New HAM RADIO MEDIA

Q5 HAM RADIO

We’re building a modern, multi-channel media platform for amateur radio—because how people engage with content has changed. Some read. Some listen. Some scroll. We meet operators where they are, delivering thoughtful stories, sharp interviews, and curated insights across Substack, YouTube, podcast platforms, and more.We take the craft seriously: strong writing, compelling photography, and real editing—not just content for content’s sake. Our job is to inform, inspire, and elevate the conversation—so hams can focus on what they do best: innovating, operating, and keeping the spirit of amateur radio alive.

ONLINE MAGAZINE

Substack

We're building a new kind of ham radio magazine—online, independent, and made for the way people actually consume content today. Published on Substack, it’s a place for real stories, thoughtful interviews, and smart takes on where the hobby is headed. No filler. No fluff. Just meaningful, modern coverage of amateur radio from people who live it.
