Technical BS??
I need to buy/make some antennas for my SDR. I loaded the software, plugged it in and was able to pick up one local AM station off the antenna connector without any antenna to prove that it worked.
And this is the type of stuff I would have been attending live last weekend except that Dayton Hamvention was cancelled because of the Chinese Death Plague.
I’d recommend WA5VJB’s log periodic antennas.
As far as I know, every ham radio convention in our area is canceled through September.
