This video, which I, KØIP, just found
by accident
REALLY hits home...
She talks a lot about HF radios, but stresses that antennas
are probably the most important part of a station. and QRP only
leads to frustration.
something to avoid if your a beginner ..
Closer to the end of the video, she starts hitting on VHF radios,
about DMR, Fusion, D-star and a bunch of other junk that just
clutters up your radio.
and of course talks about the famous
Baofeng blunder..
if you've already got one, well it was only $30,
now go get one you can program without a computer.
I really think there is a lot of good information
in this video and not a bunch of YouTube BS.
Watch the entire video, take in what
she's saying
