TX Factor is a series of high definition TV shows covering all aspects of the hobby of amateur radio, the latest episode is below.
TX Factor episode 32 is now live.
’s been a while, but we’re back with our first full TX Factor episode since the summer of 2024. It’s part one of a two-part special featuring all the action from National Hamfest 2025 at Newark, Nottinghamshire, UK. Hamfest is the UK’s premier amateur radio rally and it’s taken two episodes to ensure TX Factor covers as much of the action from the two-day event as possible.
In this first show we talk with Chris Danby G0DWV, National Hamfest’s chair about the history and organisation of the event. We spend time with Karl Brazier G7AFT, Technical Sales Manager of Yaesu UK about, well, you know what!
Plus, there’re chats with Steve Thomas M1ACB, General Manager of the RSGB about how the Society continues to face up to the demands of the modern amateur radio community, including news of a brand new smartphone app for RadCom readers - and much more!
TX Factor is sponsored by the Radio Society of Great Britain.
