    I'm just not quite to the point of buying a new radio but I certainly am watching what all you rich guys' experience is with these new rigs is like, so when time is right, I have some unbiased feedback.

    Congratulations Cor, I hope it kicks radio ass for you.

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    Yes, Congratulations Cor!

    Now as for that rich guys comment ...

    Let it be known that, I use homebrewed wire antennas, exclusively. However, if I did have a big tower, I'd probably hang wires off of it. I'd also pressure myself to decide on a manufactured antenna for a single band to place top dead center of the tower. I'd want something small so, 6m?

    Cor, what is on your antenna farm currently?

    Hermes Lite 2.

    And one of my known associates reported that he modded an ALS-1306 with new output devices which enable a clean 1800w PEP out; this with a padding network in place. If removing the pad allows a Hermes 5-7w drive to make legal limit, I may have found my next project.
