ok so wired turn of events, but it looks like I have some cash coming my way... I have a few bills to pay off and other things and a house to pay off... but I need to figure out what equipment I will be buying...
The thing is I ran the numbers and after paying everything off, house included I will still have a crap ton of cash left over... so... yeah.
So here are the rules, can be new or used gear (if used estimate on the high-average end)
I will give a budget as to what I can afford to spend, then what I would like to do with that budget
$2,000 budget
- HF/6/2/440 rig, or rigs - used in the shack
- tuner for HF bands - MANUAL, used in the shack
- maybe a nice 10, 6, or 2m rig for the mobile
- maybe a cheap rotor ?
$5000 budget
- same as above
- amp for the HF bands
-feed line upgrades, running mainly RG8x now
- some all mod, all band rig for the mobile
$7500 budget
-same as above
- not sure what else I might need... I would say at this price I would want separate rigs for whatever I am working
- autotuner for the mobile
- bunch of hamstick like antennas? for the mobile
$10,000 budget
- get creative... I have no 'eff'ing clue what goes on at this point
