I create videos primarily to assist others in effectively using telecommunication tools available to the common man to communicate in austere environments. Secondarily I create videos to assist others in building self reliance and enhancing the survival of the individual or group in said austere environment. I hope you find my content helpful.

Right around the corner is an event you will not want to miss. The 61st Melbourne Hamfest 2026. Friday October 9 1200-1800 and Saturday October 10 0900-1500 This an excellent event and I always come home from the tailgate with a great buy.

This year’s Hamfest includes commercial vendors, tailgating, consignment sales, hourly door prizes and major prizes, FREE Laurel VE testing, forums and presentations, and the W4MLB/61 HF Special Event Station.


We’re also bringing back our FREE Youth Tech Workshop, where young people get hands-on experience assembling and soldering an electronic kit they can take home. Youth 18 and under also receive FREE Hamfest admission, helping us introduce the next generation to amateur radio and electronics.

See you there !

This is a lot of eggs in one basket - Factory radio, GPS. 5G, Wi-FI, and LMR in one package. Good news is it will likely survive a car wash. #survivalcomms

When you are issued a 10k dollar piece of equipment you have a responsibility to protect it. A Deputy's radio equipment is a life safety item and tying your antenna in a knot is inhibiting it's ability to do it's job. Note he still has his empty issued APX holster attached to his belt at 10 o' clock
