Speaker 1 (10:36):
Video about it. While with a few other vegetarian stuff.
So hang on, let me just put my cigar down
for a minute. My my, My research team inside the

sit here and listen to you munch on strawberries.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
I want to apologize.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
I thought that's a great way to do it, by
torturing the rerist of us.

I used one of the antennas that we're gonna be
talking about tonight that I really really liked. I did
a I did a factory reset on my eight ninety one,
and for some reason it came back to life. So
probably my fat fingers going through the menus might have
changed something. That's my fault, not yasers and everything. Still No, no, no,

(12:36):
we're not I'm not. I right put my foot in
my mouth once. We're calling a friend a vegan when
he's not.

tell you know what. You know what video I enjoyed
watching last night? Ka m r D took that new

I should have videos out before field day and we
will be out at field day. I might go live
from field day. We'll see.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Very cool, wasn't that, Shane?

Speaker 4 (22:19):
What you got?

Speaker 5 (22:21):
Well, it's funny you ask. No, just been busy, but
I wanted to. I wanted to toop mon horn here
so some of you know, And I'm sorry I keep
bringing it. Balloon ship. That's all I got going on
right now, So I apologize.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
It's okay.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
We know you have a two way communication advice on there,
so it still fits, and you're getting your antenna higher
than most of us except for Carlos, and that is whenever.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
That's right, a little more experience first, Do y'all see
anything wrong with that?

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, I don't see a nieve Old battery other than
that broken wire.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, yes, a little too much of an air gap
on that.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
What is that a smoke detector?

Speaker 5 (23:07):
No, this is a temperature sensor. So it goes up
in the top of the balloon and then you probably
see my mouth. Oh you can this right over here
on the right hand side. That is a probe that
goes into the balloon to record the air temperature inside. Yeah, okay,
it quit working and we can I could not figure
out why, and I said, you know, what's probably a

(23:27):
bad battery. So I popped the cover off to check
it and I was like, hmm, well that could be
a reason why right there. So there's a manufacturer and
I said, hey, what would you guys charge to read
to put in a new power cable? They said two
hundred and fifty dollars, And after I got myself up

(23:48):
off the floor from yelling, I was like, okay, I
will be in touch. I said, so if I fry
this whole thing by not doing it right. It still
would cost me two and fifty buck release them on
trying to fix the first up, so uh cracked it
open and I was like, well, you know, it's not
really that complicated of a board. And you can see

(24:11):
that this power all both of these power leaves come
up up underneath their strain relief and then they just
order in there. I was like, well, that can't be difficult, right.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Carble's just said he'll do it for one hundred. See,
this is what what what friends are for.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
So I think I did. Okay, they gotta I had
to clean that up a little bit because I kind
of think I got it a little too hot. But
I saw uddered my two brand new wires in there,
and now it's working.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
There you go, So I fifty dollars, Shane. I just
dropped you a link in the chat. Ten of those
connectors are four bucks on Amazon.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
I bought three of them for like two or three
bucks something like that. That's where I got them from.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
I got the man we used to go to radio
shack and buy them for thirty cents.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
You know that, Oh am, I'm just saying, well, they're No,
I did not do math on stream. Amazon tells me
the price.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
So sorry, Joe Britt, I just got distracted by that
picture that you posted. Holy cow, that looks like apes
the Apes lab. But anyway, so yeah, so what it's
like when when hobbies collide? Uh, save myself to hundred
fifty bucks and it only cost me what two bucks?
And I have two spears in there, And the one
that came off of that was the one that's got

(25:23):
that little like plastic fabric crappy top on it. One
one that I put on it has like this, it's
not three D printed, but it's like a molded piece. Yeah,
hold it.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
Well, click the link that I sent without a putting
chat and it's probably that one.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Did you at least put in a brand new battery after.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
I did a brand new bat.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Now your chat the YouTube chat because it's an affiliate like,
so of course I'm I throw it out.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
The man needs to make make forty cents.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
He's looking to get three cents off of that?

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Is that what you guys get on this affiliation stuff?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
God, Joe Bredt like a penny off of it? Okay
for eighteen ninety what Joe Brett did because of that
dollar Mont, how much could potentially Joe break.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Get probably four dollars four dollars.

Speaker 6 (26:15):
Hang on, let me let me click his link here.
Commission rates three percent on that, at least for me.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
So okay, this is the part where Steve goes. You
know it makes us to no.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
Three percent of eighteen ninety. I don't do math on
stream dollars. I'm not stupid. Eighteen ninety sorry, eighteen ninety
so two grand?

