OMEGA+ radio is a compact and portable HF , 4m + 6m amateur radio Transceiver for QRP, Portable, SOTA operations.

This week, we’re looking at some practical antenna builds and a handy reference for precise timing. For those operating on 70cm, there are a couple of interesting options: a UHF Double Bazooka Antenna Construction guide details building with RG213, something worth considering for fixed stations needing a clean pattern. Then, for the mobile crowd, especially those on two wheels, a Vertical J-Pole for motorcycle use offers a compact solution for 430-450 MHz. It’s a robust design, which is key when you’re out on the road. Finally, for anyone needing to calibrate their rigs or just curious about propagation, the HF Time Broadcasts and Time Signal Stations List is a solid resource. It’s always good to have those frequencies handy, whether for a quick check or more serious experimentation.
