So, I would do better to get my wire over 80 or so feet and keep it straighter with less bends or turns?

Hi,
We have a new one! My wife passed her Tech a couple weeks ago and so the newest call around here is KM4RMW!

I really appreciate the advice!
I found my YB-400 but I don't think it's up to the job. I know much of the problem is my location (a small, brick rowhouse built around 1880 and set on a side street, south of some really tall glass-and-steel skyscrapers) but I also get the sense that the radio could be better. I think I might be able to attach an antenna to my chimney, if anyone thinks this may help. It will at least get it above the neighboring houses...
I'll also consider a new receiver - preferably a table top model - if anyone has a brand/model to recommend.
Thanks!
I had the predecessor, the Satellit 700 ... it was a terrific radio in terms of audio quality, sensitivity and selectivity.What about the Grundig Satellit 750? A little pricey, but seems to be a decent radio, so I was thinking about seeking one out. Has all the different bands, aircraft, ssb etc..
Been learning a bit watching 'Tom's Radio Show' on youtube. Neat little channel for what it is.
call sign change for me. NK8M here now, and I'm not very active at the moment due to the fact that I've gone back to driving a truck over the road, but will be again once I can get a suitable antenna for the truck. Also, thanks to thevez for pointing me back in this direction. I had forgotten about this thread in the forum.Kd8bto
I'm also big on CW ... usually that's my primary mode of Xmit, but I like to listen to everything.Love CW. It was the first mode of radio and will be the last when the day comes.

Recommend the SKCC to anyone who wants to learn code. Its slow and done the way it was in the beginning. No electronic keys allowed.