Speaker 5 (26:43):
No, it's eighteen ninety, not two grand, but.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Round it off after after taxes and shipping.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
You don't guess commission on the taxes and the shipping.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
No, let you put the nine old battery on your tongue.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Fifty six dollars that Joe right would have got for that?

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (27:01):
Really, I mean, I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
One Joe Joe Brett, ten people, that's almost six hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Man, look at them. If one hundred.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
It's done, that that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Make a video about it, Joe Brett. And that's how
you're going to drive your video that you have to have. Yes,
you have to have this.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's the newest great Without it, that's right, Without this,
your projects will.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
We've already established that my work crew has obviously spotted
my socials.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
So.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
They're probably in the chat right now. Probably, Yeah, tomorrow morning,
come into the office, come into the we need to
have a meet and they'll walk in.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
He's got the three sixty camera set up and go
pro and these film and videos.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Hey guys, speaking of those three sixties, I've seeing quite
a few of them.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Now.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
I'll be keeping my eye out on Interstate ninety five. Now,
I guess people are running these while they're driving for
to make a to make a video about their What you.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Do when you see them on the back of a car, Yeah,
what should I do? Just pull up next to him
for just a few minutes and then honk your horn
two two and then at third two Man they're going.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
They'll take off.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, it's fun.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
Or pull up behind him in the truck and hit
the lights. I don't want to flash them. Should I
flash them?

Speaker 5 (28:33):
I mean you probably see you.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, sure, yeah, because they're gonna walk away from that truck.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
If somebody sees a hammer, do you two point zero
in the chat tell him to reach out to me
so I can finally get him his hat. I've been
sitting over here collecting dust and wait.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
For him to come into the.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Ways.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
We could get a message.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I was gonna say, you ain't got his number? Text him?
I did.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
He was up in.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
That last hand fast.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Was he goes, he's gonna send me a message es
today with a p R S. I'm like a R S.
And it was location, I said, thing signing almost in
simplex train.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Tell him if he doesn't pick up his hat in
thirty days, we're gonna raffle it here.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
We're gonna raffle it here.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
He's probably gonna blame it on me.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
We'll get Shane to sign sign Jason's name to it.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
Yeah, and that from two point zero we can't use
the word raffle.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
I don't know about your state.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
All right.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Put it on amazon as as an affiliate link to
buy it, and then we'll make some money on it.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
We'll make three cents.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Yes, I'm gonna sign it the wish version of two
point zero. We have guests tonight, and it is the
bottom of the hour, and our guest has been has
been patiently waiting, as they all do.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
I would never wait.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Right.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, but he's a good guy, though he is he
is a good, great guy.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
He's a great guy from Reliance, Antennas. I'd like to
welcome to the show Man.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Welcome Sirry, Hey, hey, I thought you forgot about it.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Welcome back man.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Oh man, I'm like four beers deep after thirty.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Minutes, good Man, good Man, After beer too, after beer too,
He's like, is I just keep on going?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I'm gonna go for the six pack.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Yeah exactly, I was gonna go for the harder stuff. Man,
I'm just doing the nine percent old rescue and yeah,
what is.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
What's the what's the the high hot tane version.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
That's the double dog man twelve percent?

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Okay, good last week you an't even glass for that
when he'll stand up by So last week, this guy,
this guy handed me a DALs. I haven't never heard
of it, but anyway, it was nine percent. I dang
a little kick in it.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
What percent does a beer just turn it into whiskey?

Speaker 5 (31:07):
I mean Adam, I mean Sam Adams does a what's
that thing called? They have one that's like twenty percent?
Oh good god, I knew I was going to forget
what it is.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Just because we brought you home. Matt, don't mean we're
ready to talk about your stuff.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Oh no, no, I hear you, man, I'm still drinking.
Don't worry. When I get the number six will be good.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
It's called the Utopias. That's what it is. Yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
I got it.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
Utopias. I've tried it one time and it's five hundred
dollars for a glass of it or for a continuer
of God and someone someone just happened to give it,
give me a sample out of it, so I didn't
spend that kind of money on it. But but the
the so each one of the little containers that they
make is like these. It looks like a work of art.

(32:04):
My internet's not interneting anyway, Matt. What's what's new with you?

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Man?

Speaker 5 (32:10):
It's been quite a while since we've chatting with you.
But what's what's doing on your end?

