  Your antenna isn&apos;t camouflaged, but it has the added bonus of making the enemy take a wrong turn off a cliff like Wile E Coyote.

  This is the perfect &apos;Save It For Parts&apos; video, just enough information, just the right length, plus a bit of humour.

  This is one of your best videos imo. Just the right amount of background, diy, and not too short.

  Our OE-4703 broke in the field some years ago. I made a new one out of a pizza box and two cans of monster. I cut off the end of one of them so I could slip it over the other to make a longer element. Then I cut up a redbull can to make some petals that I stapled to the box. Ran some slash wire around it and used a cobra head to connect it to our Golf. Ended up getting a better RSSI than the actual antenna lol

  Old hat here, I like this channel because he&apos;s not trying to pretend he&apos;s doing something he&apos;s not. When something is &apos;reported info&apos;, he flags it as such. When is dipole failed he didn&apos;t claim it did. He&apos;s not giving people false hope or engage in fear mongering. As someone who&apos;s been in SDRs since day one, honesty is what keep me coming to this channel.

  Hey Gabe. <br>Another video that takes me back a few years. <br>I started out in Germany around 1990 with a Stabo handheld CB radio. I quickly switched to &quot;good radios&quot; aka President Lincoln (V1), and used them (registered but without an amateur radio license) with their higher output power (4 watts FM, 40 channels, and 1 watt AM, 12 channels were permitted). <br>This Lincoln had a 10 watt output (21 watt PEP).<br>The problem is... In Germany, this made me liable to prosecution, and if I had a new antenna with poor SWR, I sometimes even killed the TV reception of my neighbors 20 houses away...<br>Luckily, they always called my parents first before contacting the authorities.<br><br>Building antennas was allways &quot;magic&quot; to me. I&apos;d read the instructions, build it, and somehow the thing would work. The SWR was always acceptable, too. I never really understood it. <br> <br>Thanks for your videos. I love your way of working.<br>It reminds me of myself. I once took apart my parents&apos; awesome &quot;copies everything&quot; VHS recorder to see why it could copy movies from the video store but mine in my room couldn&apos;t. My parents weren&apos;t thrilled :-D<br><br>Please just keep doing what you&apos;re doing and stay the way you are.<br><br>Edit:<br>&quot;Tactical bricks&quot; should become an official term for securing things against falling over!
