Our decision to use our YT Channel as an Airbnb rental has backfired, as our current tenants seem to have become somewhat comfortable and are reluctant to leave.
Be sure to head to the Ham Radio Clubhouse and see what we left at their doorstep.

We were not skydiving ourselves - jumping out of a perfectly functioning airplane didn't make sense. Instead, we enjoyed listening to Carlos K9OL from @LifeAtTerminalVelocity share his experiences with mobile parachuting and other fun ham radio activities.

Prepare to upshift your mobile ham radio game as we weigh the pros and cons of different rig setups. Todd's journey from an HT to a Yaesu FTM-400 and then an FTM-300 will resonate with many of you, while I'll share the insights and occasional frustrations of our mobile installations. We'll dissect the value of features such as touchscreens and cross-band repeat functionality and how they transform our mobile radio experiences. We'll also discuss the joys of ergonomic vehicle installations that keep our gear at our fingertips.
Join us as we dive into the empowering world of APRS in Yaesu radios and why stepping up from an HT to a mobile rig is a game-changer for avid club members. We invite you all to join the conversation and become part of our radio family, whether you're an old hand at the dial or just starting to tune into the magic of ham radio. Remember, at the end of the day, it's not just about the equipment; the connections we forge and the community we build make the airwaves come alive.

Gather 'round, fellow adventurers, as this week we swap tales from the baseball diamond and sandy shores, to the icy frontiers of Alaska with Jeremy KL7EC of KL7EC Outdoors. Our camaraderie blooms in the chill of the Alaskan wilderness, where we uncover Jeremy's transition from CB to amateur radio, and how this has woven into the fabric of his extreme outdoor lifestyle. From activating parks over Denali's high peaks to innovating antenna setups in subzero temperatures, these stories will resonate with your inner explorer and radio aficionado alike.
As we recount our intrepid escapades — like flying over a frozen Denali or braving an ice storm that tested the mettle of a hex beam antenna — the spirit of ham radio adventure unfurls. You'll be captivated as we share our experiences with the latest radio gear designed to outsmart the harshest elements, share a chuckle over our 'rainforest' tent, and offer practical advice on keeping your operations toasty with wood stoves and buddy heaters amid a snowy expanse.
Our ham radio journey extends beyond the call of the wild, touching the hearts within our homes. I reflect on the unwavering support from my family, the joy of potentially sharing the airwaves with them, and the quirky challenges of learning Morse code that kindled a viewer's challenge. As we wrap up, we invite you to become an integral part of our story — through feedback, sharing your tales, and connecting with us as we continue to stitch together a tapestry of communication, adventure, and family through the hobby we love. So stoke the fire, plug in your headphones, and let's embark on this journey together.Leave us a Review via Text Message!

Prepare to have your antennas tuned to the perfect frequency, as we bring you an electrifying conversation about the future of ham radio connectivity with our special guest, Mark from Halibut. Amidst tales of QSO parties and park activations, we cut through the static of the ordinary with an exploration of the Open Headset Interconnect Standard. It's not just about soldering circuits; it's about soldering connections within our vibrant community.
The airwaves are alive with innovation, and we're transmitting every detail. Get the inside scoop on the Eggnogs circuit board kit that's taking DIY antenna projects to new heights. The episode is buzzing with technical talk, from troubleshooting a clear node setup for truck-based operations to the intricacies of adapting microphones for various radio models. Join us and you might just find yourself reaching for a soldering iron or sketching out your next big ham radio project.
When the transceiver powers down, stick around for the final signal. We're sharing the blueprint for our open-source OHIS adapter, available on GitHub for the tinkerers and builders eager to craft their own piece of the radio revolution. As a token of our appreciation, remember to connect with us beyond the airwaves by visiting our website and supporting our endeavors on Patreon. It's a 73 from our shack to yours—until the next transmission, keep those dials turning!
