Renewing Ham Radio license
ARRL 600 Meter Experiment Coordinator Fritz Raab, W1FR, said the mission of the multi-station experimental operation “has actually been accomplished, ” but since the US still has no medium-frequency (MF) Amateur Service allocation, he believes the Experimental license ought to be renewed. Raab commented…
Ham Radio without license
The FCC stopped sending out CB licenses decades ago – yet the lack of one triggered a $15K penalty. The FCC fined a man named John Hays $15, for operating a Citizens Band radio without a license. Wait a minute. You don’t need a license for a CB radio. Well, okay, technically you do, but it’s not something…

Vertical Antennas for Ham Radio
It depends upon what you choose to compare it against, and on which bands. For example I would expect it to perform fairly well against something like an 18AVT on the HF bands, however it will not work anything like as well as a 132ft wire on the LF bands. I estimate 8 to 10dB worse on 80m and 20 to…

Ham Radio antenna Calculator
~ Calculator Notes ~ fo = Antenna tuned frequency in MHz. = Length (feet) of a 1/2 wave ant. (dipole), based on 95% of electrical wavelength, considering end effects. f(MHz) = Signal frequency in MHz. M = Signal wavelength (l) in meters. VSWR = Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (n). Pr = Reflected Power (%), expressed as a percentage of the incident power for a specific VSWR. P =…

Ham Radio antenna types
Antennas are electrical circuits designed to facilitate the transmission and/or reception of electromagnetic radiation. Antennas are specifically designed to transmit/receive as much electromagnetic radiation as possible, whereas most circuits are designed to emit/detect as little as possible. However, even a dummy load will emit a small amount of electromagnetic energy when…
