No worries, figured a little clarity would help squash the misunderstanding.

You know im agreeing with you right?

Projection is a hell of a drug I suppose.

My first thought was if they're asking for this officially, they've piloted some version of it unofficially.

At best the opposite of everything there would be a good start but much of it isn't really reversible. You don't need to worry about specifics if you're trying to break things, but we do when we try to build. I can ruin a snowman just by raising the temperture, but I cannot build a snowman just by lowering it.

Thats my boy Solaire, Praise the sun!

Yeah, we're not too too far removed from the last solar minimum either, so we got a good deal of solar cycle left before the next minimum too. I say this all the time but hams are the coolest sun worshiping group I've ever been a part of.

Its nominally called a 'random wire antenna' but the caveat is that it needs a tuner and if the wire length is too close to a length that makes it naturally resonate without a tuner, the antenna will not work.

Ive heard people say that they can get their random wire antennas fed right into the g90 with little issue, I don't have the tech specs but Id assume its near 9 to 1 if their random wire is working, and that's made me curious to try the unit since I don't have any SDR yet. The unit only pumps out 20w max so thats probably a factor. On my Yaesu ft 891where I can run 100w easy I use an external LC tuner and a counterpoise to mitigate rf buildup on the chassis though.

Im seeing more sstv memes lately and im all for it, about time I say.

Never been a better time to get into HF communications I think. You can get fairly inexpensive (comparatively anyway) Chinese software defined radio by Xiegu, and literally just stick a long wire in the back as an antenna and since the radio has an auto tuner, all you need to do is get that wire as high in the air as possible. I don't have that radio so I use a manual tuner but a setup like that is the only way I can get on the air from my current house.

My claim was my tax dollars dont go to the chinese government, you showed they indeed don't go to the chinese government. Nice try twisting the premises though, but my original comment is right there, you can chek it any time.
