tomorrow. 939 01:12:48.880 --> 01:12:54.000 My wife and I are going driving out there for a week, taking the 940 01:12:54.119 --> 01:12:57.600 RV trailer. Are going to camp in an RV park just outside of the 941 01:12:57.680 --> 01:13:01.439 national park. The National Park has very few r V camps sites. You 942 01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:04.319 have to book them like a year and a half or so in advance, 943 01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:06.279 and we didn't. We didn't get to it that quickly. So we're going 944 01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:09.920 to camp outside the park and drive into the park every day. We're gonna 945 01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:13.000 do some hiking. I've got an overland trail I want to try to hit. 946 01:13:13.640 --> 01:13:17.000 But at least one day in fact, she told me earlier day. 947 01:13:17.039 --> 01:13:20.199 She's like, you need to make sure that you take what you need to 948 01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:23.800 activate the park this time. I'm like, oh, yeah, I've already 949 01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:29.239 packed that. So yeah, but awesome wife, he got there. It's 950 01:13:29.439 --> 01:13:34.159 yeah, yeah, she's great. But uh yeah. So what I'll do 951 01:13:34.319 --> 01:13:38.479 is when we come back, I'll bring my tools back and I will This 952 01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:40.920 is a neat This is just a neat looking intent. I just really like 953 01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:43.399 that winder. I don't know why. I just really like that winder. 954 01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:45.479 So and he's got it, Like I said, he's got a version with 955 01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:47.720 ANSO two thirty one. So maybe I'll get that one next time and just 956 01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:49.960 kind of tinker with it and see which one I like better. So what 957 01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:54.319 are the other holes are supposed to be? I don't you know. Some 958 01:13:54.359 --> 01:13:58.560 of them are some of them are for the thread mounting points to the and 959 01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:03.359 the your mask. I don't think so. Some of them are. Some 960 01:14:03.439 --> 01:14:06.880 of them are thread to just kind of hold it, and other ones are 961 01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:12.199 for he's got some zip ties on here, and he's got like these two 962 01:14:12.279 --> 01:14:19.239 right here will hold down you're supposed to put You're supposed to put this banana 963 01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:23.439 plug around you're supposed to put some heat shrink around that banana plug and then 964 01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:27.560 zip tie it to this part, so it's zip tied too to the antenna 965 01:14:27.560 --> 01:14:29.600 there. I probably should have cut that a little bit shorter. Maybe I'll 966 01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:35.880 go back and and modified that here shortly. But but there's that, and 967 01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:41.399 then of course that's a BNC over there. So it's a pretty it's a 968 01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:45.760 pretty standard in fed halfwave antenna design. I don't I've never built one before 969 01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:48.560 where it's two separate magnet wires. Usually you just loop it at the end 970 01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:53.680 and then twist it, you know, electronically, it probably didn't matter one 971 01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:56.319 way the other. So it's just a different design. But um, but 972 01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:58.920 I need to get my needle nose out here so that I can properly finish 973 01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:03.760 this and go from there. You got a super chat, I saw that, 974 01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:06.840 Christiana. Thank you for the super chat, buddy, he says, 975 01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:12.960 uh. She says, I'm sorry, Frank. If you get pineapple onto 976 01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:16.079 pizza where I live in New York City, the Dawn will put a contract 977 01:15:16.159 --> 01:15:24.920 on you as well. The Dawn should pineapple on pizza's fail sauce. So 978 01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:28.640 okay, go Mike, So I asked Mike. I was like, where 979 01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:30.880 is everyone going to Big Bed without me? He's like, because it's the 980 01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:38.159 