Hardcore Comms

Good to know all those tax dollars are going to buy only the finest in radio technology.

Changing the carry up as of late. Using the HD1 as my daily carry radio to really put it through the paces.

HD1 Pre-Order is live. Link is in the bio.

Okay let’s do it. Tonight, 6:30MST! Let’s talk NVIS. BRING THOSE QUESTIONS.

Class time. Sign up on the website. See you there

The HD1 coming to the HXC Comms online store very soon. These units are IP67 rated, DMR, encryption, and Dual band. They come in at a very reasonable price point for the guy that wants some upgraded features over a Baofeng but not quite in the Motorola/Kenwood price range. is going to be covering more of the features and set up of the radio on his page. Stay tuned.

Teamwork makes the dream work. Thank you as always to for making HXC Comms look good.

Come one come all! Link in bio to website to sign up.

Listening to the local repeaters and enjoying a glass of single malt Irish whiskey and a bowl of nightcap to***co. Decent way to end a Friday. Remember it is okay to take a night off relax.

Expanding my knowledge base into the commercial/duty radio realm. So far I have seen some up sides and some down sides. We will go into that some more in some further post break downs. Just know that here at HXC Comms I will gladly spend my money and tell my wife it is for research.

Daily carry radio bag. This combo will get me on all bands from 80m-70cm. I also use it as a shortwave receiver. -Radio: IC-705. -Antennas: EFHW 40m-10m, Signal Stuff 2m/70cm, home brew 80m linked dipole for NVIS work. -Bag is a Citizen messenger with a Niko camera insert. -Extras: NanoVNA(antenna analyzer), Not pictured 10m SpiderBeam travel mast. -So what questions do you all have about this kit or any items you want to see more info about? - - -

Doin radio s**t today. Making confirmed VHF/UHF contacts 60 miles away. 4 different bands 50mhz, 140mhz, 220mhz, and 440mhz.

Antenna building. Needed a 220mhz antenna. So in being true to my motto I built it myself. This style is called a Moxon. It is directional. Should provide around 6dbi of gain. As you can see the tune on the antenna came out very good as it is less than 1.6:1 SWR across the entire band. All you need is a little math and some motivation.
