Announcements
I am trying to gather up and plan a antenna building day for us. This is a fairly easy to build type of antenna and a great one for all usage. It is the cheapest and most used type of antenna in ham radio. I know a lot of you are planning to upgrade to General and this will be a good time to think about building you an antenna to use when you get your first HF rig. Please read about dipole antennas and please think about what band you might want to build one for. I also need to know who all will be interested in building one so that I can plan for it! Please reply and let me know! If you have questions, please ask.
Thanks!
I will let you all know when the build day will be and will probably get in touch with you beforehand.
