This is how to talk to the South Pole on 100 watts.
The tower is a Rohn 55 crank-up tilt over. So the other picture shows 6 licensed hams, that's me on the ladder, standing inside the quad the day we put it up. Counting the mast, the boom for the antenna is up about 70 feet. The young people in the pic are my daughter and son, both licensed!
I do not own an amp.