only place we won't hear you. Well, you're going to Big Ben next 981 01:15:38.199 --> 01:15:42.680 Monday, Mike, as in like tomorrow or a week from tomorrow. I 982 01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:45.600 think he means a week from tomorrow. I assume he means a week from 983 01:15:45.600 --> 01:15:49.239 tomorrow. So yeah, we've been planning this trip for several months. Let 984 01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:53.800 me know what you're planning, Mike, if you're gonna be there, because 985 01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:56.960 we'll be there. We're gonna drive out in tomorrow and we'll be there through 986 01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:00.840 Saturday. We're gonna drive home on Saturday. So another reason not to go 987 01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:04.840 to New York City. You know what, I like New York City. 988 01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:09.000 It's a fun place to visit. Wouldn't want to live there. I mean, 989 01:16:09.039 --> 01:16:11.640 you'd have to offer me a job paying a million a half dollars a 990 01:16:11.720 --> 01:16:14.880 year to live there. But it's a really cool place to visit. Glad. 991 01:16:14.880 --> 01:16:19.079 I'm glad. I've been there three or four times. And let me 992 01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:26.479 send it again here. Um Discord user Kilo Oscar for uniform x Ray Sierra 993 01:16:27.000 --> 01:16:31.119 says that he bought a tank radio coin last Monday or last Friday morning. 994 01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:36.840 Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I believe I'm cut up on 995 01:16:36.880 --> 01:16:41.359 the order so I saw an order command the other day. I haven't sent 996 01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:45.239 to you yet. Well there it is. Yeah, once I get it, 997 01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:46.239 I'll be happy to put it in the mail. I'll send that to 998 01:16:46.279 --> 01:16:50.560 you. I'll try to send that to you tomorrow. So okay, I'm 999 01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:53.800 gonna put all the stuff back in the bag here, so don't lose anything. 1000 01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:57.159 Big Bend is a national park I have not been to, and it's 1001 01:16:57.199 --> 01:17:01.279 our only national park here in the great state of Texas. Unfortunately, it's 1002 01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:06.520 over ten hours away eight and a half, well eight and a half two 1003 01:17:06.720 --> 01:17:13.279 Lahitas, which is where we're staying. M soum, Mike, what are 1004 01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:17.000 you going down there for? And who are you going with? I didn't 1005 01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:24.439 know you're going. We would have, we could have coordinated something, says 1006 01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:30.880 swing By who t Ray probably tried to swing by with Mike. Oh cool, 1007 01:17:30.960 --> 01:17:35.840 IoT Ray and amp Um. So yeah, this this was This is 1008 01:17:35.880 --> 01:17:39.640 a cool This is a cool little antenna. I like, Um, I 1009 01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:42.520 should have. I was just really slow and putting it together. But I 1010 01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:45.640 will finish it and you guys will see another video. I'll probably do a 1011 01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:48.359 video going through the details of how I put it all together and then tuning 1012 01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:51.760 it. So is what I'm planning to do with the K six r K 1013 01:17:53.439 --> 01:17:56.880 antenna and my car antenna, and I'll do the same thing with this. 1014 01:17:56.920 --> 01:17:59.199 But this is, like I said, it's just kind of a neat look 1015 01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:02.479 at antenna to put together. So, and he's got two or three other 1016 01:18:02.520 --> 01:18:06.119 models on his site, like I said earlier, so it's very possible I'll 1017 01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:10.439 pick up one or two more of those and do a build video on those. 