🔵ABOUT MY CHANNEL
My channel is about Ham or Amateur radio and other two way radio products. I invite you hangout in the shack with me as I cover stuff such as Live streaming while on the radio so you can hear what your signal sounds like at my station, news or reviews on radios, gadgets, etc I use in my shack, and projects, or tinkering I call it, where I’m making something from scratch or attempting to repair something hoping it don’t end in smoke.
