About this episode
In this episode, I share my journey of building a dual-band ham radio antenna using a Nitinol rod — covering both 2 meters and 70 centimeters. I dive into why DIY in ham radio is such a powerful part of the hobby, from experimenting and learning to building gear that truly fits your needs. Ham radio isn’t just about talking — it’s about creating, tinkering, and exploring. I want to inspire more people to get hands-on with their radios and discover the fun of building your own antennas and equipment.
