Vertical antenna Ham radio

February 22nd, 2012

Vertical antenna for 5Mhz to 54Mhz with auto tuner nice quick and simple.

I do a review of the main features of the K-PO WR 2100. I also explain the use of RF gain when receiving noisy radio signals and how it can improve the signal to noise ratio. In the next video on this radio we’ll test its short wave reception at night compared to a few of my amateur (HAM) radios. Similar models include: Eton S450DLX, Kaito KA2100, Tecsun Radio BCL-2000 Coming soon: Eton G6 Aviator Receiver review and similar comparisons. Mine was purchased from Yebo Electronics: www.fort777.co.za Specs: FM stero / short wave portable radio PLL MW/FM/SW1/SW2*SW3 synthesized world band receiver Free range: FM 87.5-108 Mhz MW 522-1620 kHz (9k step) MW 520-1710 kHz (10k step) SW (1711-29999 kHz) Dual conversion for AM Battery charging function Fining knob&quick tuning UTC/Local & dual alarm time Battery and signal strength indicator Alarm to radio or HWS buzzer Adjustable sleep timer Key lock & key beep Green backlight AC 220~240V/50hz & DC(6-9V) Battery operation jack AM RF gain Treble/Bass adjustable Wide/narrow selector Slow/fast/stop tuning 3.5mm earphone FM stereo/mono selector Line out L/R Snooze & backlight on/off DX/Local for AM reception Int.& ext. antenna selector Telescopic aerial 50 Preset stations / 10 stations per band

Amateur radio station ZL1RU from New Zealand working several European stations on the 80 meter band, including G3UCK and ON4GG. Received in Germany during a DXpedition to the fields on 18 February 2012 at 1730-1740 UTC. Receiver: Sangean ATS-909X with 30 m longwire antenna This is my first ever ZL station heard on 80 m.

This is what I get for putting up a new antenna system for my radios…. Figures,,,, the luck of the socal…..

A LOOK AT CB & HAM RADIO THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT CB RADIO IN THE UNITED KINGDOM BACK IN 1980

Dick Van Dyke, Barry Goldwater, Arthur Godfrey and many others extol the virtues of amateur “ham” radio in this vintage film. I converted this old and somewhat damaged 16mm film to video tape many many years ago when the technology to do that was rather archaic. I have now converted those old video reels to digital movies. Not the best quality but still quite amusing. note: I have corrected the title here on youtube. this is “The World of Amateur Radio” NOT “The Ham’s Wide World” as I had originally posted. I do have the “Ham’s Wide World” also uploaded here.