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Yeah, besides the one we're gonna be talking about today,
not much just hitting ham fast, talking to a lot
of hands out there, getting them on the air, and uh,
testing out lots of goodies. The one we're talking about
is just the one of I think three new items
I have working on. Really, somehow it leaked on the
lab and people someone grabbed it, so it.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Was it wasn't me. It was not me, It really was.
That's what I like about it.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
Someone let the cat out of the bag, so we'll
let the.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
Cat out of the bag, right Mike.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
I was just like, Satan have anything to do with that,
and grabbed it and took a run for it.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
Goodness, Sorry hopefully that it didn't come through on yellows
in Okay. I scrolled a little too far in their
video started playing in my ear and it was really
loud anyway. But yeah, so so I've got the bug
Out many great antenna. Was that kind of like the
beginning of all of this? Is that your your first

(33:16):
around night. Now you're going to like like expanding the
horizons on on what you can cram into these tiny
little boxes.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
No, actually that wasn't the first one. That was the
more recent iteration of my antennas. The first one was
the bug Out Excel, you know, the larger case, more
high powered. I built that for a friend of mine
who was actually retiring as a dentist, and he actually
got stuck in Chili during the wonderful sea word that happened,
the nice little thing where we're all stuck he got
stuck down there in Chili with his U seventy three

(33:47):
hundred my antenna. And then the uh fishing ride because
he was doing fly fishing trip.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
So that was the first one.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
Just terrible, I mean, and that.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Fishing ride doubles not doubles as an antenna.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Mask exactly, yep.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, does yep.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
So that's the bugget So what's in what? What's in there?
Is there just a toroid or is there some magic
there's some magic stuff that you put in these boxes
to make them make it work just right.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
Yeah, it's a double toroid, actually a tour aid within
another toroid, so you get a more mass on there
so you can handle more power and uh works out great.
It's actually like a one forty with a small custom
core inside and uh, a couple of windings here and
there and little testing and she's up and running nice.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Now, Matt.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
So let's so let's talk about the end user for this,
for that, for that, for that particular antenna one hundred
watts plus f T eight guys, see that is that more?
Is that really made for guys who.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Want to run some high power digital?

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Yeah? Would you say for high power digital or CW
as well as you know. It's easy to set up
at your home. You can easily mount it to a
mast on the bottom and get it up and running.
It has a weephole on the bottom so in case
of condensation if you're transmitting during cold climates like us
up north iszzo in the winter when it's nice and
frigid and you're pushing power through it, you know, crase,

(35:11):
the condensation allows it to actually dissipate out of there.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Right and the sun comes out, and you know that's
his thing, and that's what you want. You want the
antenta to breed, you want it to breathe.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Yes, so yep, but the other ones are more portable.
Tossing your bag, pull it out, it's not gonna be broken.
Your rate or rock and roll.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Oh I should use show and tell. So after the
excel does that that that when you moved over to
to create the mini.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Oh well, actually no, you're wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Actually got up and listen.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
Do you just tell me what I need to bring
up that.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
I just went to the standard bug out Okay, okay,
and then uh from there. Someone on qr z's like,
it's nice, but can you make it smaller? Like the
K six a r K one and I looked around
and I found a slightly smaller case which was oh
Shane left now that his word?

Speaker 2 (36:00):
MANI what you do? You say? The one Matt oh
Man Walmart Walmart delivery.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
No, I had to go get my shoe and tail
geez yep.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
So with the small mini, this is the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
It is really am trying to.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
Come up with something for size comparison.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
So I've got a dollar bill I don't know worp.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
In the closet. So this is the iPhone fifteen and yeah,
it is absolutely tiny, and I think the strain really
excuse me.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
The strain relief is so engineered and practical it's just amazing.

Speaker 5 (36:58):
And it comes in and it's swivel.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
That's strain. It's swiveled. It's not like it has to
be a certain way.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Yeah, so nice, I'll dat all over them. So oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
I work with John and he's uh he hits all
the Huntsville ones. I gotta get down to uh over
the Dayton. It's not that far from me, but he'll
be at Huntsville in two months. And he got a
bunch of mine. And actually, Shane if you see on
yours you have the little purge valve. I gave you
a special one, so yeah, yeah, that little amfanol purge valve.
So same concept is though since it's actually sealed, it

