Best way to learn Morse Code
Morse Code is no longer required to get an Amateur Radio license, but many Hams still use the code because they like it. Morse has several advantages over voice (SSB) signals, and often it will 'get through' under weak propagation conditions, when voice signals are too faint to be understood.

Clandestine 2-meter antenna
Hiding an antenna has often been a problem for Amateur Radio operators, but we Hams have developed a reputation for tinkering and using our brains to get around technical difficulties.

Ham radio operation??
I am An aspiring amateur radio operator but I have no Idea were to begin. Can someone give me a hand and give me some instruction. I am really (for lack of a better term) “in awe” about radios in general and I would really like to do something with them.
P.S. I don’t have an exorbitant amount of money either

What instrumentation and method do I use to measure the RF strength from my antenna?
Radio theory is one thing, but actual measurements are another. The equipment isn't expensive, but it is time-consuming.
