Taking a portable station outside, whether on a camping trip, to a park for the day, or hiking up a summit, is great way to enjoy amateur radio. Portable operators use HF and VHF bands, as well as SSB, FM, CW, and digital modes. There’s something for everyone, no matter license class, experience, or interests. Portable Operating for Amateur Radio will help you get the most out of this fun and exciting way to operate.