(37:33):
doesn't allow water ingrass, but for condensation that lets it
come out.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Oh interesting, very interesting. Okay, it's almost like a one
way valve.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Yep, it's exactly what it is. Yep.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Excellent idea.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
That's such a cool And these are one hundred once
one hundred wat's uh sideband and sixty.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Yeah, And to be honest, some people contact me and
go Matt, I ran at one hundred watts digital and CW.
I'm like, yeah, it's not advertised, and I tested it.
I think I think it was like I was doing
FT eight and I was chased in the thirteen Colonies
and it took me about three three and a half
hours to hit the curry limit, you know where the
temperature of that core hits to a certain level. And
then I saw the SWR clip creep up and I

(38:15):
was pushing one hundred watts and that was in well
Pennsylvania weather. So the high there was like ninety four
in full sunlight with the black case, so can it
can handle a hundred watts at the most. So in
a pinch if you really need to get that far
away FT eight or CW contact, go right ahead, all right?

Speaker 6 (38:35):
Which one for the one point five k amp? But
I got sitting in the other room.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
You get it with that one in Melton if you want.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
And why is it in the other room.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
I've got two of them because they're set up for
two twenty oh and I don't have two twenty in
the shack.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Okay, oh, two hundred twenty votes. I was like two
hundred twenty megas.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I was thinking.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
He's trying to get I'm trying to get Mike from
He's going to keep the band.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Away from us.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
There you go, yes, question from James. James says, why
would I want the off center fed antenna over the
other two? In halfways?

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Actually, uh, A good friend of mine that does the
ham radio, he uh, he likes the off center fed.
It's a lot easier, you know, you could set it
up and he a little bit more more broadband on
the on the band, so it's nicely. The only problem
is if you're in a witted area like up in Pennsylvania,
New Hampshire. Yep, there she is. The problem is trying

(39:42):
to get that other you know, both ends through the
trees a little tough. So doing like a random wire
and off center fed is a little bit tougher to
get those wires up. But do you just put a
mask straight up, keep it down, have the wires about
let's say six to ten feet off the ground, and
that thing works great, awesome for d X and the
three people you know that I know that yous that

(40:04):
absolutely love it.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
So that mask that MI cast, that HD thirty three
foot HD masks, you could put one of these that
really easy.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
That's how I test one.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
That's how I tested the one that he's the new
one that he's going to talk about soon.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
And that thing just no problems, no problems. It's you know,
so between the masks, the antenna, the abr CO acts. Man,
I was winning. I was winning.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
So he was bringing all the chicks to the yard.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
That's what does it.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
So what's the So so let's let's move on to
the new one that we're gonna talk about tonight. So
for those of you that haven't seen it, there is
a new version of the infant half wave and why
fifty six to one, like what made you go that route?

Speaker 4 (40:55):
I was before even listing these and started, you know,
offering it to the public on qr Z. I was
testing out so many different antennas and I was running
it on the analyzer, see which one is the more
most efficient, and I found the forty nine to one
was great, and the configuration I ran, which was three
turns primary twenty one turns secondary, especially on the smaller cores.

(41:17):
But the close second that Mike just needed tweaking, and
I threw it onto the back burner on the lab
was the fifty six to one sixty four works okay,
sixty four to one, but nothing compared to the forty
nine to one and then the fifty six to one winding.
So I tested a few of them and actually sent

(41:38):
it to a gentleman who has pretty much every one
of my antennas. I sent him to because I knew
his elmer was Mike nd two MAK, and I said,
give these two a try, let me know what you think,
and then you know when you're done, you know, destroying them.
Send them over to Mike en to Mak for his
testing purposes and.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Make having that kind of it's it's a nice summer
forty nine, sixty four, fifty. It's something in the middle
that gives you a little bit more flexibility.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
I think he would probably bring in the ten and
the top. The top frequency is a little bit better.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
Right, yeah, exactly, So forty nine gets.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
A little if you cut it, like if you cut
it for forty right, by the time you get to ten,
it's it's it's always a little bit. It's a little
a little bit short, I think.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
For I think it's four.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
I'm assuming the fifty six kind of rather than putting
that coil out there, it's like six eight foot from
the from the matching unit, which normally is what you
have to do to bring that band in. This was
kind of that this different winding kind of does that
for you. If I'm understanding it.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Correctly correct all the higher bands, you know, the SWR
dropped beautifully. I don't think Mike threw it on his
video when he highlighted it the first time, but he
sent me his Nano VNA's and it's like, there's there's
no real you know, high peaks on the higher portion
of the band. And then I found out later that

