Since building a 6m coaxial dipole in January 2016 and later a 2m coaxial dipole in February 2018, I have often thought how a monoband half-wave vertical coaxial dipole would perform on 28 MHz. Sum…
Sirio Gain Master Antenna Review Vertical base station CB antennas are the most commonly used type of antenna for base installs. Traditionally there has been a large assortment to choose from with many different manufacturers making the claim that their antenna was the best.

Seven good ideas for amateur radio operators forced due to space restrictions, to operate on HF and VHF ham radio bands from apartments with heavy antenna limitations
My Experiment in Building a Vertical Dipole Antenna: This project came about when I decided to pull out an old Corba 148 GTL cb I have had in storage for many years. I dont really use it much except for projects like this because CB bands have went to toilet talk and I really dont want to listen to …
Types of ham radios Ham radio is a diverse hobby that includes a wide variety of interests, and it’s also
Amateur radio or better known as ham radio is a great hobby to get into. And it is not hard to get a license.

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?
All you need to know if you want to use the Raspberry PI as a Ham Radio computer. Hardware, Software, Setup.

Programming Cable for Baofeng UV-5R Radio With Arduino: One may have a 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo audio cable laying around. This, a couple of jumper wires and a spare Arduino Uno are sufficient to make programming cable for a Baofeng UV-5RV2+ radio! Could work with other radios too! "Programming" the radio…
I’m gonna take a confusing subject and hopefully demystify it. Antenna Gain is a popular subject amongst hams. We talk about gain all the time, we’ll compare antenna systems and apply values to as how impressive they are by their gain figures. But what exactly is antenna gain, and what do those numbers mean to […]

A two-way radio allows you to communicate with others over a set distance. For emergency prep, HAM radios are the best option.They are reliable and even handheld options can transmit upto 50miles.

Like many hams, my first radio was a used purchase. Way back in 1999 I bought a dual band Alinco DJ-G5T handheld radio off of eBay. I didn’t know what I was doing (radio wise) so fortunately the transaction was a good one and that radio served me well for a few years as I […]
Citizens' Band radio (often shortened to CB radio) is, in many countries, a system of short-distance radio communications between individuals on a selection of 40 channels within the 27-MHz (11 m) band. The CB radio service is distinct from FRS, GMRS, MURS, or amateur ("ham") radio. In many countries, CB does not require a [...]
