VE6LK - Ham Radio, Shiba Inu and other fun stuff. I'm the Turkey that soars with the Eagles on the Ham Radio Workbench Podcast. My goal is to educate, inspire, promote and get people involved to learn about Ham Radio.

Join me as I take you on a journey through the world of amateur radio field operations. From Parks on the Air activations to Morse code guidance, kitbuilding and more, you'll find it here.

My videos have no advertisement interruptions as I've turned off KZread monetization.

Thank you for watching, and I look forward to sharing my passion for amateur radio with you.

    Aaron is one of the main channels I watched as I was learning CW and working up the courage to get on the air. He makes great content. I agree - don’t overthink it. Growth mindset is critical with learning something new and CW, while challenging, will reward you with the effort you put in each day. 73

    Ha, even after four years of learning, and getting on the air when I can, it's still hard for anything beyond POTA or SST for me. As much as the "get on the air message" message works for some, it bums me out that people don't seem to recognize that it doesn't work for everyone. everybody's brain works differently, and not everyone thrives in the trial-by-fire type of environment. Vband has been a nice almost get on the air for me, along with regular attendance of LICW classes (after completing CW Academy's first level class).

There are a whack of tips in this series and perhaps one of the others will resonate with you. In creating these I've picked up on a half-dozen that have really made a difference for me. 73

    Hi Great stuff Also I understand that the short codes are going completely from the 8th June . From your set of instructions, you show how to submit changes after making those changes twice. You don't need submit changes on each page within the phones Web interface. You can make a number of changes then press to submit to change those settings. It's the same process as seen on this great and useful video for your other endpoints , like MicroSip and Groundwire, for your cellphone. For users of other phones like polycom, Yealink & Fanvil you can only make one change on one page of the Web interface at a time. Unlike the 525g2 where you can make multiple changes and submit changes once . Plus it's a bit cheeky we have more than one network for ham operators , like AmateurWire & Hams Over IP. Which are freely available to any ham that has spare lines available on the hardphone. Thank you for a great video 73 de Mark 2E1CEQ
