    My latest project.

    Yes, it's single wall . And thanks for the heads up. I was thinking about using screws on the stove pipe just because it's a pretty good run up to the ceiling in my shop and I thought it may make me feel better about the stability of it. But now I'll definitely use some screws in the stove pipe...

    My latest project.

    I've had a wood stove that belonged to my dad for about 5 years. I finally decided to hook it up and get some heat going in the shop. Turns out to be more work than I planned and a lot more money. My chimney ended up being 7 inches short ( story of my life ) and I wasn't about to pay $150 for...

    Haven't been on the forum in Months!! Was still having problems with the son's drug addiction.

So immediately...

    What year and why did you get into the Radio Hobby?

    1976 my Dad bought a 23ch JC Penny Pinto, back when everyone had at least one CB radio. I played around with it when I was a kid. Then in 1990 I dug that little Pinto out of my dad's closet and stuck it in my little 1989 Ford Ranger. Been playing with radios off and on ever since then. I still...

But if you go home brew the co phased ground plan in my opinion talks and receives circles around my old A99, I don't know about the other antennas mentioned ive never owned one of those. You can get plans from Mower Junkie on U Tube, and go as cheap...
