2 Radio Equipment

2.1 Short Wave

There's some wisdom saying that you need a good receiver first of all. The next thing you should think about is a good antenna. I have been experimenting with several antenna types, mainly with the simpler versions of Inverted Vee and Quad Loop, but I have come to the insight that a good multiband vertical is a decent compromise between space consumption and multiband usability. That's why I have purchased a GAP TITAN. The next thing to consider is a sufficiently good transmitter. I solved the transmitter / receover question first by buying a sturdy Kenwood TS-520S valve TRX. A very good decision, I must say now 15 years later. Around 2001 I bought a second hand TS-930SAT, and this is now my core device. Maybe some time in the future I will also think about a Kenwood TL-922, but if, yes if I should have enough spare time, I might also decide to build a transistor PA on my own. Let's see.

Here's an overview of my nice little shortwave toys:
