This thread is to look at viable NVIS equipment that is available on the market today.
First off a simple but ultra sensitive receiver ( no license nor registration required) that will allow monitoring of SSB voice transmission and CW Morse transmission on the 80m or 40m bands. Particularly on 80m at night this receiver will allow monitoring for signals from ham stations around the British Isles and world wide. If stations beyond 25 miles and within 300 miles from you are detectable, they are reaching you via NVIS routes.

Its a small kit that is simple to construct, and having constructed it you'll also know how to repair it if the future need arises.
Cost £ 25 plus shipping