1018 01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:15.319 And m hmmm. I enjoy builds. I need to get better at 1019 01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:21.600 soltering and I need to get better at soldering by doing it. So buy 1020 01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:25.479 more kits and put more kids together and you'll get better at soldering. I 1021 01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:28.520 got a couple of kids I need to build. You got an all Star 1022 01:18:28.640 --> 01:18:31.359 node you really need to build, dude. I'm just saying, yeah, 1023 01:18:31.399 --> 01:18:33.840 well you need to get an all Star mode so you can build it and 1024 01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:36.720 get on. Okay, I don't have any All Stars. I got the 1025 01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:41.880 one that I'm messed up. Yeah, but I've given up Don. Next 1026 01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:45.399 time I see Don, I'm gonna give it to him and be like belt 1027 01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:54.319 Belton, Don you go onto Belton he can fix. So h. Then 1028 01:18:54.800 --> 01:19:00.520 from there I have a d MR node that is currently unplugged and and oh 1029 01:19:00.600 --> 01:19:04.359 yeah, that's that's about it. Yeah, well you know those piece those 1030 01:19:04.439 --> 01:19:11.600 pie boards are expensive to have just sitting around these days, these days they 1031 01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:16.000 are that's for sure, that is for sure. Mike tell Ryan that, 1032 01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:19.039 um, he missed it by week he could have We could have all hung 1033 01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:25.119 out together if he would have planned it one week earlier. So you put 1034 01:19:25.159 --> 01:19:29.359 my sawder on there, turn that off, all right, So you guys 1035 01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:34.920 go check out toftiln dot com toughtiln dot com whatever freaking pronunciation, is very 1036 01:19:34.960 --> 01:19:39.079 cool website, very cool stuff on there. He's got more than just in 1037 01:19:39.159 --> 01:19:45.680 ten as as well. Um just h. He sells Polly stealth wire, 1038 01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:51.600 some other stuff, three D printed stuff and coacts some stuff in there. 1039 01:19:51.680 --> 01:19:59.640 An tu atu ten tuner um like a whole, like a protection case. 1040 01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:09.640 Kind of neat. Here's one. This is kind of cool e f r 1041 01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:15.880 w QRP and ten a long wire. So that's kind of neat. The 1042 01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:19.199 one that I almost bought, which I was I was meaning to buy the 1043 01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:23.359 forty nine to one by almost bought this this uh, this random wire here, 1044 01:20:23.359 --> 01:20:27.640 he's got this uh uh, not that one, not that one. 1045 01:20:28.439 --> 01:20:30.840 He's got a random wire on here somewhere. I thought a nine to one 1046 01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:35.199 random one there it is, Yeah, the random wire transformer nine to one. 1047 01:20:35.279 --> 01:20:39.680 So like that's kind of random wires are cool if you got a radio 1048 01:20:39.720 --> 01:20:43.439 with a good tuner, which I do, which I do. Sorry I 1049 01:20:43.479 --> 01:20:47.079 didn't switch that, but that random wire one right there, that I might 1050 01:20:47.119 --> 01:20:50.720 buy that one next time and once I get used to putting this together and 1051 01:20:50.720 --> 01:20:54.439 then do that on the on the next one. So what's that random wire 1052 01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:58.600 team to? Uh? You know what? I don't know. Um, 1053 01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:02.520 so that's a long and that that will also have a counterpoice for of our 1054 01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:08.800 My knowledge with friend the nine to ones is they require a COUNTERPOISEE No, 1055 01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:14.720 uh, I don't think so, my um My Nelson Nintendo randomire does not 1056 01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:18.600 have a counterpoise. Some people put a counterpoints on an Infed half wave sometimes 1057 01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:25.359 or sometimes you're your um coax connect as your counterpoise. You r Infed half 1058 01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:28.520 Wave says, this is a handmade e f HW antenna with a built in 1059 01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:32.359 ninety one is incredible for PoTA soda portable set up an easy in fag Wonder 1060 01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:40.039 Farerite is a Toroid f one thirty two mix one hundred what Sideman fifty one 1061 01:21:40.039 --> 01:21:45.239 digital Yeah, okay, seventy one feet of wire select assembled with seventy one 1062 01:21:45.239 --> 01:21:49.000 feet of wire for fully assembled wire win was seventy one from around an S 1063 01:21:49.039 --> 01:21:53.680 clip spener clip So anyway, that one that was probably the next one. 1064 01:21:53.760 --> 01:21:55.960 Yeah, I don't think that. No, I don't think a random wire 1065 01:21:56.000 --> 01:22:03.479 requires am and then random wire. It's not really random, no there um 1066 01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:06.960 but no, But a random wire requires a tuner. It's not resonant anywhere. 