Hey everyone! I'm curious about how you're keeping track of your QSOs.

There are so many options out there… from classic paper logs to modern apps and cloud-based tools. Some hams love N3FJP, Log4OM, HAMRS, or Ham Radio Deluxe. Others stick with QRZ, CloudLog, or even roll their own spreadsheets or Raspberry Pi setups.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on some logo designs for HamLike.com and ended up with 5 different versions. I’m not totally sold on any one of them yet, so I figured I’d ask for your input.

I'm reaching out to see if anyone in the community might be able to help me out. After installing a solar system at my house, I started experiencing major RFI issues across the HF bands. It's bad enough that I can barely operate on any HF frequencies anymore.

I've already tried installing ferrite beads on various cables and lines connected to the system, but unfortunately, it hasn't made much of a difference. The interference is still there, and it's really frustrating not being able to enjoy the bands like I used to.

If anyone has

Did a quick test of the GRA-7350T on 20 meters. Setup was straightforward, and an antenna analyzer was definitely useful for quicker tuning. So far, getting good performance. Curious if anyone else is running this and what bands you've tried.
