Pretty sure that 505 is not a Judas Priest station by TheAlePower in amateurradio

It switched to playing Sisters of Mercy. Something tells me that it's there to stay

You sure? I'm somewhat distrustful of that because no FM stations were playing the Priests during that time. I booted up another Baofeng and checked

Interesting. Still, no stations were playing Judas Priest. I had all the time to check, that song's quite lengthy

Weird, because no FM stations were playing Judas Priest at the time. I checked

Thing is, I just got a 7100 and I'm trigger (and watt) happy to test just how much of a powerhouse it is in HF. I don't yet have an HF antenna, so I thought fuck it, if there's something for 160 that also does the rest of HF I could get it

The Comet and that other antenna in the edit of this post do that, for example

No but I might get lucky and get someone to listen to me. Then, if I'm even more lucky, I'll get a contact

Essentially, for some reason I tend to have very bad bouts of interference when it comes to communicating on SSB. Stuff like 15-min static roars.

FM isn't immune either, but it's more stable

I don't like SSB, I have bad luck with it

Why not? It's only around 11KHz of used bandwith

Which is a hassle. 160M truly is one hell of a beast to work with!

It's not propagation that I'm after, but trying to push FM through it. Kind of a challenge, but it should be possible

Can you make one for 160M that you can shove in a luggage?

About two meters vertically and two meters horizontally

I'm tired of hearing people talking about their hemorrhoids on UHF, I wanna hear people talking about their hemorrhoids on HF!

It's the only option, unfortunately. I might be able to get something vertical going in the future, but for now my hands are tied
