Hi, would a pre amp be beneficial to me if i wanted to attempt international calls ??

thanks, Andy.

Thanks Jon.

You'd need a tuned aerial like an 18 foot dipole or a wire centre fed dipole or maybe a loaded 1/4 mobile antenna on a car but given the right conditions you can in theory get around the world even on 4 watts. Summer months are a good time to check out Sporadic E propogation when signals from all round Europe appear on the EU channels.

Hi Jon, so it doesnt necessarily have to rely on fancy aerials or signal boosting gadgets then ???

Andy.

[rigsearch]

Yes, providing the Ionosphere is in a reflecting mood (i.e the skip is running) there's no reason why the signal wont bounce back to earth between different continents let alone countries. Currently though solar conditions that effect the ionosphere have been rather poor but who knows as cycle 24 kicks in it may improve.

cheers Jon
