A gift from my Elmer

radioAfter passing my Technician license exam, my Elmer presented me with a congratulatory gift – a radio!

Thank you WE6Z!

The radio is a dual band Baofeng UV-5R, covering 136.00-174.00 MHz and 400.00-480.00 MHz. In addition to the radio, my Elmer substituted a 17 inch antenna rather than the standard stock “rubber duck”.
