    Ham Radio Equipment Ideas for QRP Operation #20 Season 4

    Chris N1CLC joins me tonight to talk about equipment for ham radio QRP stations. We will dive into some of the more obscure equipment ideas that we have tried, and tell you how they worked in the field. This will be a modified version of the “what’s in your pack” or “SOTA pack loadout” topic, with special emphasis on gear that may not be very common across QRP stations. Dan KC7MSU and Brian W7JET each have a conflict so we invited Chris N1CLC to fill in for this episode.
