Thank you all for the replies and opinions. I put my antenna up a week ago last Saturday and am very pleased with the results. I really don't understand the replies that urged me not to apply a coating for preventitive maintenence. I mean, that's what preventitive maintenence means. Anyway, I...

Cool! I know without a doubt that radio will be a growing hobby for me from now on that rates all the way up the ladder to the level fishing now enjoys. I never dreamed I would have another hobby that could even compare to fishing.

Yeah, Robb This guy that I contacted said he just put his old cb back in his car after being off cb for 23 years. I thought that was a good omen for both of us. Not as magical as your first contact but memorable none the less.

Thank you mackmobile43!

I feel very lucky to have found this radio. I bought it on ebay and it's brand spankin' new. It's still on there I believe. The item# is 190565363959. I'm so glad I chose this antenna also because of all the good things I've read about it. I still don't know very much about radio but I wouldn't...

Thanks Guys, I hear people talking with each other and I think they must be using very powerful radios. I heard a couple guys talking and they mentioned Mississippi. They sounded southern but I couldn't make contact with and didn't really expect to. Anyway, I'm just happy being able to talk...

I am in the northeastern lower peninsula of Michigan almost on Lake Huron. I don't know if you are saying I should put up a different antenna or just add a modification to mine.

It was a local contact. When he answered me he said he was about nine or ten miles south of me and I talked to him until he got to his destination which was a few miles from where I am.

I finally got everything set-up on my first cb radio and made my first contact. Yesterday, after installing the antenna and hooking everything up, I made contact with "Capt. Walker" and chatted with him for about five minutes. I was hearing him very well and he said I was blowing him out of his...

Thanks psycho!

I just got my new Imax 2000 from Sparkys but I am hesitant to put it up before I get some questions answered. I have been trying to contact Sparkys, by phone and email with the "contact us" feature on the site, since the day before I ordered it but they are not answering the phone and are not...

Thanks Doc, I'm new to CB and can use all the info I can get. I'm fairly confident in my meter because I bought it from a friend and he will make it right if there is a problem with it. I have enjoyed reading your posts throughout the forum. Al

Well, that would be important would'nt it.

Thanks Superidgit.

Yes Superidgit, I did read that before I posted and realized it didn't apply to me so I thought I would be more specific and post a question. Thank you. Oh', the meter is an Astatic 600 made by Para Dynamics and is a SWR/RF Power Watts/Modulation with three seperate meters.

I haven't got my antenna yet but it was shipped yesterday. I also haven't got my coax yet but it is being shipped today (I think). I ordered 50ft of coax to go from the antenna to the meter and I also ordered a 5ft jumper for between the meter and my radio. My question is: Does it matter if the...
