We like this dual set. You don’t need a licence, anyone can use them and it has just about all the basic functionality you need. No knobs, just a few buttons and it’s not expensive. Charges via USB C.

We invite ALL Ham Radio companies to make a Christmas Video! This is our attempt. Please smile and laugh at us! Merry Christmas from Wendy, Loki, Gina and Callum.

This is for 40m RX and TX gain in 4-directions. It’s switchable. Needs a LOT of coax for the phasing lines and the main feed and a 3-wire control line too. In this video, we unpack the box, understand how it works – and sort all the cabling to the field.

Calculating how much rope you need for guying any sort of antenna mast can be a fiddle – so I wrote a spreadsheet to help us. If you find a mistake, let me know!

Not sure how they make these so cheap – but it has FCC certification and seems to work!
