M0SZT ham radio podcast

I want to share some of the frequencies to monitor regarding the war in Ukraine. Please be mindful that we should keep emergency frequencies clear and be 'ears only'.

I take a trip out to the remote barn in the Peak District to monitor some military radio signals. I wanted to find out if there's any increased radio activity on the Russian military ground force frequencies.

I get to hear some counter activity being transmitted on the frequency known as the Buzzer. I'm not sure whether the music/noises being played is radio trolling by amateurs or something more strategic.

If you want to find out a little more about these frequencies and how to monitor military radio signals, this link is useful: https://priyom.org/military-stations/russia#ground-forces

Winter wildcamp

An overnight landlocked sea shanty, aka camping with whisky and a radio during a storm.

An overnight camp working on a couple of bands.

A quick trip out to work PSK31 data mode.

Great trip out working 40m portable during a very cold and winter evening. Equipment was FT897D and wire dipole and the overnight spent in a camping barn. Many lessons learned and chance to see 2 years of progress lead to a successful field operation.

This channel focuses on amateur (Ham) radio, science and electronics. I operate a lot of portable radio plus have an interest in amateur satellite operations. You will find reviews, adventures, updates and tips for newcomers on this channel. Follow me as I venture into amateur radio.

Visit to new woodland location to operate the Clansman 320 on HF band. I find it is important to continuously test out the skills required to operate radio from locations such as woodlands.

The Clansman PRC 320 is a decommissioned British military radio that saw action in the Falklands and Northern Ireland.
