Radio Equipment and YouTube Videos

Well, as an avid enthusiast of just about anything outdoors, my excitement about getting out and operating ham radio outside is understood. With that being said, I am growing quite a collection of different equipment for this endeavor as I see new things and watch other videos. Recently, it occurred to me that as I grow my YouTube channel, it may be good to do more videos on the equipment I use. I have done quite a bit in this regard, but I feel that I could do more. With that being said, I have made the decision to try to test 1 new thing related to ham radio a month. It doesn't have to be something big, just anything. I will say, I have already purchased a new antenna and look forward to getting it in and trying it out. I am always looking for a bargain, and this item was relatively inexpensive. I will not spoil it by saying what it is, I will save that for later.

I really enjoy watching other people's YouTube videos and getting new ideas for my gear.  I feel that people can gather a great deal of community knowledge this way.  My channel has grown and morphed over the years.  It started as just a collection of shooting videos and maybe some talks about the firearms I had.  I even posted some videos of wildlife. I still have a love of these things and maybe they will make it's way back into the channel someday.  Radio, over the past 5 or 6 years, has been the focal point of my attention (even though I still dabble in the others hobbies of mine).

Until next time...
