Who knew I could learn so much while cutting the grass! My favorite podcast! This show keeps me motivated in the ham radio world. Please don’t stop!!!
Cut out the politics

Great informative podcast that discusses a whole lot of interesting things. Then you ruin it with people whining about Twitter/Musk, and other political stuff. Final straw was the condescending complaints about the word 'master' not being politically correct. Unsubscribed.

New Ham here, been licensed for nearly a year. I’m working towards my Extra after having spent nearly a year operating as a General licensed Ham. I’m not so much interested in the CW aspect of the hobby (maybe, probably, in the future) but I am interested in the QRP to 100 watt SSB stuff. I mostly do POTA so I always love hearing about field radio use and the antennas for this purpose. Love the show, please keep them coming. -KE2BDV

Guests and topics are excellent. Listen at 1 1/4 speed for faster consumption. I travel for work and can listen to 5 or 6 of these in a row. Well done guys!!! 73, W4US
And then they said Twitter was going to implode

Use to love the show. Had great tips and interesting projects. Now it’s getting political, bias, opinionated and a lot of talking about themselves. I still give you a shot every episode hoping for a turn around but ultimately end up deleting episode and making a played. Sorry guys, hope you find your roots again.
I’ve found my happy place!

Finished watching the Ham Radio Workbench presentation on the QSO virtual hamfest last night. The humor was outstanding, The Canadian contingent was excellent. I didn’t know Canadian Ham’s had such a great sense of humor. The tech information was great as always, but the star of the show was the prototyping of the pin or patch to detect at first fellow watchers of ham radio workbench then with further design work it could be engineered to be a COVID detector! George, you and your cast of fellow nerds are simply “The Best” Thank you!!! N6CLF Chris
Educational and entertaining

I look forward to every episode of the Ham Radio Workbench. They’re great to listen to on the way to work in my car or traveling on the highway. Many of the guests share not solely knowledge and skill but tips and tricks to save money, as well as testing and measuring more effectively. Some episodes, (like Earth-Moon-Earth or Receiver Optimization) I’ve listened to multiple times due to the articulate, thoughtful questions George asks the guest speaker, the enthusiasm of the guest speaker and the wealth of information. Keep up the great work! 73 de KA1WHT

Just now taking the podcast #130 directional antennas. However; A-the full wave loop, or quad loop reduces noise as compared to yagi because the vertical portions on the square loop cancel some of the natural and man made noise. Also, the quad loop is usually a DC ground aerial and that furthers noise reduction. B- its not a yagi without a reflector or a director. A rotary dipole is not a gain array, it is only a bi-dictional gain less Dipole. Otherwise good program and lots of correct data. PS: wire beams on 75 and 40 meters where the trees are available.
