Above is my first HF radio. It's a very nice Kenwood TS-450 SAT I picked up from a fellow in the local club. I don't have a good antenna for it yet but I connected it up to a 102" stainless whip clamped to my jeeps safari rack the other night just to see what I could hear and low and behold. I hear a Brazilian station calling CQ. I could also hear stations from Japan, New Zealand and Russia answer the CQ, so even with a very poor antenna she has good ears. I didn't bother trying to reply as I figure the antenna was so bad and also I am still learning as I go with the new radio but it was fun to hear such distant stations.
I made this up for a thread on an online form where I thought it would help people 'see' rolls different services can play.
