Nudist Resorts & Hams
I decided to make my own naturist garden resort station. Since I don't have money nor incentive to visit naturist resorts much, (I do when I get a chance) and Ive been working on the garden/orchard project for several years. Been a ham for 42 years, just haven't been radioactive much. I wanted radios real bad when I couldn't afford any, and then when I could have afforded them they'd dropped down my priority list too far. But now that i have most of the critical stuff covered to get going on the agricultural venture. I'm ready to bring the radio gear up the priority list. I've arranged to send off the money for a 25 year old Icom HF transceiver tomorrow. To a ham who's upgraded and selling his old but good working radios. That will be the first acquisition. An IC-728. Something basic and simple, and old enough to not have menus. Next will be a pair of deep cycle cart batteries, already have the solar panels. Then I think I'll go for a new mobile rig, one or two. get me enough mobile capability to do 160-440. then I'll play with antennas. Building them and tuning them. The naturist garden station will be on the mountainside, OK for HF radio but not great. And terrible for VHF/UHF But with some nice mountain tops close by, having the rigs in the 4x4 truck and building some portable antennas to plug into, beams and verticals and whatever, will be a supplement to the lower station when I want to hear and get out better. When i get set up I want to make contact with all the naturist hams I can and naturist resort stations. Of which I only know of one so far. The N5UDE club station in Texas. de N4ISF
