Field Day is the biggest ham radio event of the year. Our club is setting up 5 stations on a hilltop. Come operate!

Getting your Technician license

The Technician exam is 35 multiple choice questions. Study the question pool for 2 weeks and you will pass. Resources inside.

Built a 20m dipole in my attic. Works surprisingly well! Also trying a magnetic loop for stealth operation.

Best first HF radio
Jul 11, 2026 11:54 pm
Icom IC-706MKIIG covers HF through UHF in one box. Used ones are around $600. Great first all-band radio.

Does this work for everyone or just certain setups? Asking because my situation is a bit different.

Ham radio is the last communication system standing in a disaster. ARES and RACES training is essential.
