This video is a tribute to @adamthewoo (@TheDailyWoo ) and the impact he’s had on documenting everyday America. Today we tour Celebration, Florida — revisiting places that became familiar through The Daily Woo. We walk the neighborhoods, reflect on memories, visit the area of his former home, and take in the atmosphere that helped shape years of vlogging history. No drama. No speculation. Just appreciation. We also make a stop for Skyline Chili — a nod to Adam’s roots and one of those small traditions that longtime viewers immediately recognize. If you’ve followed The Daily Woo for years, you know Celebration was more than just a filming location — it was part of the story. This is simply a respectful walk through those spaces and a thank you for the inspiration to document the journey, wherever it leads. Be respectful in the comments. Live. Learn. Transmit.

The road to Hamcation 2026 starts NOW. In this travel vlog, we document the full 700-mile trek from Tennessee to Orlando, Florida for the first stop on the HamShackTV Hamfest Tour. This isn’t just a drive — it’s tradition. We make two stops at Buc-ee’s (because you don’t pass Buc-ee’s… ever), roll through Atlanta spotting landmarks like the former TBS headquarters, Truist Park, and the old Turner Field, and make a classic roadside stop at the World’s Largest Peanut in Ashburn, Georgia. Before crossing into Central Florida, we pull into the Florida Welcome Center on I-75 for the legendary free orange juice. If you know, you know. Hamcation coverage begins next — but this is the journey that gets us there. If you enjoy classic American road trips, roadside attractions, travel vlogs, or ham radio event coverage — you’re in the right place. Shoutout to fellow road trip explorer @AdamTheWoo — if you love documenting Americana, this one’s for you. Live. Learn. Transmit.

This week I’m getting my 1998 Starcraft Constellation popup camper ready for the road as we prepare for our trip to Orlando, Florida for Hamcation. In this video, I walk through my real-world camper prep process — inspections, packing, power considerations, and the mindset that comes with trusting older gear to get you there and back. No hype, no shortcuts — just solid preparation before a long haul. If you’re into: • Popup campers • RV and travel prep • Ham radio events • Road trips to major conventions • Making older equipment work reliably —you’re in the right place. Hamcation is one of the biggest amateur radio events in the country, and this trip is part of the HamShackTV Hamfest Tour. This video sets the stage for what’s ahead.

Can a convicted felon legally get a ham radio license? Most people think they know the answer — but the FCC’s actual rules tell a very different story.

Court and probation conditions always apply. 👇 SOUND OFF 👇 Should a felon be allowed to get a ham radio license?

Tonight I had the privilege of presenting to the Smoky Mountain Amateur Radio Club on one of the most important HF radios of the modern era — the ICOM IC-7300 MK2 — with a strong focus on SDR control, panadapter operation, and real-world operating advantages. The IC-7300 changed ham radio by putting direct-sampling SDR into an affordable, everyday shack radio. In this presentation, we break down: What makes the IC-7300 MK2 different from the original How SDR architecture actually benefits operators Using the panadapter and waterfall effectively Practical SDR control tips for everyday HF operation Why this radio remains a benchmark in 2026 This is a club-level, operator-focused discussion — no fluff, no hype — just real talk about why this radio still earns its place on the desk. 🔹 Sponsor: Gigaparts This video is sponsored by Gigaparts, one of the most trusted names in amateur radio. 🛒 Shop ICOM radios and accessories at Gigaparts: 👉 https://www.gigaparts.com 💰 Use promo code HamShackTV for DOUBLE REWARDS POINTS Supporting Gigaparts helps support HamShackTV and future club presentations like this one. 👍 If you found this presentation helpful, like, subscribe, and share it with your local club or a new ham thinking about SDR. 📡 HamShackTV — Live, Learn, Transmit.