1067 01:22:08.159 --> 01:22:11.239 That's why it's random, because it's not resonant. And then a forty 1068 01:22:11.239 --> 01:22:17.840 meter in fed halfway cut to the correct length will tune forty twenty fifteen and 1069 01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:21.039 ten no problems. Ten might be a little bit high, depending on how 1070 01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:27.239 the toroys wrapped. But but my pack TENA that might built for me tunes 1071 01:22:27.319 --> 01:22:30.159 ten, fifteen, twenty and forty just fine. My spark plug gear in 1072 01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:33.079 Tenna that I built, Well, I bought the I bought the thing because 1073 01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:36.079 that he done set as a kid. So I bought the thing, and 1074 01:22:36.079 --> 01:22:40.359 I put my own wire on it and tuned it for forty It tunes forty 1075 01:22:40.439 --> 01:22:43.199 twenty and fifteen just fine. And it's like one point nine to one or 1076 01:22:43.239 --> 01:22:45.960 two point zero one one ten, which is totally doable if you have a 1077 01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:50.920 radio like I use so um but but yeah, the random wire is cool. 1078 01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:55.279 The random Wire says, random Wire is cool. Yeah, good deal, 1079 01:22:55.359 --> 01:23:00.520 dude. That's a great YouTube name you got there, so so yeah, 1080 01:23:00.520 --> 01:23:03.000 So be watching for this. Go pick up, pick up one of 1081 01:23:03.039 --> 01:23:08.000 these antennas, and support Josh out there. Because Um, I'm actually working 1082 01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:11.439 on you guys watch my Friday shopping videos. I hope, I hope you 1083 01:23:11.479 --> 01:23:17.000 do. Um, I am working on a new shopping video that will be 1084 01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:23.800 all about Ham made products. In other words, products that are made by 1085 01:23:23.840 --> 01:23:27.920 individuals like you and I, not Yezu, not Knwood, not these guys, 1086 01:23:27.960 --> 01:23:31.000 but um but like DX Commander is a prime example. Okay, Callum 1087 01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:36.079 builds and markets and sells his own antennas, um Hammade Parts dot com is 1088 01:23:36.079 --> 01:23:41.800 one Kadamardi. He builds his own battery boxes and sells him mounts as a 1089 01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:45.439 good example of that. So I'm I'm putting together a video that will document 1090 01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:54.239 websites where there are non corporation, single user made products. Buy Hams for 1091 01:23:54.439 --> 01:23:58.840 Hams for the Ham Radio world can be anything so um but yeah but this 1092 01:23:58.840 --> 01:24:02.880 this will this Josh's stuff will be on their person toof TN tough ten and 1093 01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:09.880 tend also a tri lamb but yes, yeah, yeah the buddy pull up 1094 01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:16.000 tripod. Yeah for sure. Oh anyway, Frank, what's coming up on 1095 01:24:16.039 --> 01:24:19.199 your channel this week? Man? Coming up on my channel tomorrow, I 1096 01:24:19.239 --> 01:24:24.279 am going to take the Microtech router and we are going to reflash it and 1097 01:24:24.560 --> 01:24:29.800 get it working on the amateur radio sub bands and just go through the process 1098 01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:33.720 of getting that done. Um, it wasn't that hard. Took me with 1099 01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:39.079 recording an hour, but I didn't have to mess with the cameras and all 1100 01:24:39.119 --> 01:24:44.479 that stuff. Probably twenty to thirty minutes. It's a tedious process, or 1101 01:24:44.520 --> 01:24:45.760 at least it was a Latin three or four years ago. When I did 1102 01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:50.079 my first Microtech. It was a tedious process to get that thing flashed. 