Diana Eng, KC2UHB, a star of the hit Bravo reality series Project Runway, has the lead role in her own You Tube video: How To: Set Up An HF portable radio while hiking. The world-renowned fashion designer and author of Fashion Geek: Clothes Accessories Tech, enjoys trail-friendly radio as a way to get out of the concrete canyons of New York City and onto the hiking trails of New Jersey, Connecticut and beyond.
