Today on the Bands — Tuesday, August 11, 2026

Tuesday brings a satisfying spread of bench and field: a slick remote antenna switch and a hand-built loop for the tinkerers, a truck install for the mobile crowd, and word from the DRC that the pileups are coming. We've also got ARRL's yearly accounting and a reminder that ARES still shows up when the sky turns violent over Wisconsin.