1103 01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:59.960 And it was mostly because you have to use um tiny p XC boot. 1104 01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:05.600 It's started trying to boot off the network instead of trying to have a FTP 1105 01:25:06.520 --> 01:25:15.399 a file server to accept a flash wrong like some some other devices do. 1106 01:25:15.439 --> 01:25:19.399 And I am trying to stall a bit because I want to get a link 1107 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:27.359 to that. Yeah, yeah, I know it's fine. I just for 1108 01:25:27.439 --> 01:25:36.439 some reason stumbling trying to get that next up on thank radio. Don Yes 1109 01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:40.920 I have. I've talked to Sean about some of his stuff. Great idea, 1110 01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:47.039 so yes, for sure. So the video itself is thirteen minutes long, 1111 01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:50.760 um, and it's cut down a little bit. But um, I 1112 01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:56.880 really didn't mess up a lot um. It was just recordings. I think 1113 01:25:56.920 --> 01:26:01.199 if you understand some of the if you're a reasonable attach person, can run 1114 01:26:01.239 --> 01:26:04.720 through this pretty easily. There was just one step in the instructions that were 1115 01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:10.039 kind of a head scratcher. Go ahead, so Benjamin, he says, 1116 01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:14.439 I'm still trying to find the optimal length for ae hundred and thirty six foot 1117 01:26:15.680 --> 01:26:21.640 r e f RW. I just put up infed random wire. Is what 1118 01:26:21.720 --> 01:26:27.760 that is? Okay, one hundred and thirty six feet should be roughly about 1119 01:26:27.800 --> 01:26:33.000 eighty meters. Currently it's about thirty five feet. I'm I'm not getting what 1120 01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:35.880 you're saying there. So you set an optimal link for one hundred and thirty 1121 01:26:35.880 --> 01:26:40.720 six foot infed random wire. Currently it's thirty five feet. It seems to 1122 01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:43.520 two. Okay, everywhere I've just tried. I want to say my Nelson 1123 01:26:43.640 --> 01:26:46.119 intent a random wires around seventy one seventy or seventy one feet something like that. 1124 01:26:50.039 --> 01:26:54.399 Yeah, random wires. I don't know the length on random wires as 1125 01:26:54.399 --> 01:26:58.039 well as I do on infed half waves and off center fed dipoles. So 1126 01:26:58.279 --> 01:27:02.279 your infed half wave forty meter in fat halfway should be around sixty five sixty 1127 01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:05.319 six feet, and you have to tune it. You have to cut it 1128 01:27:05.359 --> 01:27:10.720 and measure it with an analyzer and then make it real long, and then 1129 01:27:10.760 --> 01:27:13.520 just keep cutting it down and measuring it with an analyzer. Two you get 1130 01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:15.920 where you want, two on forty, and then once it's on forty, 1131 01:27:15.039 --> 01:27:18.880 it should If it's a forty nine to one, it should fall in line 1132 01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:23.439 at twenty fifteen and ten um. Sometimes it depends on the tour road you 1133 01:27:23.600 --> 01:27:29.239 use in. Sometimes it depends on the soil. Yeah, is that close? 1134 01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:31.520 Go ahead? Is it close to? What? Uh? Can I 1135 01:27:31.600 --> 01:27:35.560 get it close? Within a three to one tuning on that random wire? 1136 01:27:35.600 --> 01:27:40.920 So if it's less than three to one on those bands, then majority of 1137 01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:43.920 tuners built in will be able to hand correct. Yeah. Yeah, most 1138 01:27:43.960 --> 01:27:47.720 of your built in tuners like your IC seventy three hundred the ftd X ten 1139 01:27:49.039 --> 01:27:54.039 M. The Zygu tuners are bad ass. They do more than three to 1140 01:27:54.119 --> 01:27:58.840 one, but you're you're Yazu, and Icon tuners will do m like a 1141 01:27:58.960 --> 01:28:03.600 three up to a three to one mismatch. So I'm gonna take some ben 1142 01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:10.119 and droll myself. But yeah, so yeah, Todd says he's using sixty 1143 01:28:10.119 --> 01:28:14.680 five point five So the spart plug gear antenna that his hundred watt version. 1144 01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:17.319 You just buy the toroid with the connector on it itself. It's all pre 1145 01:28:17.399 --> 01:28:21.479 assembled and you add your own wire. And he says to use sixty six 1146 01:28:21.520 --> 01:28:25.680 point six feet. It was six six six. I told Mike he should 1147 01:28:25.680 --> 01:28:30.000 buy one of these because it's Satan's number. And I put about sixty seven 1148 01:28:30.039 --> 01:28:32.960 feet on mine. But I ended up cutting that thing down to like sixty 1149 01:28:33.119 --> 01:28:38.880 four point eight sixty four feet eight inches something like that, and I tuned 1150 01:28:38.920 --> 01:28:40.960 it. I tuned it in Galveston. Then I took it down to the 1151 01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:45.239 parking and used it. And that thing is beautiful on forty twenty and fifteen 1152 01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:48.640 and on ten it's a little high. It's a little