Have an idea what sort of gear you want to start with? What capabilities you want to have?
How much real estate available for antennas?

[mylife]

I am limited on real estate. I am on a city lot in a small town. My elevation is low so a decent tower is in order.
Luckily restrictions arent bad at the moment so I need to act fast. (I only have one neighbor) on the south

As far as rigs go, as you said.. the sky is the limit on dreaming.

My major limitations are elevation (455 feet)
Lot size 80x100? feet but I have 30 foot of easement to work with N/S and a field behind me E/W

I am only a SWL My current set up is a ten tec RX350d and a Par End Fedz EF-40 antenna oriented as a sloper facing NE up in a tree about 30 foot up

The little Par end fedz antenna I have will handle 200 watts.

That will get me started I suspose.

I am not ready for 1500 watts and uber towers.....yet..

Did I say RX 350D? I meant RX320D using Clifton Turners software KF50J
