Adam finally made a kit for those of us using real radios! Kidding...kinda....ok, not really, but he is now selling a kit for a 100-watt End Fed Half Wave antenna for Ham Radio and I bought one of these from his Amazon store as soon as it became available.

Ever since the first Anytone Mobile DMR Radio was released with the Bluetooth option, but no removeable screen, we've been wanting a solution to mount this radio remotely in vehicles. FINALLY Anytone has released a Bluetooth Remote for all of their mobile radios, ones with and without Bluetooth, but it is different than what we expected. Is it worth it?Link: http://hr2.li/t8vfh

It is fun livestreaming FT8 contacts when the bands are open, especially on the bands like 10-meters that don't get used as often. I have been working FT8 for the passed few days on 10M, 15M and 17M and I thought it would make for a fun livestream to do some of this again. Join me for the lunchtime livestream today and we will see if 10M is still open! If not, we will go back to 15M, which has been really hot lately also.Links:Gospel Socks - https://gospelsocks.com/My Amazon Store for Gospel Socks - https://www.amazon.com/shop/hamradio2.0/list/NU7AW4QSP5FU?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d Signal Stick Sale - https://signalstuff.com/2022/12/the-signal-stuff-2022-i-cant-believe-i-missed-black-friday-sale/?ref=3200
