January RSGB RadCom is live on the RSGB App. Check out pages 36-38.

It's Saturday, no radio today. Into work for lecture delivery

A sneak peak at my article going into January RadCom.

Little too early for Christmas at work? I particularly like the festive trading ticker, sets it off.

Didn’t really think through the transportation of the mast I’ve just bought. Looks like I’m hiring a truck and driver!!!

One of the problems with having a public profile on the university website is the strange emails I receive.

There is something about the FRG7 That keeps me wanting one, just for nostalgia.

Wife has decided that she wants a new light installed. That's today sorted !

Looking at the rear of the new car, I might be lucky and get a suitable antenna mount here. Anyone have the same?

Picked up my new car today. Think I may change my call sign to my new number plate. AY75TRF has a nice ring to it.

Based on everyone's recommendations and views of the Hexbeam, an order has been placed. Just hope the wife likes it 😳

The joys of being a wizard

Just a typical day at the office, nothing to see here!

When buying your amateur radio kit do you buy in person or online? Why?

Have been looking at buying a new dual band mobile. The Yaesu FTM-310 DE ASP is due out soon. The dealer mark-up is interesting.

Standby for the flood of YouTube videos stating that intermediate licences can now get an M8 callsign.

What a great addition. Viewing archived RadCom editions is awesome.

Ok, a question to fellow hams. Do I go for a Hexbeam or a Mosley mini 33aw?

Wife asked me to put a new plug on the jigsaw. I don't think so.

Am I missing something? Who woke up one morning and said “I know what we need”.

What else do you do on a Sunday, write a piece for RadCom that's what.

Strange day as my sister and her children are at the national memorial arboretum to see Neil’s name added to the wall. www.gbnews.com/news/staffor...

Think it's time to sell the go case.

I was thinking about going to the Newark Ham Fest, but I’ve watched everyone’s YouTube videos from there so no need now.

I cannot wait for the film release. #HamRadio

Just going to leave this here. #HamRadio

I think I have nailed this one. Am I wrong? #HamRadio

Coming to a toy shop this Christmas. Buy now and beat the rush!

Happy Friday everyone.

Well, so far, so good. This diet of eating green stuff is certainly working. As of this evening I have lost the will to live! #BigMac

Pleased to scratch Iceland off the 50MHz card.

Current band conditions in EU

50MHz is open in Europe.

For all the issues, the filtering on this radio is amazing. On CW it shuts everything else out. Spot on.

On the bright side, anyone wish to guess what has returned to the shack today?

No wireless today, sat marking students work.

A bit of FT8 on VHF while the FTdx101 is still in for repair.

Apparently my work laptop has trust issues!

I have a Jaybeam 3 element TB3 beam and think it’s time to change it for a hex beam. Thoughts?

Flashback Friday. My old day job when my legs worked. Orange has never suited me!

Should be good for 2Kw!!!!

A bit of antenna work completed

Another handy 3d printed project completed.

If you are a satellite operator and have not filed an objection against AST SpaceMobile's request to use 70cm, it's time to get busy. There's still time. Don't just sit waiting for other organisations to do it on your behalf. amsat-uk.org/2025/06/26/u...

As an academic, this is not how I expect an email to be addressed to me.

Cracking pass of the ISS and some clear downloads of the SSTV images

Anybody know the drink & operate radio limit? Asking for a friend!

So, back to Yaesu for my flagship radio. It's spent more time in transit than on the air!

Ok, so the repairs might not be repaired! Look at the SWR transmitting into a Bird dummy load. Flat SWR but not on 50 or 70MHz.
