In this episode, we sit down with Don Taylor, KM4UDX, to talk through his approach to homebrew radio and hands-on experimentation. From uBITX modifications to scratch-built projects and antenna work, Don shares what he’s building, what’s working, and what he’s learned along the way. We also discuss his role as president of the Vienna Wireless Society and how the club supports operators through activities, mentorship, and getting people on the air. If you’re interested in building, experimenting, or getting more involved in a local ham radio community, there’s a lot to take away from this conversation.
Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.
