Mission Accomplished. However, I have been absolutely astonished at how many people have come forward with long standing radio issues. Luckily, if you&#8217;re going to be at the upcomming King of the Hammers races in Johson Valley, CA and want help on the lakebed&#8230; there is hope. The big radio dealers will be there and can offer assitance with tuning and radio programming etc. But if you want my recommendation when it comes to getting your antenna really dialed in, I highly recommend Warren from Red&#8217;s Radios.<\/p>\n<p>Who is Warren? Warren and I met at a radio event with\u00a0a group of ham radio enthusiasts (radio nerds) participating\u00a0in an annual emergency preparedness radio exercise \/ contest. This really just means that we go camping, have a few cold ones, sling wire antennas in trees and talk to other radio enthusiasts all around the world&#8230; because we&#8217;re nerds. Warren and I see eye-to-eye when it comes to antennas\u00a0as well as simply understanding the science. And as much as I would really like to help you all out myself, my KoH schedule simply isn&#8217;t allowing me the time to commit. I will be in and out of camp with a full schedule, but hopefully I can still atleast see some of you in person and chat for a bit. But in the mean time, for radio help, check out the previously mentioned videos and contact Warren for the in person radio help that you have looking for:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redsradios.com\/\">https:\/\/www.redsradios.com\/<\/a><br \/>\nwarren@redsradios.com<br \/>\n(760) 902-0866<br \/>\nI hope this helps and I also hope to see you on the lakebed.<br \/>\n-Steven<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The feedback has been more than what I had imagined.
