Where did you hide the link for the little S-caribiners......?

Sad hams...they're everywhere! I always tell new hams to take what they want from the hobby and don't worry about the rest. Sad hams that say, "you gotta do it this way or that way" just rub me the wrong way. I'm old school to a point, but honestly, you do you, I'll do me, and everyone can get along or not. I'm not living my life trying to please people. I'm all about helping and encouraging new hams, and I'll do it till the day I die, because I love the hobby and want to help others to get the most out of it. I'll never insist that anyone should have to do this or that. Keep up the great work, Mike. I love the videos! (This one was hilarious, by the way!) 73 , W4AQX

😂 I really enjoy your videos Mike, keep up the good work my friend. KL5FX from Alaska...73

Too much? ... yes... lol. Keep it up.

Hey question, when I open CHIRP and go to download my radio, the port location comes up blank and will not recognize my radio. Any ideas why? I'm using the windows edition, I have the Baofeng official cable that came with the radio. When I go to my mycomputer window, again the radio is not recognized.

I don’t know how you do it Mike. My wife and I call these senseless folks “ wingnuts“ . It seems like you have a magnet for them. For what it’s worth I like your videos. All the best from Nova Scotia.

James and his family used to be members of my ham club. All of his kids are brilliant, especially his girls Hope, Grace, and Faith Hanna. James came to the June 2024 meeting for the go-box show and tell and he brought some of his stuff. Very nice. I wish I could afford it.

love mine, i live in Kentucky and have talked the world with it.

"MOMMY!" 🤣And the 'bleeps and bloops' ... i totally agree. Even though I am endevoring to learn CW this year, it is full of quick, short cut code words of bleeps and bloops... how is that 'personal'?🤔 Also, I'll let you know when my hood mount disembowels someone and we can collaborate a video!

Mike, nice report. Thx. What length wire did you finally settle on?

ATAS is only good enough if you are always stationary but if you run POTA mobile as I do often when doing FT8, that antenna wont last too long as I found out with my ATAS.

I've grown to respect your reviews and have purchased a few products due to your reviews. The Cyclenbatt is the latest. I've been wanting a 100AH battery but just couldn't fork over the dollars they cost until you reviewed the Cyclenbatt. Yes, it's not as good as a Bioenno but it's what I could afford and with your testing and review I believe it will work fine for my purpose. I won't freeze it then try to charge😀

Does atas can be moded with 3/8 thread whip? i.e. mfj 17ft whip

Thanks for the laugh. Bless their hearts....

You are too funny Mike ! Yep we have complainers on the air and off the air I am getting more and more on my Pota activations great video !

This is absolutely my favorite video series to watch on the interwebs...😂 Thanks Mike ! You made my day !!

The 2nd guy complaining about theory in the exams cracks me up. The amount of theory in the tech exam is so minor that it's hard to claim it's a real barrier to entry. Sure, extra has a lot more theory but....nobody is forced to take the extra class exam to get on the air.

I’m hoping you can help trying to get a fender mount for ham antenna, 2012 Jeep Liberty having a heck of a time

Definitely in my defense- nice to have $xxx dollar gear given to you- ok cool it’s not literal cash it’s free gear. You’re not kidding anybody.

Damn you Mike, You left me with no choice, but to moan. The video was too short 😉. I loved it BTW 🤣🤣.

Thanks for great videos!! Funny impersonations 😄😄 Block idiots and creeps

That response to the APRS comment…. CLASSIC!!!! 73!

doneanddone and teambrokeshooter are definitely nⱺtarubicon fanbois.

Some great quote ideas for t-shirts. 🤔😈

Disembowel.....What are you doing Mike playing Mortal Kombat with your antenna mount..............FINISH HIM!!!!

Give this man an Emmy and an Oscar for his acting abilities! Damn, this was great entertainment. In my experience, the majority of YT comments seem to be skimmed from the shallow end of the gene pool. As I'm sure there's no shortage of these comments for your videos that are live now or in the future I think videos like this should be a monthly thing. Keep it going brother! 73 de VA3DVY

What is the app you are using on your phone?

I am a student pilot and I need an inexpensive radio to listen to the airband, is the Talkpod A36 Plus a good option for me? Thank you.

Nice shirt. I can't figure out how to setup my computer and ft891 to save my life. I hate how not computer literate I am at only 34 years old lol.

Do you need a left or right hand Crescent wrench for the installation?

"so f#*k me for reading the manual" my favorite quote of all time 😅

the last guy ... well, maybe he had the best in mind, but english isn't his first language (as it isn't for me), at first reading it sounds ridiculous, but given the circumstances here in Europe it is understandable, the regulations get crazier every year and yeah, it is like: sharp edges are bad - bumpers and engine hoods must be as soft as possible so not to hurt pedestrians and cyclists (as he wrote) nevermind the weight of the car or the truck or the mirrors, etc .....

Might wanna watch out on that antenna mount. People could get hurt

Some sad hams put the "more" in "moron".

Hey Mike. This by far is one of your Best, most entertaining, tell it like it is video’s. I literally spit my coffee out this morning watching this one. Keep up the great work. Thanks…..

Umm... Check out the Tacoma mount

Cry babies losers lol😂😂😂😂

StreakyP has apparently never seen swangers

I have both 9:1 and 49:1 antennas at my QTH. Switching between the two, I found the 49:1 as having more gain but, the 9:1 is definitely less noisy.

Good job addressing the trolls! Too many people just ignore them, but they need validation too.

Mike you need to wind up a couple small toroids for earrings and start a new ham fashion statement! Different number of windings for the right and left earlobe to allow proper band pass filtering for brain wave frequencies.

Funny as hell: Ham Radio Comedy Hour🤣

FINALLY, SOMEONE WITH BALLS!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DON'T LET THE KARENS WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Mike, love it man, just love it. Change nothing, keep presenting as you do, keep the enthusiastic delivery and keep it honest, its so refreshing to see such enthusiasm for the hobby 👍

Is the operation similar to the G90?

It weeds out the dirt bags being on the air!!!
