Choosing the best HF Ham Radio for off grid survival communications. In this video we go through 5 of the best low-power and QRP portable ham radios for off grid or grid down preparedness communications.
Hello Operators.
After the devastating earthquake and grid failure in Turkey and Syria, a Turkish operator reached out on Twitter, asking about the best HF radio for grid down or off grid survival. I do my best to highlight the pros and cons of my top HF radio picks, seen on the channel.
