How to replace the VRM-5080 tank radio channel memory battery by a Varta CR 1/2 AA 3V lithium (3.26V measured), which should last a long while. It is a very easy procedure once you know which screws to unscrew and in which module the battery is located. BTW I had already programmed channel 0 off-camera.

Small Morse-code radios are reliable enough for survival purposes. I will demonstrate it again and again, and again. NOTE: There is no competition between Julian and I; watch your comments.

The only way I can get on HF in my small apartment now is using a magnetic loop antenna. Follow the build and learn more about this awesome and efficient small antenna. This one turned out pretty good :-)

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.

A first look at the Chameleon CHA Emcomm III portable wire antenna. As with other Chameleon products it is well built and the long wire promises good performance. I made a few contacts on 20m even though the wire was slung too low to offer a good angle of radiation. Further testing is needed on different bands using different configurations. I am very curious about using it on 80m. Frequency: 10M - 160M. Power: 100W SSB or 50W CW. Length: 73' + 25' Copper Clad KEVLAR PTFE (Teflon) (-70°C to 150°C) wire. Weight: 1.5 Lb.

You will benefit greatly from having a good ground for compromise antennas shorter than a half-wave. Note that grounding your station is a good idea no matter what kind of antenna you use. It does get rid of eventual stray RF currents and may improve your signal.

A great transceiver for just $49! The QCX has a ton of features and outputs a few Watts of Morse code awesomeness. I chose 80m for its NVIS capability for regional contacts, a very important range for preppers.

Unexpected things happen in radio, and this is a prime example of something seemingly impossible on VHF 2m FM with 4W, and yet, here we are... Also included is a description of my next project, an HF 20/30/40m magnetic loop antenna. No contact with the VRM-5080 military tank radio on 6m FM.
