Whats a good set up for someone who is just getting started and getting a tech lic.? I have some radio experience but it is limited. CB and SSB is fun but it does get boring. I've been doing it for years and want to move up. Althought it is fun to have the neighbors television set turn completely black when I key up on SSB, Aparently "Antron" or "Solarcon" 99's are real bad for bleed over. I've heard other people licensed and repairmen say that digtal television is less prone to TVI, Its not. I found out myself the hardway. Somewhere it is analog or the signal just finds its way in. Like the older sets with converter boxes or/and ground breaks in the new sets.

BTW: My Hoffman set is in pieces right now waiting for restoration. Going to college for electronics so that will help with the resto. But not the fact I've moved since then and EXTREAMLY tight on space for it. Still watch my '52 Packard Bell set though. It works great with a new ant. cable and a digital cable box.
