Between the PRC-349 and PRC-351 you find the PRC-350 portable military radio. It is pretty compact, covers 36 to 56 MHz FM and outputs 2W. While pretty small compared to the 351/352, it still isn't as practical for prepping as a modern handheld, but could be part of a group communications plan. It is also very inexpensive for the quality you get. Yet I would not recommend it but for a limited set of applications due to their age. 6m FM is a great band, under-used and under-appreciated.

No idea why this antenna did not work, does anyone know? It would have been nice to have an efficient and short 40m antenna, but you just can't bend the laws of physics. https://www.patreon.com/radioprepper DISCLAIMER: The Radio Prepper logo (depicting a microphone) is indeed inspired from a famous flag created in 1775.

This week-end, Patrick, Frederic and I go to the perched village of Chateauneuf Villevieille for radio operations. First contact with the Racal VRM-5080 military tank radio on 6m FM, but also CB out of the LJ-70, some Morse code on 30m with the SW/ME-30 QRP transceiver and 2m simplex with the Retevis RT3S. Using half-wave end-fed antennas for 6 and 30m. An excellent week-end end and breathtaking view!

Not just for radios, but how to protect your electronic devices against an electro magnetic pulse, AKA EMP cause by a solar storm coronal mass ejection or a nuclear explosion. It is a good lightning protection as well.

Surprising results between using a T106-2 and FT-140-43 for a 9:1 UNUN and random wire antenna. I really thought the FT-140-43 would win... You will also have a quick look at the beautiful scenery at the Col de Vence and Granges de la Brasque.

I really would have liked a Yaesu VX-7R for the 6m FM band but they are very hard to find on the used market and quite expensive, so I opted for a VX6 and unlocked it. The radio has great features for prepping including a wide-band receiver from 500kHz to 900mHz. https://www.patreon.com/radioprepper DISCLAIMER: The Radio Prepper logo (depicting a microphone) is indeed inspired from a famous flag created in 1775.

Testing FT8Call I stumbled upon Julian on the 20m band and managed a contact with him using my KX2 and a half-wave end-fed wire on a 49:1 transformer.
