Know where you can find an old Viking II, or a Ranger, or some 100watt Transmitter? Something with non-sweep tubes. For that matter, your little transistor rig, with the amp and the higher antenna now would probably be a better choice (In MY opinion) than the NCX-5... but that's just an opinion... Whatever you can find, get on with. Whatever helps you HEAR will make a difference in the ability to QSO with others ;-) (granted, some of the guys down here in South Texas don't seem to have decent enough signals... but I can't explain why I can run 175w, and be 4 to 6 S-Units stronger than someone who's running 350w.) 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
