Through a partnership with QRZ.com, this program is designed to lower the barrier to entry into amateur radio by providing new hams with a high quality radio at an incredible discount! Effective February 28, 2025, new hams will be entitled to a 70% discount on the Explorer QRZ-1 VHF/UHF handheld transceiver and any of the accessories listed below. 

This program is available exclusively to USA licensed amateur radio operators who obtained their first license from the FCC within the last 6 months. The Jumpstart program may be changed or terminated without notice based on availability and corporate sponsors.
