Amplifiers & Antennas

When you take up the Weak Signal sub-hobby you need power and antennas to be heard. I will attempt to list all amplifiers past and present that you might find at a local hamfest or at Hamvention. I am only going to list amplifiers with an input levels of 5-25w and output of 75w or better.

If your browser is Firefox or Chrome please consider installing the “Imagus” addon. This will allow you to hover over pics and then they will blow up in size. This is real handy if you are a little older and our eyes are not what they used to be.

On Android or IPhone, hold your finger over a picture for 1 sec until you feel a vibration and then the pic will increase in size.
