Ham Radio 2.0

Join us tonight for the livestream to talk about a multitude of things - should I create another Facebook page for Ham Radio 2.0? As most of you know, my account was hacked earlier this year, then it was banned. After several hundred emails to Facebook, no reply was ever received. So I am thinking about creating a new Page for this channel.Also, if you haven't already, sign-up for my email list. The list it around 19,300 subscribers right now, and when it reaches 20,000, I will be giving away another HF radio. Sign-up here - https://hamradio2.com/email-signupWe will talk tonight about 2 of my other YouTube channels also. Come join us!Links from the livestream:Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564416771407Packman Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@packmanofficialSignup for the email list: https://hamradio2.com/email-signupBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ham-radio-2-0--2042782/support.

I made a couple of videos about products that Temu sent me and they want you to install their app to get a $100 coupon that they offered to me, to give to you. But in my videos I said I would install the app onto a tablet or device that isn't my main EDC device, and maybe doesn't have any personal data on it. Well, according to this article and group, that is a good idea.This video is sponsored by M&P Coax - save 10% off of all products with code HR2CABLES at this link - https://hr2.li/cablesLinks from the video:Website: https://temuexposed.com/Twitter: https://x.com/TemuExposedDallas News Article: https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2024/07/30/texas-has-the-tools-to-stop-temu-a-chinese-app/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ham-radio-2-0--2042782/support.

During our Yellowstone trip, we stopped off and activated Parks in several States, including Montana. The Buddistick Pro worked great for all of these activations because it sets up quickly, it doesn't require any stakes in the ground or wires in trees, and when it is packed up, it is very small and portable.This video is NOT sponsored - but you can find the Buddistock Pro at this link - https://www.buddipole.com/buddistick.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ham-radio-2-0--2042782/support.

Tonight I welcome the YouTubers onto the channel to talk about plans for the Huntsville Hamfest in a couple of weeks. For the last 2-3 years, we have done POTA at Monte Sano State Park on Friday before the Hamfest. We are doing it again this year. Come POTA with us on Friday, August 16th at US-1048.
