YOUR FIRST QSO
If you tend to discard instruction manuals along with the
packaging material....please don’t. The 4 steps below
will get you on the air in your first QSO within minutes to
allow you to experience the exhilaration that comes with
opening a brand new transceiver.
After spreading the word to your best buddies that you
are now "handy-active", settle back in your most
comfortable operating chair with this manual and your
favorite drink for an hour or two. The time spent will be
worthwhile.
