Re: If you had...........

Any amount?

I'd buy an island off the equator with a mountain on it, stick an eight element quad up with a top of the range Icom and a 15kw linear?

OK, not that much then emoticon

What about a yacht the size of a cross channel ferry, should get out well from the ocean, any ocean emoticon

Too much, I'm not taking this very seriously emoticon

Best radio for me would be FT2000 probably and any very big antenna emoticon

Re: If you had...........

No radio changes, but a scrap submarine as a boom a battleship gun turret to rotate it and lots of steel scaf poles to weld to the sub.
Yep a bigger antenna!
