I picked up an enclosure made for the Icom IC-705 from W2HVH at the Orlando Hamcation of 2023. I traded some emails back and forth with him for suggestions and questions, and now I have a really well-built go-kit for my IC-705 that I have taken on POTA and also to several Hamfests.SPONSOR: https://www.chattradio.comLink - W2hvh.com
This is The DX Mentor podcast. I hope to help those hams trying to move up the DXCC ladder as well as those that at on the DXCC Honor Roll. As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio In this episode of The DX Mentor, our #DX gurus will discuss their first reaction to the recent Dayton Hamvention. We are only 2 days from all of the activity and I think it was important to capture the spirit and essence of this past weekend. The guests were Joe, W8GEX, Mike, W0VTT, and Jim, AB8YK. Joe has been attending #Hamfests for several decades and has also been heavily involved in the 2 major DX activities that occur on Hamvention weekend; the DX Dinner and the DX Forum. Mike was a volunteer in the ARRL booth, using his skills as a card checked to help hams move up the DX ladder. He is also a veteran of #Hamfests, #DXpeditions, and other #DX activities. I was involved in the DX Dinner, the presentation of the DXpedition of the Year award, and the DX Forum. Finally, we have Jim, AB8YK. Jim is not only a DXer, but was the General Chairman of the Hamvention. He will be the GC next year as well.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Over the years I've used the phrase, which I shamelessly stole, that amateur radio is a thousand hobbies in one. I've discussed countless different activities and adventures that all fall under the banner of amateur radio, in one way or another. Since becoming a licensed radio amateur I've had the opportunity to speak with many different amateurs and hear their views on what amateur radio means to them. Based on their responses I've often found myself exploring new aspects of the hobby and discovering new and interesting ways to participate in this community. Recently I put together a list of projects that are currently underway in my shack. I discovered that over time this list has evolved from physical radio activities, like portable activations, building antennas, camping, and going to HAMfests, the amateur radio version of a swap meet, into more computer related things like data analytics, writing software, fixing bugs and learning how the insides of a Software Defined Radio works. That's not to say that I've given up on camping, or any of the other things, just that my priorities have shifted over time as I discover over and over again, just how big this hobby really is. I mention this because one of the recurring observations I encounter is that others are doing the same thing day in and day out. That in and of itself isn't an issue, it's that they begin to describe that they're bored, that they've lost interest, that the hobby is in stagnation, that there's nothing new, that they're frustrated with their progress towards whatever goal they've set themselves. For me, the key motivator in this hobby is learning. Everything else follows from there. That might not be your thing. You might be here for the emergency service aspect, or the hill climbing, the soldering and electronics. It really doesn't matter why you're here at all. What keeps it fresh is trying new things. For example, if you're here for emergencies, have you set up a disaster event simulation in your community, or attempted to set-up your station 100 km from home and make contacts, using just the very basics? If you're into soldering and electronics, have you ever designed your own circuit board, had it manufactured, or even manufactured it yourself, built the project and tested it? What about documenting it and making it available as a project for someone else? If you've climbed all the hills in your state, have you tried doing this across the border, or overseas? What about testing with different antennas, or modes, power levels or logging tools? The point being that it's easy to keep doing the same thing. What's harder, but potentially more rewarding, is to try something new and experience what happens. One thing to keep in mind is that things will go wrong. That's where all the learning happens, so keep at it. So, are you doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome, or are you excited like a newborn puppy, wagging your tail ready for the next adventure? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

What use is an F-call? I've been an amateur since December 2010 and since then I've been active in many different groups and communities. I've participated in several Hamfests, BBQ's, car-boot sales, camp-outs, contests, read articles and used websites. One thing is clear to me. There is a small group of individuals doing all the work and a huge group of people complaining. It's like they never heard the axiom, "Many hands make light work." I debated if I should even bring this up, but I think that in the interest of the future of Amateur Radio, it's important to realise that the average age of our community is increasing, getting closer and closer to the point where they're unable or unwilling to do the work that others almost blindly take for granted. I know I'm in the minority of people doing the work and before you wonder if this is a case of me asking for recognition, it's not. I've had more than my fair share thank you. It's about the notion that things just magically happen. Let me give you some examples of services that you might use. The editor of AR magazine is a volunteer, so is the editor for the national news. We have a weekly helpline, been running for 25-odd years, one guy. Local nets like the Friday Night Technical Net, been running for 600-odd weeks, one guy. There's a guy who's scanning all the back issues of AR magazine, going back to 1933. There's a small group of people providing training, a few individuals are committee members in their local club. Repeaters are maintained by a few people, sometimes just one. The QSL bureau in your state is likely run by one person, contests are likely run and managed by one person, your club's grant applications are likely done by one person, your club website is probably run by one person, the list goes on. I'm not suggesting that everyone could or should be making the same commitment as the examples I've given. They donate their time freely and give back more to the community than they take. What I'm pointing out is that as a community, Amateur Radio is getting older and the gimmie attitude appears to be getting stronger. I think this is a recipe for decline of this great hobby. Next time you use a service or participate in an event you might take a moment, rather than complain, or even take for granted a service offered by an individual, acknowledge and thank that volunteer. If you have an idea on how to further the hobby, to inject new ideas or services, don't wait for permission, go right ahead and start. Who knows, perhaps one day you'll feel that you have a responsibility to give something back to the community that you're part of. As I said, not every person has the same availability of time and resources, put yours to good use, for yourself and your amateur community. Think of it as succession planning. I'm Onno VK6FLAB
What use is an F-call? On a regular basis I hear the phrase "When are you going to learn some more and upgrade your license?" I have no clear answer to that, other than to say that since I obtained my entrance into the hobby by spending a weekend learning and qualifying for my Foundation License, I have not stopped learning. I find myself surrounded by knowledgeable Amateurs on a weekly, if not daily basis who know their subject, are passionate about it and are happy to share it with anyone who is keen to learn. I've learnt about the practical implementation of antennas, am in the process of building my second antenna, have participated in several contests and to my surprise even won one. I am learning Morse, learning about propagation, have begun to learn to operate my own and other radios, have been exposed to social events, HAMfests, am part of the team that produce and present the weekly Amateur news, am an active club member and I still have time to host a weekly net for new and returning Amateurs. So, what exactly does it mean when I'm asked "When are you going to learn some more and upgrade your license?" If you don't yet have a license, I recommend that you find a local Foundation Course, spend a weekend and get your keys to an amazing hobby. If you already have a license and you think I need to learn more, I agree. I'm working on it. QRP DXCC is my next goal, what's yours? I'm Onno VK6FLAB
