I think I agree, here in a very built up area, I have an S9 noise floor that I can do little about except move. And moving isn't an option right now (maybe in 10 years when I retire, Hi). Unfortunately, putting something bigger up in the way of an antenna is probably not an option either (I have a high long wire, 6m halo, 2m halo & 6m/2m/70cm vertical).
Running much more that 100W would probably be a problem for my neighbours too (with who I have good relations at present). So a good Rx is my best option - I've got one on order, it's called a K3 :-) On 11/5/07 09:05, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: > > Money spent on an improved antenna system > would far outweigh money spent on extra power, > especially at the 3dB increase level. -- Hofstadter's Law: The time and effort required to complete a project are always more than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
