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-signup

We will talk tonight about 2 of my other YouTube channels also. Come join us!

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.

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 case for the Lilygo T-beam is one of the best and most versatile cases I have found for any Meshtastic device yet. Let's take a look at the case and all of its features.
