Tom (2E0KOF) makes videos about getting on air, building kit, and using the hobby — plain language, no gatekeeping.
Watch on YouTube, chat on Discord, or join the MultiMode hub on DMR & FM.

YouTube is the show. Discord is the chat. This site holds the tools — propagation, the MultiMode bridge, and pages that stay put when algorithms don’t.
Licensing, first rig, first contact — explained like a human being.
Antennas, portable ops, shack projects — including when it goes wrong.
Fast answers, photos of smoky connectors, and decent company.
Chrome extension for band conditions.
DMR, FM, XLX448, and FreeSTAR extension 8021 — how to connect
Watch something recent, then say hello on Discord. No stupid questions.
I keep the servers, SSL, deployments, and the MultiMode hub running while Tom runs the channel. If a page looks wrong on your phone, a link 404s, or you want a feature that’d actually help on the bench — tell us or email jack@radioforus.co.uk. Detailed reports beat silent frustration every time.
Tom’s on camera. Marc helps steer the community. I make sure the door stays open when you land from YouTube, Discord, or a bookmark.
