Chris, do you use a pulley in the trees, or just pull up (and down) on a plain rope?

I always thought these were one of the coolest looking old radios ever. What a great rig. 100 lbs... no problem, that's what a proper shortwave should weigh :-)
This looks like some art deco office building.

I'll be watching your progress. A software "kit" is a good way to look at it.
Please keep posting what you find, it's much appreciated.

That makes sense. They both seem to be about the same signal strength each time I've checked via KFS.
I can't quite put my finger on it but it's an oddly cadenced "L".

I copy it as "L" but it could be either!
Regardless, good copy tucked in there right above DW

Reviews are starting to appear and they're not good.

Noisy Chineseium power supplies hooked to broadband amp with no output filtering and insufficient thermal dissipation for continuous use.
What could go wrong?

Just ordered one of these , given the good reviews it's been getting. I got the one with the internal speaker(ette) though this may or may not turn out to be the choice I end up with
Pretty impressive little box, looks like:

A noisy KFS sdr has Windy with a battery voltage of 12.0.
