If you want to be effective in ham radio, the answer should be YES to both. This month, we will show you, and help you build a simple, inexpensive 2-meter antenna. Once completed, you can use the antenna with your favorite handheld or mobile radio. Sometimes the best upgrade to your radio is a better antenna!
This is our first of many club project meetings, where you will get to take home more than just knowledge. We hope to see you online, or on-the-air. Getting Started Zoom instructions can be found here:
