We start on a stunning hilltop with the G8AMC radio club, unboxing the kit and showing you exactly what’s inside. David walks through the build from preparing the 40m coil to cutting and assembling the elements. With the antenna tuned and ready, we connect the Yaesu FTX-1 at just 10 watts and make real portable QSOs to prove how well the Venture performs in the field.
To finish, we take you behind the scenes at the DX Commander Open Day, with a tour of Callum’s shack, antenna field, and a quick chat with the man himself.