(43:03):
when you're running it a certain way. Horizontal is the
best way to run the fifty six to one, So
trade a popular belief. Yeah, so give that truck, give
that a try. Is instead of doing like an inverted
L or inverted V, it is a flat top, you know,
horizontal at a high.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
I was just gonna say, I did it as the
inverted V, and then I did it as the end
as a sloper.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
That's what to say. I usually do him as a
sloper with the feed point like six eight inches off
the ground. But you're saying your flat top is actually better,
a better way to run him.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Yeah, so forty nine to one, forget you put that
up on flat top and you're gonna have to readjust
that radiating element. It just boggers it.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
So I could take my two masks, so I could
take my telescoping mass on one end, I could take
the HD thirty three on the other end, and and
n that's oh man, yeah, world, ye experimentation.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
I love the smell. That's that's a great think about
the hobby, experimenting. And that's why I was messing around
with these. And there's some other little antennas. I built
that around the wild like a sixteen to one, terminated
and fed, and I didn't know anyone wanted one. They
reached out to me, I think, even after the Clubhouse
and said, hey, can you make this? And I'm like,
I've never made one. Let me build it and test
it and then I'll get it out to you.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
And I did my.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Beer.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
He can dream it up, I can make it. So
are are these beer?

Speaker 4 (44:30):
So?

Speaker 2 (44:30):
All these made in house?

Speaker 4 (44:33):
You?

Speaker 5 (44:33):
I mean, I'm assuming. I mean you probably have to
order the cases and everything for him. But everything's built.
Everything's hand built there at your place.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Everything handbuilt. These are tons of wild toroids right here.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
While so while you're watching everyone's videos, you're winding toroids,
right you're watching Clubhouse. While you're watching Clubhouse. This is
what you're doing with your hands.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
I'll be like Popeye soon.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
To say, are you handwinding all those? Or do you have?

Speaker 4 (45:02):
Yeah? I tried. I saw someone I had a machine
and I gave that a whirl. And it depends on
different ones, like, uh, let's see.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Did you not like the tighten how it came out?
What was I would think if the machine is calibra
or can it give you what you want?

Speaker 2 (45:20):
The machine?

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Well, it can't do something like this where it's you know,
a one to one show where one way you're gonna
in big at me.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
Yeah, that's pretty at that.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
That's pretty fancy and stuff that's professional.

Speaker 5 (45:37):
Right there, it looks like he's wound a couple of those.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
It's just one or too little, but there's no like
loops in the middle.

Speaker 5 (45:45):
So yeah, that is awesome.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
And then, uh, I shouldn't have talked about it. But
I'm working on a Ribakov messing around with that. So
the machine really doesn't wind double pears or triple pairs
that well, we can, I zume me.

Speaker 5 (46:02):
You don't like being this interer of attention.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Oh no, my god, So no machines would be nice.
But yeah, these are all hand wound and everything.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
So we have a couple of discount codes and we're
gonna we need to chat about it. We've had one
for quite some time and I don't know why it
hadn't got mentioned, but w two h R C at
Reliance Antenna. Let's get you ten percent off anything in
the store.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Anything, guys, is anything anything anything? It's running until Matt
forgets about it, and it's.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
Just exactly oh wait, wait, but he's got some really not.
I mean you can buy you can buy the the
entire thing built just like this, or you can buy
just this if you have your own wire, I mean,
just choose your own adventure. And like I said, the
the quality on this stuff is top notch. So but

(46:55):
if you want a fifty six to one, we actually
fifteen percent off of that one. So if you'd like
one of these, there you go. We're gonna give away.
Which one we're gonna give away tonight? We either a
forty nine to one or fifty six to one.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Wow, just we'll give it up to them their choice,
whatever one they want.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Whichever one you'd like, we already whiskey to hotel room
Charlie five six one.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
That's the fifteen percent off of the fifty six to
one case.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
It still works whenever the podcast.

Speaker 5 (47:28):
Finally, if the podcast, if the podcast ever makes it out, yes, exactly.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Hey, Matt, So let's ask So let's just tell the
group if they're going to just buy the antenna but
not the wire, yeap, what would you reckon? Hey, I
got a whole bunch of wire in the in the
junk box and the milk rate.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Whatever, what do you suggest for a length so they
can experiment and.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
You know, what do you recommend? So I'd recommend if
you want to do like forty through ten, Uh, cut
it for like what I do, sixty seven and a
half feet and you fold it at sixty seven so
you got that little tail so you can adjust it. Uh.
Some people only want to do CW. There's a lot
of CW apps out there, like Ham Radio Duo, and
the way they like it is, you know, you can

(48:15):
get it shorter, so gives them the option to lengthy
a little bit, so then you're more into the UH
to the CW digital portion of that band. Or if
you only do inside uh, you know SSB voice. You
know you may want to shorten that wire a little
bit and then cut that tail a little bit, but
don't cut it all off. You want to fold it
first and then cut.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Off a little word keywords right up and the strain release.
He sells the strain release separately if you need them.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Again. This guy has everything in a store.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
It's a fun it's fun stuff and if you need
it all, it's all there for you. If you want
to experiment and do a little your own, he gives
you the he gives you the supply is one of
the few stores that I really really really like.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
I'll up.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
I mean, why you put that picture from me?

