I use this at home with the Slidewinder DX coil and worked most of the world with it 👌🏼

So this morning, as a little challenge to myself...I've started to try out CW. Early days, but so far so good. Going to learn the first 5 letters of the alphabet first as in keying and being able to decode the letters by listening (hopefully). Trainer mode on the #Xiegu is handy!

Received today in the post from 91-AT-011 Mr Frankie in Timor Island (Indonesia). QSO dated back to March this year, always a great buzz making a good contact on 11 metres when conditions allow. Happy days 😎 #cbradio #dx #qso #alfatango

Haven’t done this properly for some time. Editing a small video that maybe of some use to someone in the market for a Xiegu X6100 qrp rig. Testing power levels on both battery and external power. Should be on YouTube later on.

Just uploaded a new video to my YT channel, testing the power output on a #XieguX6100 - Please do take a look if it’s something of interest. I’ll probably get hammered in comments for ‘not doing something right’ anyway😂 73’ all. youtu.be/aQAk5NrUTLE

4 years ago today, I passed my foundation amateur radio exam. It changed my life, as in it opened doors for me radio-wise to a whole new world. One of the best things any radio enthusiast could do! #hamradio #amateurradio

Really like the emerald colour of my new #SlidewinderDX coil from M1ECC Antennas Limited paired with the 9ft folding whip also from M1ECC Antennas, working well on my window mount attached to my balcony railing 👌🏼 #hamradio #amaterradio

Again, nothing quite beats receiving a paper QSL card through the post. Many thanks to Ricardo PY1VOY, for taking the time to confirm via post. Very appreciated indeed 👍🏻

a new DXCC for me today on FT8 running the #Xiegux6100 on 5w from home, Angola. Conditions on 10m the last few days have been nothing short of magical! long may it continue :)

Tried this small telescopic handheld whip this morning, tuned up fine on 10m. From my living room on the couch, I made a quick 2-way with a station in Russia on 5w using the built-in mic on the #Xiegux6100 the band has been brilliant lately!#hamradio

Happy Easter everyone, whatever you're doing I do hope it's a good one! also... big opening on 10 & 12 metres on #FT8 for those who dabble in it! Using 8 watts I've already had three contacts into Japan and one into Taiwan. Crazy times at the moment! #hamradio

Afternoon folks, looking to get some advice on something I believe to be rare. Someone has contacted me saying they've ended up with a boxed, mint, complete & never used Midland Portapak CB radio. It came from a collection I believe, any ideas on how much potentially it's worth?

I done a new video on YouTube, give it a watch if you're bored... or happen to own a Quansheng UV-K5 and want to program it manually. Thanks! That is all... carry on... as you were 😆 youtu.be/Ei8Yi5bT9y0

after a few unsuccessful attempts previously, where I couldn't get the radio's audio into the laptop, I've somehow managed to get it working. CQ 14.074 FT8 @ 11:20 - onwards UTC #hamradio #ft8 #xiegu #x6100

Just thought I’d share a little video I recently done for YouTube… youtu.be/P7ojmMYc3tE?si… #shortwave #multiband #swl #retekesstr110 #retekess #TR110 #radio

Wonderful to get in the log of the GB2DD (D-Day Special Event Station) with Carl in the chair on 7.143MHz 5/9 both ways @ 21:46 UTC. Haven't been on radio much in the past month so it was great to get myself in the log for this wonderful celebration. #hamradio #amateurradio

Spent a couple of weeks away in Southwest Wales, came back to check if any new local #Meshtastic nodes had popped up and yes they have. There was somewhat of a lift on as well, spotting a node across the channel in France too. Not to mention my 5 hops into London 😎
