[Elecraft] NVIS HF vs VHF line-of-sight & CB

[KG7FYI]

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.