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Finally it's not me after five years.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
That's a damn good picture. I will tell you. That's
the damn that's a damn good picture. I get that.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Oh, thank you, Yeah back in the day.

Speaker 6 (49:14):
Now, I see you have co X on your website too, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
A little bit, yep. I'm trying to get a source
in the in America. It's hard to find for LM
R two forty ultra flexes, which is you know what.
I run might reach out to a b R to
get a you know them.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
Yeah, I really love I will tell you, Matt, I
really we know a guy.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (49:37):
Guy it happens to live like forty five minutes from
maybe your.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
You might know M as well. He might have dropped
time on here until.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
Us, right.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
His first name begins with the letter M. Yeah, there's
a couple of higgs.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
I see we have some some starred comments in there,
so go fire away anytime he wants to you or
whoever's doing that.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I'll just throw the questions in there for you.

Speaker 5 (50:07):
Okay. So Julie wants to know if you sell kids.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
I do plan to make kits in the future. The
problem is I do classes for Ham Radio clubs, obviously
roughly within an hour from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. But the
problem with kits is building it in this small little case.
It took me some time to learn that good of soldering,
and I used to do soldering on laptops, computers, things

(50:34):
of that such. So yeah, there, we'll have to bring
only only selling kids. If you buy that, you know,
buy the product with the affiliate, we're.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Gonna We're gonna sell a hundred We're gonna for you.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Yeah, no kidding.

Speaker 4 (50:50):
So no, I'm thinking about doing kids, but in a
slightly larger, larger case. On there. And I've done builds
for Ham Radio clubs and it was interesting. It was scary.
Someone melted the whole side of the case and they go,
is it going to work? I go, yeah, but uh.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
It's a huge long resistance contacts and contact. It's guaranteed
to work once ye, it's on a nice dry day.
Might want to get some epoxy and seal that back up.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Excellent questions.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
So that that's in the future, but it's going to
be larger than unfortunately this case, because it would be
a little tough to build.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
And then Jody says, it's curious about the toy roid
crocheting machine.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Is I like that?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
The crocheting machine?

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Right right, here's the toroid crochet I was.

Speaker 5 (51:47):
I'm scrolling back through here to try to find more.
Did we miss any don't think I missed it? Holy
holy cow, super chat batman.

Speaker 4 (51:56):
Let's see, all right, we're.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
At the top of the hour, close enough to it.
We're gonna give away something. I need one of you
guys to come up with something, uh, a fun word
and you can put in our private chat. Should we
used to give this away?

Speaker 2 (52:15):

You probably figure out how He's right.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
He.

Speaker 5 (57:29):

Speaker 2 (57:32):
At least one maybe once.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
A Morse code.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
Oh that would have been a better idea. Oh yeah,
so when when do you is the Rabbikov still in
in beta testing or is it kind of still a
thought or what are you thinking? Maybe six months from
now it'll be ready to go.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
Hasn't even left the lab. I have about four that
I'm making that I'm going to send out to uh
people that are actually still in the chat, so they'll
be getting a mysterious beta testing antenna. And let me
know how crappy it is.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
I know a guy they guy, don't made it until
we tell you. Yeah, don't tell everyone. How long have
you been doing this and what made you say I'm
going to make an antenna.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
I've been doing this, uhof just as a part time
fun gig, trying to get more people on the air,
probably about two and a half three years. Building antenna
is probably about five until I perfected it and uh
then a lot a lot of testing and I thought
this is great, I can do more radio and uh,
you know, get an excuse to get out there. And

(58:40):
to be honest, it's the opposite. It's I'm stuck behind
a desk building antennas then going out and playing. So
if you know, if you have any children, send them
my way. I'll be like Santa's workshop. I need little
hands to uh.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
Oh, someone's posting more on there.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
We don't do more on stream here.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
I don't know if the bot will will be able
to decode that or not?

