Is 80m mobile really even worth the effort?
I mean I am only going to be running 100 watts, so even if everything is perfect and I mean perfect, what am I looking at 5 watts out (on a 100 watt rig) ???
and since my hand made bug catcher is not going to be ANYWHERE near perfect with an crappy salvaged wire coil then I might be looking at closer to 1% efficiency maybe 3% efficiency if the gods of RF smile down on me
so is it really worth it?
