Cutting through the HamTubers nonsense

Welcome to our Kind Roast: a running, friendly collection of technical corrections for popular ham-radio videos and posts. We roast the claim, never the creator. Each entry highlights the quote, shows the measurement or model, and explains the “why” with repeatable methods and sources. No drama, no dogpiles—just cleaner signals and cooler heads.

Spot something shaky? Send the URL. If a creator updates their content, we label ours too. The goal isn’t to shame; it’s to share: be kind, be precise, be reproducible. (and a bit of cynicism and sarcasm won't hurt either)

We all make mistakes!
