Yesterday's exam results and certificate numbers were released today, which shows a very efficient process by the relevant authorities.
I'm looking for recommendations for shortwave radio and related equipment, such as antennas, with a total budget of no more than 4950 RMB.
The radio station's requirements are as follows:
- Frequency coverage: HF and 50 MHz
- Certified
- Power does not exceed 15W
- Includes a spectrum plot.
- Support FT8 (SSB not considered for beginners initially)
Antenna requirements:
- Currently, my home lacks the infrastructure to install anything other than a small indoor loop antenna. I am only considering non-fixed antennas that can be used for field operation.
- We accept both finished antennas and DIY antennas, but at least one full-sized finished antenna must be included as a backup.
Other devices:
- Astrophysical instrument, astronomical tuning
- Power supply
Since I have no experience buying used equipment, I would prefer to purchase new items. Could anyone recommend some good options? Thank you!
