ITU News caught up with Otava Tuomi to learn what ham radio means to him as a young amateur radio operator, and its role - and revival - amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Antennas/Antenna Calculators
The Magloop Antenna Calculator was developed to predict the characteritics of a small-loop (aka magloop) antenna, given physical dimensions entered via slider widgets. This magnetic loop antenna calculator works also on most mobile devices, adjusting sliders and calculating dimensions in real time.
