And consider this: The Ancient Ones were working the Antipodes on HF 75+
years ago with simple regenerative receivers, wire antennas and oscilator
transmitters putting out a few watts of RF power. All of the improvements
in
our methods, rigs and antenna systems since then have been the direct
results of radio competition of various kinds.
But it does put into perspective the need for high power and high
specs, doesn't it. :)
Perhaps, but the Ancient Ones (hmmpf - Elders please) did not have to
contend with the amount of interference that we have today, even in 1946 the
HF bands were still quite "quiet" by comparison.
