Technical Program - The NanoVNA

Our presentation will feature an introduction to and demonstration of the NanoVNA, a new $50 shirt-pocket size device with touchscreen that displays SWR curves of antennas from 50 kHz through 900 MHz and so much more!  This very affordable game-changing device represents a new generation of antenna analyzers for the radio amateur!

Phil Sittner, KD6RM, has a ham radio story that goes back over 50 years, from childhood. Still living in Northern California, Phil builds his own radios and test equipment, operates CW on 80 and 40 meters, using his fence mounted 80 meter end-fed Zepp and a pair of phased 40 meter verticals in an HOA neighborhood where antennas are forbidden. We harness Phil’s extensive technical expertise and hear his ham radio story in this QSO Today.
