EFHW That Plays Nice With HOA (#1403)

@skee-w4fnp wants to put up an EFHW, in a U configuration, that will give him the most resonance but not be visible to the prowling HOA inspectors. What will Dave suggest for such a setup?

HF Amateur Radio Works Because of This...

This video details HF skywave propagation, explaining how the ionosphere bends radio waves for long-distance radio communication. We explore how solar flare and other space weather events impact high frequency signals, affecting global communications. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for amateur radio operators and anyone interested in radio propagation.

APRS Chat LIVE – Does This Actually Work? - Ham Nuggets Live Season 7 Episode 15

Let’s warm up our APRS stations and join in a group chat. I want to see if we can crash the APRS app that I’m building!

Most APRS messages are sent into the void and nobody is listening. A select few are actually directed to a human being… This time, we’re intentionally trying to talk to a group of people – kinda like a net, but it runs all day long!

You Can’t TX without an Antenna (MYTH)

Modern radios are designed to fold back their power if there is an issue. Don’t run it without an antenna – just proving that you won’t brick it without one.
