What is the best ham radio setup for me?
I've been out of practice for awhile and was hoping for some advice. I live in a canyon in the desert southwest and have an extra class ham radio license. However, I haven’t been able to figure out the best setup for me in this new location. I haven’t had much help from the local ham club (but I probably wasn’t asking the right people). I sold all my old ham radio equipment many years ago; so, I need to start fresh. Reading my old material on transmissions, I could only come up with needing to install a giant antenna. I have a 2m radio, but I don’t care for local communications (unless there is an emergency). I am interested in medium to long distance communications with voice/ computerized non-voice communication. I can’t install a tower antenna due to local restrictions.
What kind of setup (or is it even possible) can I get in my current location for under around $600?
I don't know if the $600 is for the rig and antenna, but you may go on eBay to find what you want for a reasonable price.
I don't know where you are, so maybe ARRL.org can point you to a local hamfest.
As for the antenna, I wonder how high the hills are relative to you and how far away. Could you tilt the front of a beam antenna up to get a usable angle to work DX. If you can't use a yagi, how about wire beams. Otherwise maybe you are limited to a vertical or dipole. I have the screwdriver antenna on my car.
You have plenty opportunities to experiment, and with the bands as they are, maybe some time as well.
