Two new stories from Fall of 2022 show how Ham Radio can literally save lives, even in these modern times. Cell phone networks can be unreliable in many areas – and sometimes you simply can’t get to a phone. These 2 stories were shared on the ARRL website and I think they both make great examples of how Ham Radio is not only relevant, but NEEDED by many, still today.

A discussion of the challenges and limitations of SWR testing for VHF/UHF antennas. While SWR measurements can provide valuable insight into the performance of an antenna, they can also be misleading and inaccurate. In this video, we start our exploration of this by measuring 4 antennas:
