A good friend who owns a surplus electronics parts place here got bunch of 2SC2879 Transistors marked TOSHIBA, and asked me to verify that they're the real thing. Said he'd give me a couple for my trouble, so I said Hell Yes. He sent me a pair of them ( non red dot).
I put together a test...

I took time off from my DXing to watch the NFL divisional games. Watching the Ravens trip over their own feet numerous times was pretty enjoyable. Sometimes I think Kansas City is almost as lucky as they are good. Grabbed another Corona, and settled in to watch the 49ers and the Lions. What...
I got all of my "honey-dos" finished yesterday, so I headed down to the shack this morning for some good dxing. Fired up the rig . . . nothing. I could hear a lot of stations, but everyone was in the "mud". Couldn't find a strong signal on any channel. Checked the propagation on my tablet, and...
I monitored the 10 meter DX thoughout the day today. It really shifts as the sun moves from East to West,

My Esposa has really gotten into Cb since I installed a radio and an amp in her 4x4 truck. I put a cobra 138XLR in there for her, but am looking to replace it with something with more freqs and FM. Besides, it's so damn BIG. She isn't into LCD displays and buttons and likes old fashioned rigs...
TELL US ALL ABOUT YOUR SETUP !!
What are you guys running ?? Here's mine
Cobra 139XLR (1978.) stock mike

I have a couple of the PC boards for Lou Franklin's speech Processor (clipper). I have assembled one, and thinking about installing it in my Superstar 360FM. Has anyone had any experience with this board ?? It seems to be a copy (almost) of the clipper used in the 858SSb chassis.

Tell us your story on how you got addicted to CB radio.
Here's mine:
My Dad wasn't a highly educated man, but he was brilliant. He was always wanting to learn about new things. In the 50s, he bought an ALLIED reel-to-reel tape recorder just to see what it was all about. He built and flew...
A few years ago, I bought several freq counters from this guy (I can't remember his name) on Ebay. Called himself fasttrack*09. Good products, high quality, great guy to work with. His site is still on Ebay, but no sales or products listed. Looks like he's out of biz. Anybody know what...
One of the 1st pieces of equipment I bought when I got into CBing in the late 60s was my trusty Drake W-4 wattmeter. Over 60 years old and still works and looks like new. Only downside . . . AVG reading only, no PEP.
I ran across a site online from K4DPK offering a PEP conversion kit for the...
I have a tube amp that I am refurbing. This box was in a shed for many years, and there was corrosion everywhere. Not rust, just the white corrosion that metal parts get when they sit for a while. I disassembled it completely, and was able to clean everything except the chassis (some rust) and...
I have only been on the air for a month, but I have learned a lot. Now-a-days so many operators have no courtesy. If I am in a QSO, inconsiderate operators will key up and interrupt without any consideration. This has happened to me numerous times. Whenever I get off the key, they immediatly...
I've been back on the air since July 1st. Everyone has given me good reports on my signal, but I would like to hear what I sound like on the other end. 808 gated me when I first got back on, but I've upgraded my rig, and I'd want to hear what I sound like now. Anybody setup to do gates ?? If...
Now that I FINALLY got off my ass and put a station on the air, I want to hookup with as many forum members as possible. I was hoping our admins could arrange a DX-DAY for our members. Pick a generally unused freq, day and time, and go for it. Maybe set up an alternative freq to QSY to if the...
