That sounds like a sweet setup!
Do people still host shows that are only on shortwave radio?
I was sort of forced into it, I live in a neighborhood with a HOA, I didn’t want to fight them, so whenever I want to operate, I setup in driveway and get on the air.
Depending on the conditions I can get Europe on occasion, but routinely get up and down the eastern seaboard and into the Caribbean, I live in NE Florida, so I’m good with that, especially without a more elaborate antenna.
