I have explored this one a few times over the last few months (it may or may not work HF, I haven't got that far yet).

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

Those internet receivers seem to work pretty well.  Takes a minute to get a hang of it.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.

I'm going to add a 40M/80M antenna outside this year.  I've run a 20M/15M for the last couple of years outside (I break covenants on antennas for the weekend...my others are inside the attic).  Both are fed with ladder line I run in to the house and then go with a 1:1 balun to bring in coax to the switch on the antenna tuner.  If I have time a nested Moxon 10M, 15M and 20M or maybe just a 3 element Moxon...if I can get another fishing pole and build a hub.

And for those that are looking for discount radios, you can find new and used here at good prices.

As I follow this I remember my youth and all the hobbyists in our neighborhood.  I had lost the bug, but now you guys are making me think of another hole to hide my money in.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

OK.  Last week I added 2 for a total of 87 currently set up.  I suspect we'll but 100 in the next couple of weeks.   May be another update tonight.

Got the cheapie MFJ 20M di-pole.  Got to tune it, rent the lift, mount it on top the tower and run the wires.  Maybe just, maybe I can get that done by the MS weekend.

Need a list of DRTV calls.
