Getting started in ham radio is exciting, but it can also be confusing. In this video from Ham Radio Divas, one of the Divas sits down with our ham radio Elmer to talk about three common beginner mistakes — and how new hams can avoid them.

We cover:

Buying a radio before understanding your goals
Underestimating the importance of the antenna
Not learning basic operating habits and radio etiquette

Ham radio does not have to be intimidating. With the right approach, the right setup, and a willingness to learn, you can get on the air with more confidence.
