As you’re probably aware, communications right before, during and after a disaster will be critical to getting out o dodge, finding family members, or helping others stay alive. With the Internet, cell-phone towers and potentially even satellites being down, you may have to rely on HAM radio and other two-way radio services to send and ... Read more
Your first Amateur radio antenna. The all time favorite Ham Radio wire antenna is the half-wavelength, center-fed, dipole. It is easy to build and it performs adequately. The dipole is the reference used to measure the performance of the other antennas. It's the base line. The dipole is a great reference point for amateur radio because you can actually build one (yes you can). And on some of the lower bands, most amateur radio operators will be using these. So you don't have to worry about pile-ups your never going to be able to break. There is also less competition on these bands since most everyone is using the same type of antenna as you... A wire. As well as the lower bands although very noisy at times are very forgiving regarding antennas, so a dipole works just great. Unlike on the upper UHF bands where you need a 11 element plus yagi just to hear anything at any decent distance. Ham Radio Wire Antennas ....or....Copper Wire Antennas...have great benefits: They are inexpensive to build and make. or they're dozens of pre-made designs built by other amateur operators to choose from. They are simple to put up in the air. (find a tree and your good to go). Or if your still worried about Zombies, you can put one in your attic. You can even really cheap out and feed them with inexpensive feed line...like ladder line! Wow what could be better?

BaoFeng radios like the UV-5R and BF-F8HP are some of the most popular ham radios in the world. They can be found for as little as $25, and sometimes even cheaper in bulk. Their price and features make them mainstays in bug out bags and on plate carriers around the world. They’re often derided by
My favorite ham activity is making contacts via satellites. Not only is there the romantic notion of sending messages into outer space, but you have to

A simple BaoFeng Antenna Upgrade might be all you need to extend the range and functionality of your budget ham radio!
There's a lot of HAM radio forums out there. We've compiled a complete list of HAM radio forums for you here to browse, as well as our thoughts on each.
Four element, two meter beam, elements can be tubular aluminum, solid aluminum, or for low terrestrial noise, use fiberglass elements. This beam may be installed vertical, or horizontal.For optimum performance and gain, feed with BUX COMM "VBALUN." Four element, six meter beam, elements can be tubular aluminum, solid aluminum, or for less terrestrial noise, use fiberglass elements. This beam may be installed vertical, or horizontal.
Diy Tape Measure Yagi Antenna for Ham Radio: Today we are going to build a Yagi antenna designed for 2 meter and 70 cm ham radio bands. It can be used to communicate with amature radio satellites or to assist in getting into that repeater that is just a little to far away. I am currently atten…
This Biophone-inspired* ham radio "go box" was a long-planned and often-delayed project. The box contains a small two-way radio and a battery, and by flipping a couple of switches, attaching a quick-connect antenna, and releasing a velcro strap on the microphone, I can be on the air in seconds. It first saw service during the 2018 Honolulu Marathon, operating for 13 hours at Net Control. I had it hooked up to an external battery and antenna. It worked very well. The box is a Nanuk 905. The radio is a Luiton LT-898UV 10 watt dual-band mobile. Internal power is from a 3.4 AH sealed lead-acid battery. A speaker with a cut-off switch and a headphone jack with volume control lets me use either or both without having to readjust the radio volume or unplug the headphone. It's roughly 10" x 12" x 6", and weighs about 9½ lbs. ------- *Biocom's Biophone 3502 was a paramedic telemetry radio made famous by the 1970s NBC TV series Emergency!, which portrayed the Los Angeles County Fire Department's paramedic program. Paramedics used the Biophone to communicate with and send EKGs to the supervising doctor at the hospital emergency department.

When I’m driving free, the world’s my homeWhen I’m mobileHee hoo!Beep beep!– Pete Townshend, The Who, Goin’ MobileGoing mobile. Yeah, that’s a great idea! Installing a ham radio mobile station in an automobile is often the next step for many hams following the establishment of a home station or perhaps as the upgrade from an HT. A ham radio mobile installation greatly expands the utility of amateur radio and increases the opportunity of time to get on the air. [Video of this mobile station in op