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Probably not, Thank you telling about it? Why you tag
me into vegemat that?

Speaker 5 (59:23):

guest on this.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
Yeah, people who have never seen this show ever before,
all of a sudden want a new antenna.

Speaker 4 (59:59):

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
It's been a minute since we've had a couple hundred
on here. It was we were just think it's one
of the big radio giveaways. We had like two hundred
people on the stream. We're not like Jason who gets
like a thousand people watching when he gives away a radio.

Speaker 6 (01:00:38):
Well, he also pushes that he's doing a get radio
giveaway for about a month, so that's true.

Speaker 5 (01:00:45):
We like to keep it on the d L so
that people who are here most of the time, family,
they get a better shot at it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):

All right, we're at eighty five. Should I push the
button at ninety?

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):

Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
Can we get to ninety's? That's always I didn't voted twice.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
At least I'm honest. I got another man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):

I don't want to put my It's not fair that
that I.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
I can't win anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
I was the first one to put it in.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
If I do it, then we got to do a
raffle to give it away. Then we can't use that word. Stop,
it's not a.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
Not a raffle.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):

Then?

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):

Because then we really have to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):

up and don't tell you what account it's coming from, right, Wait,
what the heck is that I just swiped to delete
without even unlocking my phone.

And so I learned through genails just to just to
put that account silent for a while.

Speaker 6 (01:04:26):
That's what I was say, that's the nice thing about
an android. It tells you which account's coming from. And

five hundred wants ye yeah, oh in three hundred wats
digital yep.

Speaker 4 (01:09:21):
If you're using the eighteen gauge yep. Yeah. All right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):

Speaker 5 (01:14:51):
If you will rewind the show? We actually talked about
the tennis, but okay about you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
I don't think the title said, well, welcome to the show.
We talk about nothing and everything.

Speaker 5 (01:15:09):
Sometimes it's radio. Sometimes sometimes it takes us until like
the second hour to get to the topic. But you know,
I like Jeff's got one in there, says Damn Gina. Yep,
it's good.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
It's a very scattered show. Yeah, oh wait a minute.
Eighty one eighty one.

Speaker 5 (01:16:15):
So ke Ken has a question, says, on the fifty
six to one wire gauge, would you recommend yep?

Speaker 4 (01:16:21):
I actually just responded, so I threw it in the chat,
but I recommend the twenty six gauge poly stealth. I
have teflon wire that's coming in, but this is a
new winder I have that's going to hold the actual
to roid and not the to roid the antenna on
here using shockchord. I just didn't get a chance to
put the shot cord on. Similar to this. Okay, okay,

(01:16:42):
almost knocked through my beer. Oh I'll call it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
I just said.

Speaker 4 (01:16:48):
So this is twenty six gage Polystell sixty seven and
a half feet. It wraps it over real nice. And
then the shock cord where you have those that little
hole there will go across and actually hold it on there.
So you can have this hanging from a tree and
you'll see it because it's you know, bright.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
R and bright orange. No.

Speaker 5 (01:17:06):
Yeah, say they're going to run into.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
It, that's right. So twenty six gauge polystell. That's what
I recommend for the fifty six to one unless you
want a little more durable than get twenty two gauge.
But I'm going to be adding teflon antenna wire, which
is similar to soda beams, just a little bit more durable.
I was testing with manufacturers of that, and a few

(01:17:31):
people have it. I think I sent it to mic.
I think that's the yellow one you're using their MIC
but I'm not sure. You said you got it somewhere else,
but I swore I gave it to you and that's
the yellow stuff you uses.

Speaker 5 (01:17:44):
Are any of those? Would you suggest using that? The
kevlar kevlar wire like anything.

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
Like that or er bed would work. Well, I have
a manufacturer because the grouch was on my butt about
getting you know, customer custom custom size. Uh, you know,
military type kevlar wire. So I do have some coming
I think, well not some. I have like twenty thousand
feet so of each size.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
It goes fast.

Speaker 4 (01:18:13):
I buy polystealth by ten or twenty thousand foot rolls
so in that lasts about few months, so it goes wick.

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
I wonder how much callum uses in that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Uh oh my god, yeah insane.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
Yep. Oh high viz wire yep, I see ed on there.
I do have high viz wire. I have a zombie
green I don't have it the clip with me, but
I have like a zombie slash slime green wire that
I'm going to be coming out with. And that's uh,
that's going to be coming out soon. That's going to
be in the PTFE as well as the silicone. I
know you guys like, yeah, you like the B and techo.

