New to Ham Radio?
We Know How That Feels.
You get your first radio, pass your test… and then what?
Most new hams feel a little lost. It's tough figuring out what to say on air, what settings to use, or how to build confidence without someone to walk you through it.
You're not alone and you don’t have to figure it out alone anymore.
