UK Operating

[RedStickHam]

Another great video. I've wondered how the Acer Netbook would work the digital modes. Looks like it worked them pretty well. It was one of your videos that helped me get on PSK31, and I've since branched out to other digital modes. Keep the videos coming!

[K7AGE]

@RedStickHam Works OK fine! Randy

[ianchard]

Great video, bring back memories of my ham days :) - Ian ex G7OMZ

[K7AGE]

@ianchard Get you license and join us!

[ianchard]

@K7AGE unfortunately I lost both my licence and my exam pass certificates in a house move, and the authorities can find a record of neither, despite the fact that no-one else has held my callsign. That was several years ago and I've kind of lost interest since then... but still interesting to watch you :)

[K7AGE]

@ianchard Hope you get back radio active

[GW7AAU]

@ianchard OFCOM will accept of have accepted a copy of a call book with a friends callsign listed as prove of being licensed well worth the effort things have changed so much since us G7s got our tickets

Fantastic Keep up the great work, its great to have such an informative and enthusiastic mentor.

[g0fvt]

FT817 is only a "toy" rig, despite that it is one of my favourites... so much in one box. fantastic for portable use.

Excellent video.

Yet another American who thinks England = UK, too bad, and hams are supposed to know their global geography...

[wesmckay]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the UK is actually made up of four countries: Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Anywhere near being right?

[yeayouloser]

almost - England + Scotland+ Wales = UK, + *Northern Ireland* - but the *Republic* of Ireland is a independent nation in Europe - your point being ?

[wesmckay]

Jeez! I was just seein if I could remember my geography.

[kc7fys]

I just picked up a signalink. Thanks for the tip, sir.

[2E0BFJ]

Wish I had heard you Randy, im only 10 miles away. We could have had a beer/coffee!! gary 2E0BFJ

[charliepogi1969]

This is a great system !! Now I know how the web and the Cell phone came into being ^_^ To analyze everything, It was because of the AMATEURS that all of these takes credit for. Hi K7AGE !!! it's your fan from the islands of the Philippines. Keep up the great work cause it's people like you who educates us. I am also a non-active amateur and my call sign is DY2CXP.

[thetubeisgr8]

This is crap! MIC TALK! This is MSN Messenger! Do you not know how to use HAM Properly? I am so glad my dad knew how to use Ham Radio properly! This form of ham SUCKS! Its so impersonal! And its such a cheat!!

[popebenadict16]

[ArkAngelz]

Very cool. I used a similar set-up in 2008 from Lincolnshire. IC-703, MP-1, Signalink USB. Lots of fun on the air as M/KC9ECI

[turklejink]

Randy,

Thanks to your videos, especially the ones on PSK and Hellschreiber, I'm finally getting back into amateur radio. Keep up the good work and thanks for being such a cool "virtual" elmer.

P.S. What topics do you have coming up?

[combatwombat71]

Glad you enjoyed your operating there Randy. I miss the radio activity in the UK. Not much doing here in Australia in comparison. 73 - Rob VK2GOM / G0MOH

[RPD709]

That antenna would work better with more radials and longer wires for your radials.

[JohnLenardWalson]

My antenna is a vertical antenna, because my Spaces are limited, Not so good antenna reception!

[K7AGE]

I just added the link to Gamma Research for the power supply in the 'more' section over on the right. I just upgraded to Sony Vegas Pro 8 for the editing. Great program, it does a lot, I have a lot to learn about it. Randy

[JamesJB32]

Hmm not sure if i mentioned this or not on other videos ya made but i passed my Technician Class Exam on 3/6/09,just waiting for my callsign,was told by thursday ill have it :) .

Btw i really like your videos,they are very informative and helpful.

What kind of scrutiny do you get going thru customs these days with all the ham gear?

[K7AGE]

Very little if any.

[tadop2]

Hi Randy! Great video! I only wish that as a huge fan of your videos I'd been able to work you while you were over here.

Really jealous of the VX-8R. I'm really looking forward to getting one when it is finally released in the UK.

Many thanks for the video!

[g0tmx]

Another good one.. even when far from home! It must have been refreshing to work some different calls from this side of the pond, even if the wx didn't look as sunny..!!

[K7AGE]

We never go to England for the weather!

[ke7feh]

Another "Jem" Randy, Thank you and 73!

[N7COF]

Hi Randy

Great video & good to see you on youTube

73

[sparky42]

Great vid . Randy . Funny how only us crazy hams can really appreciate this stuff. I show some of it to my non ham friends and family just to see their reaction and it seems like they are always waiting for someone to jump out of a birthday cake or something. No this is it , and it's cool. Look at Randy's set up . He just worked Poland !!!!! hi hi .Loved it om . keep they comming. best 73

[K7AGE]

Yes, most aren't too impressed when we can work hundreds of miles with a simple setup. Everyone has a smaller device that can work the world as long as the bill is paid!

[2e0bmi]

Hey randy. Nice video. Shame i didn't know you were in uk. I would have loved to have meet you maby some other time. all the best

[KC2UOO]

Look like you had a nice trip!

[VictoreCelia]

Randy, always very good and useful videos... 73 from Portugal.

Maybe one of this days you travel to Portugal...

visit my channel 73

[Bretty135]

Are you still in the UK???

[K7AGE]

Nope, been home for a week.

[Bretty135]

Aw shame, would have like to meet you. Will have to sort out a setup and start transmitting.

[JTaylor801]

Randy,

As always...thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us.
