What this video covers

The crew tests a newly purchased SSB radio by connecting it to a 30-amp power supply and a delta loop antenna at a local scout station.0:56 The antenna, which uses a 1,500-watt balun, allows for transmission across 10 to 160-meter bands.2:33 During the test, the radio transmits in AM mode, though the signal experiences background noise, likely due to inadequate grounding near multiple electrical outlets.4:02

Separately, the construction team applies epoxy filler to the boat's skeg and rudder assembly.5:04 After laminating the surfaces, they sand the components to ensure a smooth fit, eventually achieving a low-friction movement for the rudder.7:40 The team also reconfigures the interior cabin lighting plan. They use a laser level to mark the center line of the ceiling, adjusting the layout to accommodate mounting bolts for a security hatch on the deck.11:03 After filling initial misaligned holes with epoxy to prevent water infiltration, they re-laminate the ceiling panels to finalize the structural preparation for the LED lighting installation.14:07
