Good comments here so far. If you get an HF transceiver, build an NVIS Antenna. Easy to do out of PVC pipe and any kind of wire. Gives you a capability on 40 and 80 meters out to about 500 miles if set up properly. Lots of info on the NVIS antenna -- used by military all over the world and proven "technology". One of the guys from our VFW club has one on his farm and uses it every day for his ham stuff.
Do you ham on 40 or 80? I scan the bands for a couple of hours a few times a month, but don't transmit.
I'm not a Ham but several of the guys and gals in our VFW are. We all live in "farm country" so they have some pretty weird and big antenna systems. I have plenty of prepper type radios an we all have a plan if or when the SHTF. Pleanty of ammo too. Evidently there is a prepper radio net on 11 meters, the CB band, using single sideband and a data mode called "ROS" and "JT". That's about all I know other than keep your powder dry and so forth, Patriot.
got it. i'm still considering a full transmitter setup for HF. would be fun to chat based topics on 80 or 40.
Nice. Thanks.
