A Lemmy Community to share links about and for amateur (ham) radio to advance the technology, and promote communication and international goodwill. This community IS NOT for CB, GMRS, MURS, FRS, etc topics unless they are related to ham radio in some way.

We won't tolerate personal insults, illegal activity, or anything contrary to good amateur practice.

If asking questions about regulations, please include your country because we recognize that, while the hobby is international, regulations often aren't.

If you make or buy a handheld yagi antenna, you can usually get several good passes in a day since you can work the station at a lower elevation. The voice repeater is usually very busy during daytime passes, it's easier to get through on the digipeater.