high, but it 1153 01:28:48.720 --> 01:28:53.359 was a less than it was about two foot less than he suggested it would 1154 01:28:53.359 --> 01:28:58.800 be. But again, it depends on Sometimes it depends on the toroid they're 1155 01:28:58.840 --> 01:29:01.199 using. Sometimes it depends on the ground, the ground soil, where you're 1156 01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:11.079 you're sitting and whatnot. But yeah, it's uh, it's just get get 1157 01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:14.600 a good intent a tuner. You guys who like nano VNAs, that's fine. 1158 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:18.720 I prefer the rig expert. Get the expert rig expert tuner, and 1159 01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:24.920 just freaking start. Get a long ass wire and just start cutting it and 1160 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:28.239 measuring. It's kind of funny, you know. It sounds like it's tedious. 1161 01:29:28.239 --> 01:29:30.319 It sounds like I don't know where to go. It's actually kind of 1162 01:29:30.319 --> 01:29:31.520 fun. You start cutting, You're like, oh, that looks good. 1163 01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:34.199 You cut a little bit more, Oh that looks great. Yeah, it's 1164 01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:38.960 kind of funny. Yeah. If you cut off too much, you have 1165 01:29:39.000 --> 01:29:43.960 to start over again. Yeah. But this poly stealth stuff is really cool 1166 01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:46.039 as well. This uh, this poly stealth wire here. There you go. 1167 01:29:46.800 --> 01:29:51.520 That's that's some good wire. Um, Mike likes the soda beams wire. 1168 01:29:53.079 --> 01:29:55.520 I think that's correct me if I'm wrong, Mike, but I think 1169 01:29:55.520 --> 01:29:58.840 you told me you like the soda beams wire better than the poly stealf wire. 1170 01:29:59.039 --> 01:30:03.199 There's I mean, wire is wire. It really depends on how big 1171 01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:05.319 of a gauge you want and how heavy you want it to be. A 1172 01:30:05.319 --> 01:30:09.560 lot of these soda guys like to use the twenty six and twenty eight gauge 1173 01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:13.840 stuff because it's thinner, lighter weight, easier to pack, it's less memory 1174 01:30:13.880 --> 01:30:17.319 when you wrap it up and Whatnotum the poly the poly stuff wire, it 1175 01:30:17.399 --> 01:30:20.399 says it has no memory, but it kind of does sort of a little 1176 01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:27.680 bit. But I think that the I think the soda beam stuff is a 1177 01:30:27.720 --> 01:30:30.359 little bit more forgiving than that. Yeah, and the random wire in the 1178 01:30:30.439 --> 01:30:32.560 chat says, don't cut it, fold it back. That's good advice. 1179 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:35.399 It's good advice once you get it, once you get it to where you 1180 01:30:35.439 --> 01:30:41.439 want it, cut it because then you have to carry less. And you 1181 01:30:41.439 --> 01:30:44.680 know, if you're worried about weighting, that kind of stold it back, 1182 01:30:44.720 --> 01:30:48.279 it's changing the impedance and it's actually the signals kind of stopping it can that 1183 01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:53.680 you're still when you do cut it though, where you find it, where 1184 01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:58.479 you like that fold. Don't cut at the fold because you're going to also 1185 01:30:58.560 --> 01:31:02.159 change the oppedance. Do like half and then tried it again, and then 1186 01:31:02.199 --> 01:31:05.600 if it that, if you still don't like it, you can't keep cutting 1187 01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:10.880 to that fold point, right. But if you cut right at that fold, 1188 01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:14.159 I had it go the other direction on me because it's chains of the 1189 01:31:14.159 --> 01:31:18.119 oppedence as you twist around. So so you know that fold is with the 1190 01:31:18.239 --> 01:31:21.359 good point where you want to get to. So start working up to that 1191 01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:26.680 fold point. Correct, agreed, agreed, Yeah, what Frank said is 1192 01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:31.479 correct. Music to my ears. Well, sometimes you you know, even 1193 01:31:31.479 --> 01:31:39.159 a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. So so Mike says he likes the 1194 01:31:39.239 --> 01:31:42.920 soda beams better only because it's yellow. Poly stelt is stronger. Yeah, 1195 01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:45.840 it's that's probably true. But that yellow stuff you built on my pack tena, 1196 01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:49.439 