This site is mainly dedicated to Radio Field-Operations. If you haven't tried it, Ham Radio and Camping are a very fun combination!! What's not to like about an S0
noise level !! (And maybe throw a telescope in there, too).
So here, I try to give some hints about things that are tried and true. I like cheap and easy, but also won't ever recommend something unless it really works!! For instance, those little magnetic-loop antennas are easy to transport and set up, but if no-one can hear you when you call out with one, what's the point ??
The focus here will be mainly on field antennas, radio go-boxes, DC power sources, and a few camping tips thrown in.
About me: I'm a Professional Camper, and the undisputed King of Radio Field Operations (well, if anyone wants to challenge me on that second one, I might back down. HaHa!!)
Thanks for visiting, and check back often, as I'll be adding new stuff. Lets get out there and have fun !!
