Congratulations
Right now I only have a Baofeng HH that I Haven’t read the manual for. I heard the can be a bear to program.
One of the members is going to loan/ give me a radio a family member donated to the club from a silent key.
I’m thinking of mounting an inverted V dipole on a 4x4 about 14’ up. I’m near the top of a fair size hill so it should get out.
I was going to put a di-pole in the attic but forgot that I have a metal roof so I don’t think that’ll work.![]()
I guess its just about following the rules.How does one get “caught” operating a HAM radio without a license? I have Baofeng GMRS radios that also operate on HAM frequencies. If I did this, who would know? What’s the penalty?
The Icom 7300 is what I have and will do pretty much everything you need for long range coms. It's pretty easy to use.At the behest of my “Elmer” I am seriously considering the ubiquitous Icom IC7300 and building a half wave inverted V dipole for HF once I pass my General.
I plan on a J Pole to hit my clubs 2 meter repeater.
Any experience with the Icom?
I was considering a Yaesu but hear the menus are a pain to deal with.
I’m soon to be 70 so I don’t know how many more trips around Sol I’ve got. But then no one knows.
I just don’t want to buy “budget” and regret it and have to upgrade.