Mike, that's too. I really like that to that wire, you 1197 01:31:49.479 --> 01:31:53.600 know, unless you're going to be like in a really harsh environment. Just 1198 01:31:53.880 --> 01:31:59.000 take care of your stuff, man. So and this poly stuff is black, 1199 01:31:59.239 --> 01:32:01.239 you know you put this think this stuff up you hanging up thirty forty 1200 01:32:01.239 --> 01:32:04.760 feet in the air. You can't freaking see it now. It's kind of 1201 01:32:04.800 --> 01:32:09.000 hard to see the yellow Sodomme's wire as well, but it's not as hard 1202 01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:12.319 to see as this is this is really hard to see, so people walk 1203 01:32:12.359 --> 01:32:15.279 into it and they get clotheslined by it. Whatnot? Dude, I had 1204 01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:23.159 a yellow wire with orange flag tape and they just just close lines still walk 1205 01:32:23.199 --> 01:32:27.319 in to it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't doubt that 1206 01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:34.279 at all. The tech gone getting company that selled on Amazon. I did 1207 01:32:34.279 --> 01:32:38.279 buy their wire, and I do like it. It's good. I'll put 1208 01:32:38.279 --> 01:32:42.479 it up there be in tech and go yeah, I haven't heard of that. 1209 01:32:43.439 --> 01:32:48.079 It's one of those random Amazon named Amazon Amazon no name specials. Yeah, 1210 01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:50.880 yeah, get a wire. I wish we knew who made the wire 1211 01:32:50.920 --> 01:32:57.319 behind it, just to see who it is, but Amazon, you know 1212 01:32:57.359 --> 01:33:02.600 all those mythological Randall keyboard smash names. Yeah. I like that. That 1213 01:33:02.640 --> 01:33:08.960 wire that Sean him radio dude put on his infed half wave which was incredibly 1214 01:33:09.000 --> 01:33:11.720 flexible no memory wire. I really liked it. And it was like this 1215 01:33:11.840 --> 01:33:15.279 um flesh orange color, so it wasn't black, but it wasn't yellow either. 1216 01:33:15.359 --> 01:33:19.359 It was kind of like this like this flesh color, you know. 1217 01:33:19.359 --> 01:33:24.159 I don't know how else to say. It's like this this this pinkish brown 1218 01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:28.720 color something like that, and incredibly flexible wire. I don't know where he 1219 01:33:28.760 --> 01:33:34.600 got that. But um, but it's that was you know what I um 1220 01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:41.520 bent ben tech Go is what Ape likes. Yeah, I'm sure, Um 1221 01:33:41.560 --> 01:33:43.720 it's great. So oh, Mike says, great stuff. So you know 1222 01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:45.279 what, that's the cool thing about building multiple intendas. You can have some 1223 01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:48.319 with poly steal, some with soda beams, some with ben tech Go, 1224 01:33:49.319 --> 01:33:54.199 some with some other crap you never heard of, you know, some with 1225 01:33:54.239 --> 01:33:58.199 horse fence that you can do a horse fence intenta wire and then you just 1226 01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:00.840 take them all out to the park and use them differently. You can't have 1227 01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:03.000 too many antendants. Michael tell you this. He'll agree with me in the 1228 01:34:03.079 --> 01:34:08.000 chat. So yeah, it's um, you can't have too many intendants. 1229 01:34:08.039 --> 01:34:12.920 It's not possible. But anyway, so Mike, if you go, I 1230 01:34:13.079 --> 01:34:15.560 agree with that settlement. The more intendants you have, the better because you 1231 01:34:15.600 --> 01:34:19.039 don't know when the one's going to fail. Correct. Yeah. Yeah, 1232 01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:21.600 And I have gone to do a PODO. When I first started in Podo, 1233 01:34:21.640 --> 01:34:25.399 I went out to a park one time and the antenna I had failed 1234 01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:28.479 me. Turns out it wasn't really the antenna. I got home and did 1235 01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:30.600 some testing. It was the connector I had. It was it was an 1236 01:34:30.600 --> 01:34:34.239 adapter I had. This was when I had a B and C antenna, 1237 01:34:34.319 --> 01:34:38.319 but only Peel tifty nine on my on my coact, so I was using 1238 01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:44.359 an adapter. But um, yeah, have a spare if you're going to 1239 01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:48.279 go all the way out there your battery box I made you has B and 1240 01:34:48.359 --> 01:34:50.960 tech go where. Okay, Well, good, well, I'm taking that 1241 01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:55.800 to to Big Ben next week, Mike, So it better not fill me. 1242 01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:59.720 I'm just saying, I'm sure. I'm sure it's gonna be great. 