Buying My FIRST HF Radio and Making A CHEAP 10 Meter Dipole Antenna!

#hamradio #yaesuft891 #dipoleantenna

I finally bought the Yaesu FT-891 HF radio and jumped into the exciting world of HF, antenna building and FT8 and other HF digital modes this week!

In this episode of Vlog Friday, I take you along for the ride while buying my first HF radio, building my first homebrew 10m dipole antenna and making my first DX contact on 10m FT8 via WSJT-X.

The 10m dipole antenna that I built in this video and used for my first HF/first 10m FT8 contact is based off of a video I recently watched by Mike - @hamradiotube. Here is the link to his video: https://youtu.be/jHyEMdHVMWc?si=12Z-fag4SqEI_QKc
