I have managed to get a 70cm all mode radio on eBay. (Icom IC-471A) It
does just 25 watts.
I don't have a lot of space for an antenna and no space for a stacked
set. I was thinking of the Directive Systems DSFO432-15RS which is a
rover friendly antenna of around 8' in length. It will be about 30'.
I am in north central Indiana (Kokomo) so I would likely need to reach
some major cities like Cincinnati, Columbus, & Toledo OH and Detroit and
Grand Rapids, MI and Chicago, IL and Louisville, KY for some contacts.
Am I going to need an amplifier to get the job done?
What might be better possibilities?
