Thanks, Mate. Great looking channel you've got as well! Subbed. Interested in learning a bit about your fortunner build.
Dude you are a fool! I love it subscribed!!!
Now we can fake our off-road knowledge at the grocery check out line. 😊

Thats about the extent of my knowledge.
The only issue with HF radio frequencies (while mobile) is the size of the equipment and antenna you need. VHF/UHF mobile radios (and the occasional quad-band radio) are fairly compact and about the size of a mobile GMRS or CB radio but those frequencies won’t give you atmospheric bounce (except on very rare occasions - that’s why your FM radio only picks up fairly local stations). HF transceivers are a lot bigger and they need much longer antennas (a common complaint ham operators have is that their HOA won’t let them put up an HF antenna). HF tuning can also be a bit tricky. Now, you can do mobile HF, but it needs to be a major design element of your build and it’s not really something you can just throw on.
Brilliant! Loved the matts off road recovery line 😂😂😂
Like your definition for Wench\succubus! Just about spit up my coffee. Swear I saw your GX in Peoria yesterday.

@@WastingTimeInTheWoods Yes there are a ton of nice GX’s in the Phoenix metro. I recently moved to the area and also have a GX. This place is absolutely amazing for everything outdoors. Maybe I’ll see you out on the trails! Cheers!
How about a video on radio jargon? Turns out, I was the "Tailgunner" on my first overland with ten trucks in the caravan.
No mention that HAM radios require licensing (to be legal) . . . .
At 3:20, you show a radio that is NOT ON HAM FREQS! Tsk tsk
