Isn't one of the primary points of Amateur Radio to provide communication
sevices when none exist?
Seems like they have a need, and good reason, and are going about it the

I mentored a two couples back in the mid-70s who were wanting their
ham tickets for retirement. Both couples had purchased sailboats
and planned to spend their retirement sailing from one port to
another. They explained the main reason for the ticket was for
emergencies and to get weather inf

This may be an unwarranted alarm but if it were me, I would increase the value
of the RFC in the bias line from 100uh to maybe 1mh. Your resonate frequency
with the .02 bypass capacitor is quite low but I suspect a substantial amount
of RF current will still be passing through a 100 uh coil and
Here's my schematic so far for the 160m amp:

steel chassis that has been used by others for at least four other
projects and is literally swiss-cheesed with useful holes. (more holes

The lead article on the ARRL website today is one about a group of hikers
encouraged to get ham tickets so that they can run their own communications.
