When I made the first video on my truck radios, I said there would be follow-ups later. This is the first of many - The Yaesu FTM-500DR radio was released shortly after I made the first video, so today I install it in the mobile Hamshack. Plus I go into further details about the Lido Mounts that I used in my complete install.

Tonight's livestream will discuss my latest fascination with bags for ham radios - not just storage bags or carrying packs, but bags that are made to hold an entire radio station. Unzip the top and operate. Throw it over your shoulder and hike up a mountain while working the transceiver. Have you ever used a radio like this? What bag did you use?

Two new stories from Fall of 2022 show how Ham Radio can literally save lives, even in these modern times. Cell phone networks can be unreliable in many areas - and sometimes you simply can't get to a phone. These 2 stories were shared on the ARRL website and I think they both make great examples of how Ham Radio is not only relevant, but NEEDED by many, still today.
