Back in October I paid $235.00 for a 5 watt transmitter so I could experiment. After Me and My dad got a 20′ pole set up w/ my $40.00 antenna mounted at the very top and some cheap 51 ohm RG8 coax (same as 50 ohm,just cheaper) I began to experiment. So far My range has been fair. I have between 3/4 mile and 2 miles of clear signal, and close to 7 miles distant signal. Soon I will improve my range even more. I will soon have a 50′ pole guy-wired to the side of my house. I will also be using the ”good stuff”. My RG8 coax will be replaced with 50 ohm RG213. Then I will use my leftover RG213 for My SSTRAN AM tx. Once I Conduct my next experiment I will post my results.

*Note* I know this tx is far beyond part 15 regs and I have given this much time,thought, and consideration.
