I am using 50ft of RG-8 6AWL the big stuff...last spring I was going thru a closest and found the box of it that I had purchased back in the 80s and decided to get back into CB radio.
 
I'm rebuilding the base (hour or 2 at a time), but I had LMR400 on my Maco beam and it's going on the omni while LDF4-50A is going on the Cubex. If I had it to do over again, it'd all be ladder line.

The mobile has the cheap stuff that comes on a Wilson hardmount.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
