Good explanation of radio waves and antenna info. Thanks, AK6HP

Great video Stuart. This gives lots of ideas....

Just out of curiosity, could you just use standard coaxial cable for a tv and throw on pl-259 adapters at either end to use it as a UHF coaxial cable? I apologize if that's a silly question, but I'm new to this, so please humor me....

The center top long element is for 6 meters but will need adjustment probably In you video you did not show the SWR for all the other bands that its designed for 25 mhz to 1300 could you reply to my comment I am setting up a recieve system for any signal any band all rf digital or analog. You will get better transmit signal with colinear antenna but this saves you money. I'm a disabled USMC vet that can't work but tinkers all day with my radios 73 AA4CP Fort Pierce FL on the beach

Hi Stu, tnx for your light and refreshing way of presenting informations :-)

Thanks, I needed that. 73

I should add that i running this on a FTdx3000

Question. If I already have omnirig, HDSDR and Log4OM loaded, then it appears that wsjt-x can no run concurrently because uses Hamlib. When I test the rig control it yields a Hamlib error. Further, if I start by running swjt-x, unload it and then try to run the usual omnirig stuff, the ports don't work unless I reboot. Hmmmm.

This video great. It is exactly what I was looking for building a tap for my tinySA.

In this video you are running what I assume is omnirig v1.x with HDSDR. Sadly omnirig v1.x support was removed with HDSDR v2.8 - a real pain... I am not sure how stable the current HDSDR beta, which once again allows omnirig v.1x, is at this point. This is significant since you can not run LOG4OM with omnirig 2. Oh the joys of battling developers...

Could you do another video about the "bonded test"? The "common bonding adapter"? Anytime I ask in the stores about grounding they said it wasn't necessary at all so I would love to have more information for someone who actually knows about this. Can you not only discuss the testing but the adapter itself and how to use it? Thank you so much for this video It really was exceptionally helpful for me. 🙌

Let's say you have a DX station that is not calling CQ. You want to call him so how do I do that on WSJT-X? DE KB3Z

we had a couple guys that are the FT8 freaks bail last minute on our FD. I found your video here and after watching it a half dozen times I have N1MM working with WSJT-X on my Yaesu 991 gobox. Absolutely incredible video Stu. thanks a bunch! KC5LL

Thank you for a VERY clear video! I look forward to more. Ken VE3EQ

Great job! I use my win10 PC for all sorts of serial stuff. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, CHIRP, etc. After watching this video I marked my case with the COM port numbers. 😂I'm an old school guy anyway, so I have to write down everything. 73's WD8OHE.

Awesome. Thanks for doing this!

great video. now I'll watch it again to set it up!!

Love the way you introduced the video visually and audibly, but I was disappointed when I got to the point when i realised it involved running Linux command lines. Need something simpler. Julia

That's unnecessarily complex. Will just run F.D. from WSJT-X and use their log instead of N1MM's log. Using Grid Tracker makes for a nice map that catches the public's eye.

At around 14:30 you might say that YOU WILL NOT see the drivers UNLESS you connect your pc to the radio. THEY WILL REMAIN HIDDEN. This one drove me nuts. I'd download the drivers, install then, and then look for them... THEY WOULD NOT SHOW. You must connect the computer to the radio.

Hi Stu Love the video, GReat information. The question I have is not about VARA, but about your video production. I was wonder how you captured your desktop and you were working and used it as your backdrop? Im familiar with how green screen works and that side of it but was wondering what software you used for screen capture and so on. Thanks

can you explain the tunning process, i dont understand what is going on

TOTALLY frustrated with Log4OM. Not a single video or ANY Documentation on how to set Log4OM for "ARRL Field DAY". Perhaps it can't. I see no facility for entering "Class or Section". Amazing, for an otherwise good Logger. You'd think there would be at least a way to build your own template. Too bad.

Thinking of picking one of these up for scanning purposes but I'm worried it won't be able to pick up my local MARCs/trunking p25 systems. Would you happen to know how well it would handle those frequencies?

I did the exact same thing as you except with a RG-8x wrapped 43 toroid (total cost $20) vs the MFJ-915 RF isolator (retail $55) the best I could get was -18 db on the MFJ but the toroid was around -28. The difference of wrapping a toroid vs cramming as many ferrite beads into a PVC pipe.

