Most folks consider QRP only means "cheap" or "inefficient". But it doesn’t have to be. Keen High Power stations and enthusiastic Low Power stations think in similar ways. Efficiency, signal loss and putting knowledge to good use. Food for thought. BTW, here’s Tom’s video: https://youtu.be/xJnN5nAIFG8

Some folks would like to spread the cost of their purchase over three months. Well, now you can. Let me explain.

There is no perfect antenna for 40m because dipoles and verticals are best at different times of the day. This is all to do with something called the D-Layer. But don’t be confused with techno-baloney… let’s take the hatches off for a few minutes and work it out… See what you think.

Just having fun before work here in the UK…

We cut 96 radials at 7m (23 ft) long and started pinning them to the ground. This is for the DX Commander 40m 4-Square.

The Perfect 40m antenna (POTA or Home-Station). Join Dave G0OES and myself for this chat.

What did I learn? Be careful next time.