(01:18:51):
Everyone buys that. So I reached out to the Chinese
manufacturer and ever since the tariffs are all trying to
throw free product at you, so I said, hey, make
me some samples. So I got some of the silicone
and zombie green coming, and oh that'd be cool. It's yeah,
great for ground radios. I always tell people use the
silicon for like ground radios because you know it's on

(01:19:12):
the ground. You don't have to worry about pulling it
through trees and ripping it, so then you don't have
to worry about tripping it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Good ideas.

Speaker 5 (01:19:22):
All right, eighty three people? Can we get eighty five?
Two more?

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
Call?

Speaker 5 (01:19:27):
Call your friends and neighbors. It's a big ass antenna, Sindy.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Do you want to come back and try it one
more time?

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
I never know. See we're talking about antennas now.

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
Great, right, Jody says, yes, a twenty thousand foot zombie
green sample would just be fine. Come on, one more,
one more, Joe Britten, have you used all of your accounts?
There we go, there's eighty five. All right, let's hit

(01:20:01):
it here.

Speaker 6 (01:20:04):

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):

Two facts? Every thirty days, man, every thirty days.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Mine's like every day.

Speaker 6 (01:21:56):
There, partly because my work computer doesn't.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Thank an added you wing it is the real winner
of that antenna. Yeah yeah, the while for this, she's
got her general that's right, she just gave her call sign, right, so.

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):

placed his order for the fifty six to one.

Speaker 4 (01:22:36):
Too. Damn.

Speaker 6 (01:22:37):
I wish I would have realized when I was from Burbertown,
I would have reached out to Jeff to go to
a podo.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Hey, thank you Troy on the West coast for while
you're driving, please be careful, Matt.

Speaker 5 (01:22:47):
Do you want to ship that and then and we'll just.

Speaker 4 (01:22:50):
Stay Yeah, it makes it simple.

Speaker 5 (01:22:55):
I have all of she's information if you want me
to send it to you or do you want to
just copy?

Speaker 4 (01:23:01):
I wrote down the call signs, so it should be good.
If it's all good in a few hours that I.

Speaker 5 (01:23:07):
Love it when a plan comes together.

Speaker 4 (01:23:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, because we know Mike's deleting those emails
right now as we speak.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Matt, is there anything else that?

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
Is there any other errors you think you may want
to branch out in or without giving too much at
two o'clock in the morning, we have those ideas.

Speaker 4 (01:23:31):
So I do have a little idea book where I
write everything down in and try to test things out
and see what works. Uh, one of my friends wants
me to build a vertical and I'm like, I'm not
getting into that. You know, you got some real nice
ones like the res antenna, you know, Chameleon, So I'm
not going to branch into that quite yet. But wire
antennas is where it's at for me right now. And

(01:23:54):
oh yeah, I was looking at that until the uh
you know, until the not the clubhouse but on Coffee.

Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
Yeah, that other that other Ham radio one.

Speaker 4 (01:24:09):
Yeah, so I saw they put one out. I'm like,
I'm not going to build one of these for a while.
So I was like, what why do the me too items?
So I didn't want to do that, but I had
I had two friends asking me for one. So uh,
it's going to be leaving the lab out to the
beta testers, which will be a few of you guys,
and give it a whirl and see how well it works.

(01:24:30):
And uh, there's a little twist to the one I
built because I was researching, reading old q ST documents
and things of that such and testing things and uh,
I think I got a decent design and hopefully it
will work well. But remember it's a compromise. It's you know,
you need a tune or for it.

Speaker 5 (01:24:48):
Everything, So everything is a compot.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
The next one point, we always need to remember.

Speaker 5 (01:24:53):
That everything is a compromise. Yep wave intenna.

Speaker 6 (01:25:02):
Well, they are all out for a I was gonna
say hex beam or a cobweb.

Speaker 5 (01:25:11):
He may or may not have a prototype for a
rab cough.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
No hmm, how about a DOUBLET.

Speaker 4 (01:25:19):
I knew someone hacked into my computer. It wasn't. It wasn't, Mike.
I promise you that it was between deleting all the emails.
So besides, was just making it more compact into a little,
you know, simple portable thing that holds it so you
don't lose it, you know, so it's all, you know,

(01:25:41):
tied into the winder and everything like that.

Speaker 5 (01:25:43):
Don't choke on that is.

Speaker 6 (01:25:47):
It was what was on the bottom of his cup
A bunch of milk curds or something, raspberries.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
