    Spark gap transmiiter porn

    Neat, but the FCC classifies them as intentional jamming devices!

    Can you ID all the HAM crap in this commercial?

    Hammarlund receiver on the far left... Bottom right looks like a Heathkit DX-20/40 almost. Top right, Gonset Communicator for VHF or UHF

    Ted Nugent, Fake?

    He's fake because he's supporting anti-gun, non-conservative Romney.

    Turn the squelch off for simplex / satellite work. You reaallllyyy need a yagi for satellite work.

    Convert 10m ham for LEGAL CB power level use?

    You gain VHF+UHF, plus a whole lotta HF to play with. Plus, they're proper radios.

    Convert 10m ham for LEGAL CB power level use?

    Bang for the buck, I'd just cash out for an FT857D or FT100D. My unofficial advice, with the amount of exports on the road today, nobody is going to kill you if you key up an 857D on Ch19. Turn the power down, don't be an asshat, and nobody will be able to tell the difference.

    Not to start an arguement just some thin s Ive learned over time.

    I'd rather have a 1/4 wave vertical at 10,000 ft than a 10 element yagi at 10 ft.

    Your antenna needs to be longer.

    new to cb, have a few issues

    Hustler ball on top of some 1/4" plate, mounted off a rollbar or bumper is probably the most ideal mount.

    new to cb, have a few issues

    This. 102" whip can withstand a lot of abuse, since it's one continuous piece of metal with no coils to break or anything. It'll be as strong as your mount is.

    Your HF experiences?

    Fistbump. I do the same thing! The sweet DX stations are usually CW...Antarctica, Siberia, Arctic Islands, etc.

    Your HF experiences?

    There's a lot of good nets out there. There's a maritime mobile net on 40m that may interest you? Sometimes aeronautical mobiles pop in for a bit too.
