Any HF for the BBC or Radio-France ?
Your comment is a good one. Indeed, in long journeys we need to watch a multitude of sources. I would like to have a capable HF rig similar the one i have in my D18 Winnebago. (200 W class XMTR, trailing wire antenna similar to E6B Tacamo a/c
, etc.)
Unfortunately we will depend on Sat phone instead of the more convenient HF. (that would be nice for base QSO)
Questions:
1) A hand held one like Iridium 9555 works adequately in a PA46 cockpit? Or it is mandatory an external antenna?
2)
What about VHF coverage in Russia (at FL 170) in route from EDDB to UUMO, USSS, UNNT, UIBB, UEEE, UHMM and UHMA?
3) Why not an HF RCVR only? (no EMI/EMC issues, light, etc.) Antenna could be...(will think about)
Will put your email in mission team list right now.
