    CQ100 - Virtual Ham Radio

    I subscribe to CQ100 and like the fact that I can use it when not near my radio. I also like the new addition of CQTV for sending pictures. Coupled with my Echolink, I can enjoy HAM radio when away or from here in Iraq. I realize it isn't the real thing but adequate in it's self. Enjoy it for...

    Help me assemble my field station

    The military antenna mast would be a much cheaper and portable idea. They have them on Ebay for around $25. Just make sure you get the metal not fiberglass.
