Today I take a look at the Baofeng A58S Tri-band radio!

I am not sure this radio is FCC approved, which might be why it’s not on Amazon.

In this video Ham Radfio Dude and myself set out to do a POTA/SOTA in the sierras and find snow. We set up my portable Moxon at about 10′ off the ground and make contacts.

Not long ago I purchased the Cha Hybrid-Mini from Chameleon Antennas. This is the 500 watt SSB and 250w for CW version and just a bit larger than the Micro. I all ready had the rest of the parts to make-up their Cha Mpas Lite antenna. I wanted to test it against a Dipole and do it at the same time so band conditions would skew the results. So follow along and see what I found out!

In this video I show a article from QST magazine that is from April 1993 on how to build a 2 meter Yagi for 7 bucks. With inflation you might actually be able to build it for the price of a Fast Food Meal Lol.
