Elecraft KH1 Morse Code Paddle Performance

My initial thoughts on the Morse code paddle that comes with the Elecraft #KH1. I should probably do a full review and add it to my series.

Finding Which End of A Feedline is Faulty

Finding Which End of A Feedline is Faulty

I have a friend, I’ll call him Tuje (pronounced Tooge). He has decades of experience in commercial VHF/UHF radio communications. He wants to share his knowledge, but he also wants to remain anonymous. I offered to host his videos on my channel. So here is another video in an ongoing series of helpful videos, primarily relating to VHF communications, but certainly not limited to that topic.

No Portable HF Radio? The Xiegu G106 Can Get You Started.

No Portable HF Radio?  The Xiegu G106 Can Get You Started.

A ham radio operator who is enthusiastic about getting into Summits on the Air soon learns that a high quality portable HF SSB radio can really expand the enjoyment of this program. Sure, you can participate with a UHF/VHF handheld, but unless you know Morse code, you are looking at a substantial expense to get on HF SSB transceiver. Not everybody can drop $1000 plus on a new radio. Many are faced with the choice of no portable HF radio or spending more than the can afford. This is where the Xiegu G106 comes in, as a "bridge radio".
