The 10m band is wide open this morning, and is like shooting fish in a

On FT4/8, what does 'CQ QRP xnxxx yyxx' mean?

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:45 AM PDT https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/vyamtv/on_ft48_what_does_cq_qrp_xnxxx_yyxx_mean/


I understand what QRP means, what Im wondering is what it meant by this specific CQ format. Are they saying that they are a QRP station? (I would expect "CQ xnxxx/QRP" in that case) Or, are they asking that only QRP
stations respond?

Put up 40 M EFHW today.

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 03:02 PM PDT https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/vyf8dp/put_up_40_m_efhw_today/


These are the SWR readings I took, focusing on the phone portions of the
bands for General. Do these look reasonable? They look better than what I
was expecting. Is it possible I could use it on 6 bands with a tuner? Only
one way to find out I guess. https://preview.redd.it/vd082dtqreb91.jpg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4175fe29adf8881cc6b3f130805d61c4751b6ae3

Moved in to an apartment and thinking a magnetic loop antenna would be the best, anyone have recommendations?

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 05:53 AM PDT https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/vy2j3y/moved_in_to_an_apartment_and_thinking_a_magnetic/


Im looking for a mag loop, or any suggestions apartment wise, on an
antenna. Id like to do 6m to HF to 40M. 6M isnt a must have, but want it at least up to 40m. Also something that can handle 100w on ssb for digital?
Also portable would be a good bonus for me to take when Im out camping. submitted by /u/Ddraig

FM Newbie Here! - question about coax adapter for antenna

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 02:39 PM PDT https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/vyeoan/fm_newbie_here_question_about_coax_adapter_for/


I have a NIO-T15B FM transmitter. It has the small size RF output for oax
but I got an antenna that is a SUNWIN 1/4 Wave Pro GP antenna and the coax
has a much larger (RG8?) size coax
Is there an adapter for this?

Studying for technician license

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 02:27 PM PDT https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/vyeety/studying_for_technician_license/


I have the HAM radio for dummies book and already have a baofeng for
playing around with (minus transmitting). I was just wondering if there’s anything extra to study that would help prepare me for the test. I have
done a few online practice tests but they’re honestly kind of all over the place with what they ask. Any advice is appreciated. submitted by

Will a cheap laptop run n1mm logging software? FT8?

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:52 AM PDT https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/vyas5t/will_a_cheap_laptop_run_n1mm_logging_software_ft8/


I am looking at a laptop for logging purposes, I suspect a bottom of the
line computer will handle n1mm just fine, but do I need a high powered
laptop for FT8 and other digital modes? So far I am just working voice
modes. I am hoping to get something inexpensive. submitted by