Way to throw the XYL under the bus!! You rock! Thanks for showing us how to test these!

I am still confused about the alias.... Need to watch it a couple of times

Viewed several video guides on how to get in after forgetting password, this was the best. My PC was weird -- I had to use SDB4, not SDA2. It worked -- much appreciated!

Thanks for the real life experience alot of newbies to the hobby go thru , I have been exactly in that scenario. I also tried the recommendation in comments (techjohn3379) the 7/8 mini pipe cutter also works. got the idea from this site. Good vid and good comments.

I wish you would take another look at this subject with the new FT 710,,,,the menus and subject descriptors, just don't line up with my radio....which will soon overtake the 7300....could be a lot of views ( and gratitude), for you ! PS Far more interested in capturing audio off HF into my PC and playing it back to them via the USB cable ....( How to PTT that audio playback is the problem )

Been doing this and file recovery on customer’s computers for a while now using System Rescue and randomly got recommended this video. Wanted to comment to say that this is one of the best tutorials for this scenario I’ve seen! Clear explanation, clear description and you have a way of conveying this information in a non-condescending tone (unlike some Linux gurus). Liked and subbed! Keep up the good work sir!

Great video. I learned a lot about the setup. Thx.

thank you for this

It’s good demostration.

Thanks for the video. I never heard of Win4 until watching this video. After searching it, looks like that is what I need plus a lot more. I want to be able to run SKCC Logger and AC Logger simultaneously. 73 AI4ES

There is really nothing "automatic" about manually uploading to LOTW from the QSO manager. I shouldn't have to go there and sort through what QSOs need to be uploaded. I seldom exit LOG4OM, but when I try the "Automatic upload on application close" option, the program freezes and the upload never occurs.

Did you ever get the 9600 working for you?

Hi Stuart Thanks for VARA vids. I am new to it and have a question based on the current version. How do I set up the additional monitor screen as my Rig set up doesn’t let me do it. Thanks G7JDI

I just watched your video and it helped a lot BUTTTT not sure if I did it exactly right.. On my log I got one star on my log so I guess someone confirmed me , but I am not sure if I confirmed all the contacts in my log..BTW I only have about 28 . Is there a way to check, I find this thing very confusing ....

I got the DX Engineering coax cutting tool and their PL-259 connectors. I STILL have trouble trying to do trouble-free coax connections on LMR 400. I'm new to HF (started about three months ago) so maybe I just need more practice. That's why I always leave 5-6 extra feet for any coax project . . .

Stu, thank you once again for this informative video. This was the only video I can find on UA-cam about the color codes in WSJTX for FT8. I think I already know the answer but in order for this to work I need to always let the log continue to build and never delete it or rename it such that it starts with a new log? I saw advice from another UA-cam ham about renaming the log file after each setting so you have a separate ADIF file I think that would defeat the color coding though. I think his rationale was for the purpose of parks on the air. Do you have any suggestions on how to parcel out the log to reflect a single activation?

Did you ever check out the protable version? I am trying to run log4om on my desktop and protable on my laptop for POTA. Need to have both computers be synced with little or no fuss. Any ideas on how to do this? You would think the program would have that option already for those who partake in field days and POTAs.

You really made this easy for me. I seriously appreciate the video because the instructions written on the website are something else. Thanks! 73

Can you change qsl card no to yes received for a group of cards you have?

How do you get the DXCC award to work?

Amazing Boos, thank you so much>>

What is that cool calculator that you are using? Great video have learned a lot from it and will watch several times again.

Hi, Stu. Do you have a video explaining how to edit the macros for a specific contest - in my case, the BARTG HF RTTY contest. In there, the exchange includes a 4-character (not 6) UTC/GMT time. When I enter "TIMEGMT" in the brackets for the "EXCH", and run it, it does a 6-character time (xx:xx:xx), not 4 (xx:xx). I was able to get the "599" to display correctly, but not the time. I was also able to get the Message number to display correctly, with the "#". What do I put between the "EXCH" brackets for the time? The exchange for this contest is:  RST  MESSAGE NUMBER: The number must be a three or four figure number starting at 001 and incrementing by one (1) per contact  TIME UTC (GMT): A full four figure UTC (GMT) time must be sent as part of the exchange
