Finally, I've completed the initial setup and have also taken care of all my work-related tasks. Now that I have some free time, I plan to get back into shortwave listening.
Although I obtained my Class B license in 2023, I have very little practical experience. My only real experience has been during the Chinese Amateur Radio Festival.
Therefore, I would like to ask our teachers for guidance on the equipment that needs to be used when transmitting shortwave signals.
First, let me explain the situation from my side.
Currently, we only have one shortwave radio.I purchased the XieGu G90s in early 2024.There were no antennas, power supplies, or anything else. In fact, the power cord was ripped out during a cleaning of my dorm room last week, and initially, all related shortwave equipment was sold off as part of an asset reorganization in late July 2024 (The main reason was that I needed to prepare for graduate school entrance exams.）
The G90s were chosen primarily because of the very limited budget; they were all accumulated savings from tutoring (You asked me where the other money went, and I told you it was spent on operating costs and buying grain.）
I plan to bring my shortwave radio back home during this winter holiday and place it on the top floor of my hometown. Then, I'll run a cable down to my study. Of course, I also hope to occasionally take it outside for use in the wilderness (for example, when my family goes to visit relatives in the countryside, which often takes more than half a day, using a shortwave radio at that time would be very suitable). Also, my school, future workplace, and hometown are all located in Hunan province, so I havePortabilityWhen considering these aspects, I believe the portability here is convenient for both carrying and assuming scenarios.
The roof of my building isPure concrete surfaceOf course, I also know that it's not possible to achieve great results in such a complex urban electromagnetic environment. However, at least having something to do can prevent me from feeling bored.I can't just spend all day playing *Arknights* inside the house.）
My initial idea is to focus primarily on FT8, and then practice CW; I don't expect to be able to use SSB.(I haven't really seen what the neighborhood is like on my side, but since it's in a city area, I assume it won't be great.)
Therefore, I would like to ask my esteemed teachers for guidance on how to select materials.Because I haven't used amateur radio for a long time, I'm learning as if I were a beginner again.
Thank you very much for your guidance! I welcome further corrections and suggestions.🤝(Giving a fist bump.jpg)