1243 01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:01.239 Mike, go out and purchase one of these. Let me know what you 1244 01:35:01.279 --> 01:35:04.119 think about it, because this is I think this is a cool antenna. 1245 01:35:04.279 --> 01:35:08.399 So all right, guys, thank you for joining us tonight. Um, 1246 01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:12.439 sorry I didn't get to finish. You will see another video or two about 1247 01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:15.520 this wire. I will finish it, probably put it on video and then 1248 01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:19.399 do a video about tuning the actual wire that goes on the antenna, and 1249 01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:21.520 then of course we're gonna do some parks in the air with it, because 1250 01:35:21.560 --> 01:35:25.920 that's what the funnest thing in him radio is right now, unless you can 1251 01:35:25.960 --> 01:35:30.039 go to a foreign country next time. I just got Josh's email about jumping 1252 01:35:30.119 --> 01:35:32.680 on. Oh did he email you? Yeah, I'm not looking at my 1253 01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:38.960 email. Twenty minutes ago. I had the email up and I guess it 1254 01:35:39.039 --> 01:35:43.560 wasn't Autowe freshmen. Okay, I love to get you on here so we 1255 01:35:43.600 --> 01:35:47.359 can critique Jason. Why No, if I had my phone, I would 1256 01:35:47.359 --> 01:35:51.039 have saw that. Oh yeah, yeah, there you go. Oh I'm 1257 01:35:51.079 --> 01:35:55.279 so sorry, Josh, Josh, if you want to, I don't know 1258 01:35:55.319 --> 01:35:58.159 if he's still in the chat or not, but if you want to come 1259 01:35:58.159 --> 01:36:00.039 onto a future live stream, we love talking on him radio antennas. We 1260 01:36:00.039 --> 01:36:03.359 can never get too much of that, So you are welcome to do that, 1261 01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:10.319 work on it and we'll do another stream. Well yeah left off, 1262 01:36:10.399 --> 01:36:14.239 Yeah, absolutely absolutely so yeah. Um, in fact, I might order 1263 01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:16.279 another one between now and then as well. Um so yeah, casey five 1264 01:36:16.399 --> 01:36:19.359 hwbat gmail dot com. Josh hit me up, dude, thank you for 1265 01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:25.159 thank you for making a cool product. And um yeah, you can tell 1266 01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:28.159 by when you pick this thing up and you look at the parts. He's 1267 01:36:28.279 --> 01:36:31.079 he's he's included. Um. I wish his pictures were bigger in the PDF 1268 01:36:31.119 --> 01:36:33.359 file, but other than that, you can tell it's really well made. 1269 01:36:33.720 --> 01:36:39.399 It's it's it's definitely a definitely a it's well thought out product. I mean, 1270 01:36:39.439 --> 01:36:43.119 I'm really I'm not I'm not just making that up. I really think 1271 01:36:43.159 --> 01:36:46.399 that. So all right, Frank, Well, um you guys look through 1272 01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:50.239 me for me on PODA this week I will be at big Ben National Park 1273 01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:56.600 probably activate at least one, if not two or three days. Is that 1274 01:36:56.680 --> 01:37:00.079 close or just far enough where I can get you? That's a good question. 1275 01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:03.439 I'm gonna start on ten meters. Is still on fire, So I'm 1276 01:37:03.439 --> 01:37:06.920 gonna start on ten meters and you and I could probably talk from our homes 1277 01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:13.359 on ten meters realistically, So scattered back or well, it's just it's just 1278 01:37:13.399 --> 01:37:15.960 a high enough it's just a high enough frequency where it doesn't you know, 1279 01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:21.800 it goes. It does groundwave as well as skywave. So um up high 1280 01:37:21.840 --> 01:37:27.680 for that? How I want to do my um my fan dive pole. 1281 01:37:28.000 --> 01:37:31.840 I think it should hit your house, you radiate your house? Good? 1282 01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:35.600 Yeah, good. We're close enough where we probably hear each other anyway. 1283 01:37:36.119 --> 01:37:43.520 But um, okay, there's Josh in the chat. More and better photos 1284 01:37:43.800 --> 01:37:49.279 Well, your photos are fine? Um more would be yeah, you're there's 1285 01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:53.439 nothing wrong with the photos. They're in there in my opinion. But yeah, 1286 01:37:53.479 --> 01:37:56.000 a little bit, a little bit more. But yeah, Josh, 1287 01:37:56.079 --> 01:37:58.960 hey man, email me.
