Harold Melton, KV5R has an VERY informative Ladder Line site that is a must read. Click HERE

"If you run an all-band dipole (with a tuner in the shack), you need ladder-line. Coax is very lossy when operated at high SWR. It’s easy to lose 75% of your power in your coax when operating on bands where the non-resonant dipole presents a high feedpoint impedance to the feedline."

QRZ.com is a great site for adding personality to your call sign and keeping track of your contacts on HF. A lot of hams will run your call through QRZ.com when they hear or make a contact with you.  Check it out!


 

There are lots of places to buy Radio's and Ham gear...

 

But HRO / Ham Radio Outlet in my experience has been one of the better values online. Right up there with Amazon.com

Hillsdale College is working to make 2016 the "Year of the Constitution," dedicating this year to educating millions of Americans about this critical document. That's why the College is offering its most popular course, "Constitution 101" for free, when you sign up now.
