Amateur radio stories, practical guides, station experiments, and Brooklyn resources from Eric J. Hébert, WB2EHG.
Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City USA
A Personal Station with a Community Purpose
WB2EHG.radio began as a place to document my return to amateur radio. It has grown into a practical resource for learning, operating, and connecting with the amateur-radio community in Brooklyn and beyond.
Through personal stories, beginner-friendly guides, station experiments, emergency-communications training, and local information about clubs, repeaters, and events, my goal is to help make amateur radio more approachable, useful, and welcoming—while sharing where radio continues to take me.
