Radio Loaner Program
Our club member only radio loaner program is underway. We are in the process of putting together the ‘go boxes’ which will include either a Kenwood HF or TenTec HF radio, coax cable and an end fed or 10-meter diplole wire antenna. These loaner kits are for new technician/general class license holders to help you get on the air quickly. Loaner equipment is available only to club members in good standing for a month at a time. More information is available during our monthly meetings.
The above snip from a logbook is proof that with a little Ten Tec at 100 watts and a simple 19-foot 10-m dipole anything is possible.
