    11 meter is very quiet?

    I'm not sure right off, but your call does sound familiar. It's been so crazy in there lately that my pen can keep up the ink flow from me "chicken scratching" numbers down!

    It was definitely a pleasure running into another WWDX member on the air BC Coyote! You were slamming into Tallahassee Florida!

    HAM/CB operators ... how old are you?

    I can fully agree! If it's not the latest version of a smartphone, (which yes I do use and appreciate) they don't want anything to do with a hobby like this. I'm 43 here, and I've had the interest in this stuiff since I before I was legal to drive, and I will never give up the desire for this...

    Replacing RM Italy KL-203P blown transistors with IRF 520's?

    Redbeard190, I can say the same results came out with me on this one. With 20 watts SSB swing in, I get around 100-120 watts out, which is satisfactory to me considering...but yes the SWR is horrible while on...1.6-1.8'ish.

    Replacing RM Italy KL-203P blown transistors with IRF 520's?

    I was kind of thinking the same since I have them already. 50/50 considering that I guess.

    Replacing RM Italy KL-203P blown transistors with IRF 520's?

    Just wondering roughly what kind of output I should expect out of these in this amp? I'm not worried about a small power decrease if that's what I end up with. It's just a "helper" in my side by side anyways. I know, most will say I'm wasting my time on a pc of junk. It was free and I have a...

    Old School vs New School CBs: Which do you like ??

    I love my mix of the modern transceiver but also those warm "antique" bulbs below...;)

    Maco V5/8 (or any other vertical) above a 4 element yagi

    So any opinions or comments on this type of setup? Mine is this way (pic below), of course with the radials off of the Maco, and I do get good results, but however, to me in theory, it seems as if one would be somewhat sharing/stealing the power of the other one in TX, and possibly even in RX...
