Just got ahold of an old Radio Shack HTX-10 25 Watt 10 Meter USB/LSB, AM. FM transceiver. I am running it into a full wave dipole mounted high on an inside wall right now. I can hear European stations, but the farthest I have talked with is Montana. Once I get an antenna outside in the Spring, I should do much better.

Took down the J-Pole...Put up a Ground Plane.
Bought the Arrow Dual Band Ground Plane antenna. Built like a tank, this thing should last a very long time.
I live on the third floor and this is about 3 feet above the roofline. Total height about 45 feet.
