CountyComm GP 7 – General Purpose Radio | The Features I Wanted!

Post author By admin
Post date April 1, 2022

County Comm sent me a GP-7 to take a look at. It is the upgrade to the GP-5, a radio I own, so I was able to compare the two. I find the GP-7 includes all the features I wanted to see the GP-5 and is also more selected when compared against each other.

County Comm GP-7 is here: https://countycomm.com/collections/radio/products/countycomm-gp-5-ssb-general-purpose-radio
(Note to viewers, this radio was sent to me by CountyComm as I owner and purchased the GP-5 and reviewed it. I believe I remained objective and compare both radios fairly)

Telescopic QRP HF Antennas Tested – Are They Trash?

Post author By admin
Post date March 26, 2022

Many hams starting out in HF see the appeal of these highly portable antennas and think its the gateway to the air waves. They aren’t cheap however. Building a simple wire antenna is pennies on the dollar cheaper and more effective. They are convenient though. Or are they? There are things that are left unsaid on the instructions, today we will talk about those things.
