    Not strictly true. Techs have limited HF privileges: phone
    and data on a portion of 10m and CW on 15, 40 and 80. Of
    course, one needs _a_ license to transmit legally in the US.

    You're correct. I just didn't think about that. I just meant that if you
    do not have a license.

    I'm marking 2025 my 28th year of being licensed. I think I enjoy the hobby even more now than I did when I was first licensed.

    I also obtained a GMRS license recently. My callsign is WSBW961.

    There's a lot of folks around the BBS community that would be willing to help, unfortunately, I am not one of them.

    Laddie, don't you think you should rephrase that? ;)

    reports). Anyways, I was wonderding where you could buy a HF radio real chea and it be still working?

    There are some new/modern SDR-based HF radios online, too. Just depends
    on how much money you can spend.

    I wouldn't mind digging into SDR... I have an Intel MacMini just begging
    to be used for something like this. :-)

    Right now I'm working on a 25' tower for UHF/VHF.
