In this video, Cliff Batson (N4CCB) encourages you to start making YouTube videos with minimal equipment. You don’t have to make your videos Public, so there’s no reason not to get started experimenting with making videos.
Note that this is an expanded version of the presentation given on Saturday, May 12th during the WCARES monthly meeting.
Cliff shows you the gear you can use for less than $100 that will produce great results. A sample ham activation video is shown within this presentation.
Be sure to check out the links in the video description for the gear Cliff mentions.
In this video, Dallas Clements (K7DCC) reviews practical applications for APRS, reviews the many projects from his 10 years of experimenting with creating APRS stations, and potential new projects on the horizon.

Next Saturday, April 13. WCARES will be holding a fox hunt at Pinkerton Park near downtown Franklin. There will be numerous foxes to hunt and a window prize for the person or team who locates the foxes the quickest. We will begin promptly at 9am. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! If you have any questions, please reach out to me. Trey@numberstn.com.
Thanks!
