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:

CH-5030 Single-Lever Portable Morse Code Paddle

If you’re into ham radio field operations or learning Morse code, this could be the perfect addition to your kit. The single-lever design might seem like a novelty at first, but it actually makes sending Morse code a little easier and more efficient. We’ll discuss the product’s build quality, ease of use, and overall performance so that you can make an informed decision about whether the CH-5030 is the right Morse code paddle for you.
