Interesting Podcast, just discovered it last night. I've been thinking about setting up a 160m station, but haven't because of antenna space. I'm afraid that once I get a transmit antenna up, I'll have to use that for my receive antenna. Perhaps there's some hope with a small loop receiving antenna, I'll have to do some more research.
I just finished listening to this. It was GREAT! http://www.qsotoday.com/podcasts/k4ro Thanks for posting this here. I just kept smiling and laughing all the way through it! K4RO and I have a lot in common, except he has the energy! Browsing through the qsotoday.com RSS feed, I see that there's some others that are likely worth listening to.
