Description

Here's a very small tribute to my friend, Ian Kuhn. Ian's call sign was KI9W. He was very talented , smart, and kind I'll truly miss him. Over time, I'll tell more stories about our radio days and conversations about audio and music. But for now, I'll spill some wine and hold the memories. 73 OM.

End-Fed Antennas, Solar Conditions, and Real-World Ham Radio | 100 Watts and a Wire

In this episode of 100 Watts and a Wire, we dig into antennas, propagation, and life both on and off the air during our Sunday evening conversation. We talk end-fed antennas—why they were often dismissed a decade ago, what’s changed, and why many operators are now seeing strong real-world performance when they’re deployed and matched correctly. We also cover solar conditions and propagation forecasting, including how solar indexes and band-rating systems are used—and often misused—by websites attempting to predict on-air conditions. Along the way, we catch up, take questions, and keep it loose. Hosted by Christian (K0STH) with Steve (W7UDI) and Scotty (KC3BXN). Everyone is welcome. Stay above the noise.
