The HF Bands are OPEN! Merry Christmas, I will be running another morning livestream on Saturday, December 25th for an hour or 2. We'll do some FT8 DX from 40M and 17M.

Here are the links for today's Christmas and Shopping deals, and events, in Ham Radio:

SporTube makes travel cases for skies, snowboards, poles, fishing rods.....and Ham Radio Antennas! They probably don't know that last part, though. Anyway, this case worked GREAT for carrying my BuddiHex Hexbeam and Mastwerks Tripod down to Costa Rica. It is strong enough to keep your equipment safe when checking it as a bag on an airplane. Take a look!

FT8 on several bands has been hopping lately. This week I have worked DX on 40M early in the morning and more DX on 12, 15 and 17 meters. Today I will livestream some contacts and see what kind of DX we can find.

Today we get to hear from Chris, owner of Buddipole, on the best way to tune the new Buddistick Pro.Link: https://www.buddipole.com/buddistick.html
