The Icom 718 is model IC-718. Antennas! Ha! There are book written about them. I have a 6btv antenna at my house for the Icom, i also have a...
I think you will wind up seeing a lot of stations come back eventually. Shortwave is still real active in central and south america
If you are at sea I would get an ICOM 718. You can listen to all of the shortwave bands on it, and it does transmit. Now to transmit, you do need...
I play with ham radios and shortwave. It is a fun hobby. I am by no means an expert. Most of the cheaper shortwave radios won't pickup overseas...

Thanks for reply! I wasn't sure about prop performance, thats why I posted it. I will have to do some welding to make this an inboard. I have no...
