Pencil Box Radio Kit
Super light weight but capable emergency/SOTA/POTA radio system which fits inside a pencil box. The whole box weighs 1lb 9oz. I forgot to mention in the video that I also frequently use a fiberglass mast instead of a tree branch. The pole is rigid enough to be free standing when slid over a piece of 3/8x18" rebar (half shrink wrapped for damage mitigation) which I also carry. Since I didn't have a lot of time to make this video, it was shot in a single take with no script. So, on occasion when I use an odd word, or miss a point, please allow that I was rushed.
I hope this kit inspires you in your endeavors.
Also huge thanks to

Ham Technician Study #1 (7/15/21)
This is a video recording of a ZOOM study session for the Technician license. Please excuse the poor quality. I am learning and improving on the presentation, and teaching technique. I had intended to show the actual test questions in the video, but forgot to switch off of the radio interface. I will endeavor to increase the production quality in subsequent videos. Thanks for stopping by my channel. 73! N7CWR
