Some Good Advice



I am still a young ham, and learning new ways to improve the quality of DX
signals. Last summer, I received some help from a knowledgeable ham who

Yaesu FT 891 Install And First Contact

If you are thinking of adding a new radio to your shack or mobile check out
this video on the new Yaesu FT-891! It is my opinion that you cant go wrong
with the FT-891. I found it easy to set up, has great sound. Yaesu has even
enlarged the display from what was on the FT-857D! The FT-891 is replacing
my FT-857D in my mobile.

Im doing an independent survey on college ham radio clubs to help generate
a list of active clubs, clubs in need, and colleges with no club but
students with interest. If youre a student, alumni, faculty, or staff,
please take a minute to add your college club to the survey. Dont worry if
you think someones done it already - that shows me your club is even more
active!
