Re: [IC-7000] Re: Grounding plus newbie questions.
I wish I had my book about Ham on a budget done, but it is still in the works. You need to get an antenna up, even if not licensed. Get or build an antenna matcher. Plans can be found all over the

I'd ease up on that one a bit. I think with a key connected, he might be able to practice a little code with the sidetone and get a feel for things there too. You never know, he may become a CW op
