We begin this edition of our gift guide with a few pertinent questions as the holiday season approaches:
What do you get the ham in your life who doesn’t need a station upgrade? How about the significant other who’s always chilly but can never find a comfy top to wear? Know someone who could use a well-made T-shirt for warm-weather POTA activations? Or what about that club member who’s always bedeviled by the blinding sun on Field Day?
The answer: Give quality apparel from DX Engineering
DX Engineering carries finely made T-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, fleece jackets, and hats featuring the DX Engineering logo—all gifts that will be met with appreciative smiles from those who understand that even when the propagation is bad, you can still get major props for dressing in style and repping a company that cares as much about amateur radio as you do.
Not sure of your recipient’s clothing size? A DX Engineering Gift Card solves that gift-giving conundrum in a jiffy.
