I’ve used the Yaesu FT-60R for 18 years. It was my very first Ham Radio purchase. While I still enjoy using this radio, I thought I would explore some other options. So I reached out to Radioddity and received the GS-5B. Will the GS-5B become my new every day use hand-held radio, or will I continue the quest for a suitable replacement for the unreplaceable FT-60R?

I found this CW Keyer on Amazon for under $35 and I absolutely love what I can do with it. Not only can it be used for practicing Morse code, but it is also a very useful addition to my portable ham radio station. I can quickly and easily program Morse code into the keyer to send over the airwaves with the push of a button. I can also adjust my CW speed with the turn of a dial.

I checked my mailbox a couple days ago and this was inside! I am excited to get this ham radio antenna set up and put to the test. I’ll be doing a video on tuning it and on a field test while doing Summits on the Air.

It’s correctly pointed out that you don’t need a regulated power supply when you have a solar system. You should power your DC radios directly from your DC power source… the battery.

My friend Malen VE6VID was visiting Arizona from Canada this week. I was able to join him on one of his Summits on the Air excursions. I drove back into the Hickey Mountain area, near Jerome, Arizona. We hiked the summit and got on our ham radios.

I love to review portable Morse code paddles. I am constantly on the lookout for new and interesting designs. I stumbled upon this one and immediately ordered it. It will be included in my Morse code paddle series after I field test it.

Ham Radio Emergency Nets are in place to give stations an opportunity to test their radio equipment. Many hams feel it is important to run their stations using off-grid power. Here is my off-grid power setup. Also, in order to have more reliable communications, hams often communicate through a repeater.
