Julian's (OH8STN) Challenge And a Shortened 80m Vertical Antenna.
Can a small Morse-code radio be successfully used to call for help? Julian OH8STN challenges me to contact someone to relay my position to a friend. Also a quick look at the Lake Eyre quarter-wave vertical antenna for 80m. And oh, yes, challenge accepted! https://www.patreon.com/radioprepper DISCLAIMER: The Radio Prepper logo (depicting a microphone) is indeed inspired from a famous flag created in 1775.

After breaking my Nagoya NL-770S VHF UHF antenna I bought two replacements and checked the SWR after installation on my Land Cruiser 70. The antenna was spot-on right out of the box, so not much to show, but the procedure is pretty simple. I suggest having a look at the Nano VNA antenna analyser for this, or using a regular VHF SWR meter.
Nagoya NL-770S on Ebay, or the longer NL-770R:

It worked so well last time on 2m USB with my Icom IC-251E that I decided to try my PRC-352 on 6m FM and the RT3S dual band DMR handheld on DMR DH3 simplex. No luck this time.

Presentation of the TYT MD-680 DMR UHF Handheld Radio for SHTF use. NOTE: The radio does not have TS1 & TS2 but TS0 & TS1, so it can't be used with amateur repeaters, though it will talk to the MD-380 and MD-390 radios in simplex. It does analog as well of course, no problem there.

The Spiderbeam (spiderbeam.com) antenna mast is 40ft long, made of fiberglass and pretty thick. Here I test it with a light half-wave wire on 20m, the OA-144 2m omnidirectional antenna, a 135ft wire in inverted-V configuration and the PAR 40/20/10 end-fed in the beautiful fortified city of Montreuil, North of France.

Les radios PMR 446 (pas 466!) sont très populaires en France. Quelques mots sur la règlementation, la portée de ces walkie talkies et leur utilisation pour le prepping. Vous verrez deux contacts surprenants et aussi pourquoi l'utilisation de ces radios est un sujet controversé en France...

Use a 49:1 or 64:1 impedance transformer with a 43 materiel toroid. The wire must be a half-wave long.

A great spot for radio at the Mont Macaron, North-East of Nice. Marco and I set up on a hilltop with VHF and HF radios, Elecraft K1, Icom IC-251E, PRC-352 and FT-817.

Ce walkie-talkie est vendu par paire et se programme avec un PC. Il peut donc fonctionner sur les fréquences PMR et amateur UHF.
