Simplex Ops: QTH Station
Fall of late 2023
Having been moved out of the city and back to my roots in the country, I’ve been finding a few minutes here and there to work on and build up my QTH VHF/UHF station.
DIY: 6 Meter Coax Antenna
My DIY 6 Meter Coax Antenna
Summer 2022 is almost here and I’ve been hearing about the ‘Magic Band’ and how 6 meters can be used to make regional contacts as opposed to just local contacts I usually make on 2 meter simplex. So that means fun in the short term, but long term operating on 6 meters can come in handy during emergency situations.
I have a TYT TH-9800D Quad band radio that can rx/tx on 6 meters pushing up to 50 watts, all I need now is an antenna. What I have to work with is 50 feet of RG-58 coax cable and here is how I made my 6 meter antenna using that cable.
Simplex Ops: QTH Station
Summer of ‘22
Being recently licensed and still getting used to talking on the radio I started working on setting up a base station to practice checking into local Nets on 2 meters. In the DFW area there are nets multiple times a day I could potentially check-into.

Hi there! I’m a Red Hat Architect by day, working on supported and enterprise-level open-source software. But when I’m not automating infrastructure provisioning or evangelizing GitOps strategies, you can find me outdoors, gazing at the sky and promoting the art of amateur radio.
