Yep, most excellent attribute. Our club does annual field trips just for that purpose. To be honest I was shocked what a long wire could do with the right equipment. I'll the first to admit I'm just getting my legs. That said, radio is a fantastic tool for my needs. I've never done it as a hobby and always have had it as a community help tool or basic communication tool. I lived off the grid up in Montana for a decade and found radio a great way to keep sane. I had an old Kenwood TS-140s back then and spent a lot of time listening. I didn't have a license so never TX but I would have if I had to. I'm not an anarchist and totally respect the rules but life and limb take precedent over the rules in my world. I'm not even tempted to do anything but get stick to the plan. Maybe its my old Vietnam days but every option should be available. My mind set is such that I'm putting guy wires up on my free standing antenna. It can't hurt can it? Thanks for making contact Bill.
