Back by Popular Demand, the IC-7200 HF Rig is Here!

by

As you may have noticed, our IC-7200 HF/50 MHz Transceiver is back! Usually when a rig is discontinued it is because the parts are no longer available. However the demand was so high for this rig, that when you asked, we were able to make it happen. I’m delighted that we can get more of these fantastic transceivers into the field.

Built for the Outdoors

A small and compact radio, the optional MB-116 front handles protect the front buttons and knobs. It also has a rear bumper that protects all the connectors on the back of the radio, helping to keep the elements out. In fact, it was the perfect transceiver for the Scouting loan stations that we put together some for local Boy Scout Councils. Read More...

Because the Olympics will be seen by millions of people across the world, athlete’s preparations must be finely tuned with their teams in order to reach the ultimate readiness. Just like the athletes preparing for the Olympics, boaters must be prepared with finely tuned equipment for their extended travels on the water.

Communication is a key component of safely traveling the open ocean and inland waters. Read More...

N9JA on Amateur Radio Contesting

by

CQ Contest CQ Contest…. for some, these are poetic words.  I can say I am one!

For me, contesting allows me to pit myself against the powers of the sun and propagation gods/goddesses.  To eek out that one weak QSO while RF bombards the airwaves is very exciting  and rewarding, especially when working a contest from the WEST COAST!

While I have had the pleasure of working a contest from the K3LR Multi-Multi station, being part of an incredible team, I enjoy the solo effort as N9JA as well as running the N7IH club station during the CQ WW Phone contest. Read More...
