Today we welcome Howard from The Long Island CW Club! The LICW Club consists of amateur radio enthusiasts who are passionate about using Morse code, also known as CW, to communicate.
For those who may not be familiar, CW is a method of communicating using Morse code, which is a series of dots and dashes that represent letters and numbers. Ham radio operators have been using CW for over a century to communicate with each other and participate in contests and other events.
Today we discuss about learning Morse Code, How to practice, Why to join a club to learn, and the atmosphere of Online sessions/classes.
If you're interested in learning more about CW and the world of ham radio,
I invite you to watch this stream and join the LICW community. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, you'll find something of value here.

Welcome! This video is an overview of the Retevis RT82. FAIR WARNING: I don't go into the audio quality much (nearly at all), as that will be done during the review. This is more of a feature overview.
This radio may be for anyone looking to get into DMR, but also wanting UHF/VHF for a low budget.
This radio was sent to me by Retevis for a fair review.

The RT82 is unlocked, which means you can probably use it for FRS and GMRS. I figured, someone would ask so I would post it here.
UPDATE: After 2 Days, the radio still performs without issue after the torture test

The video is geared towards you if you are building a EFHW kit with a 49:1 Ratio.
An Easy Assembly Guide for a 49:1 EFHW (It doesn't even need to be this kit). The kit I use will get 4 bands (40,20,15.10) if wrapped this way.
If you did not buy the HRD Industries kit, most of this stuff still applies.
This does not include any other instruction except the actual build. Antenna wire cutting will come later. I have confirmed this antenna and build to acquire 4 bands. I'll have charts and stuff later.
