triint Improve your operating skills, get some good antennas, and try QRP, or wait a year and a half to pass the license exam. A 15W shortwave radio – you can use it to listen to stations from anywhere.
BI1LWR I really want to give the new HAM a chance to practice and improve their skills, not just immediately shout out loud at a high power level.
BH2VYJ 1、抓紧时间A证设台(既然有呼号了,那么题主肯定已经设台了) 2、使用A证设台满6个月,抓紧时间报B证(假设题主是呼号下来之后立刻注册hamcq账号,那么肯定还没满足时间,需要耐心等待) 3、B证考试通过,抓紧时间设置一个15W以内的短波台(icom 705,协谷x6100,协谷g106c,yaesu ft817,yaesu ft818等) 4、使用B证设台满18个月,抓紧时间报C证 5、使用C证设台
BG4IJK BH2VYJ 6. While you're operating the shortwave radio station with a B license, don't just sit around idle. Find some activities to participate in, take photos, and this will be helpful for future nationwide photo shoots.😈
BG2KAJ Starting from last year, with a transmission power of 15W in the high-frequency band, it's definitely possible to achieve DX (long-distance communication), and at least allows you to enjoy playing 5.8 years
BG5VLI 😥I'm already in the city, and I can only get 15W... This means I can only use CW and weak signal data modes. It's not easy to install an antenna on a high-rise building, whether you're up or down. Also, it doesn't feel very safe due to the strong wind and the need to hold onto the fishing rod.
SuoYuC Whether it's 5W or 15W makes no difference; messing with power output is less effective than dealing with the incoming power supply. Connecting a dummy load of 1kW can only be used as an electric heater.
BG4TRF Back then, a Class 3, 25W radio had frequency restrictions, but it still came through. Let's take the exam quickly, before it's too late.
BH6ABO A frequency of 15W with no saliva detection is sufficient; this tests the antenna's efficiency and the receiver's noise environment. Although I'm a 100-watt device, I usually only use around 20 watts. I keep it plugged in to a VarAC adapter and use it to check email, send pictures, and chat with people. Even a 20W signal can reach Argentina and Uruguay (South America) without any problems.
BI1LWR BH6ABO Why do Argentina and Uruguay have so many international flights? I also have a 6100 10W unit that has worked well for several Argentine and Uruguayan users.
BH4ERY Currently, I'm operating at 20W, and SSB also allows me to communicate with many people. FT8 is even better, and I can easily reach the US, Brazil, and Europe while using FT8 at 1W.
SuoYuC BI1LWR I recommend checking what antenna the person on the other end is using after they've completed their FT8 transmission.
BG2LHM If you don't want to take the C exam, then focus on improving your skills and quickly move beyond the basic level. Learning how to use a spinning reel effectively is also important. Actually, a 15W reel isn't that bad.
