I'm most of the way there in building my SW broadcast station.  I appreciate all the friendly and helpful advice I've received from some of the experts here.  The last part I'm waiting on is a mag mount base for my antenna before I start testing everything out.  I've decided on this setup so I can use it mobile when I'm able but then can also bring it inside when I want to broadcast from home (mounted to a suitable sheet of metal for a proper ground plane of course).  I don't know that I've ever seen anyone post photos of their setup, so I hope this is allowed, but I thought I'd attach a photo of what I've put together so far.  Excited to give everything a try.   :)

ff:
How did you make out with the 735's "diode snip"?  Have fun, and take it one step at a time Jackson... 73!

jackson_r:
As you said, ff, easy!  I didn't try to pull them out, however.  I just clipped one side of each diode and then pushed the two ends slightly apart.  If you think there could be arcing issues, please let me know and I can get back in there and remove more or push them even farther apart.
