I could just hear you making those contacts off in the distance but AMers just hammered my area all day. I threw my call out but the duck couldn't climb out da mud. I'll be listening on 40USB today.

Lots of 16AM on my end today but they take a break now and again. I'll throw my 20 watts out there and see what happens. Good luck today folks.

Standing by...

I understand the rules and wish to enter the contest.

It's totally an intercom style setup. Got it mainly for the sensors that work with it. Obsolete now and I just watch for deals on the components. We do have our GMRS license as well, just experimenting with another band.

Hardwired an old Midland mic to the Dakota Alert MURS base and made a shelf mount. Added an external speaker jack too. Drives the old Motorola speaker great. 10 miles to another base both on home-made quarter wave GPs at 20 feet no problem. Fun and cheap way to get into VHF but also makes me...

60.4895 years old today. I've had AM CBs in all my vehicles for years mainly for 19AM on my long commutes. Got into SSB and GMRS/making antennas about 5 years ago, MURS more recently. Gave all four of our grown (30s) children GMRS HTs for Christmas a couple of years ago. They're programmed to...

Crazy good conditions this morning near St Louis. Worked 473 Honolulu, my first trip to Hawaii! Talked to Pennsylvania and West Virginia too. Good day. Need 6 more states to have all 50 on only a barefoot CB and wire antenna, Roger?

My friend and I have been wanting to get into MURS for a while, pretty much got our GMRS stations dialed in. I'm really intrigued with all the telemetry and remote control possibilities with MURS and it being VHF in general. Anyway, I built a Moxon and he did a 3 element Yagi with a gamma...

My homebrew 12 element GMRS Yagi "Jacob's Ladder" trying to burn through my neighbors Cedar trees...

Wow I noticed your signature and just checked my logbook. We made a good contact 4/2/23.......on 16L! Must have been part of our make 16lsb great again initiative lol. Pretty cool.

Just found this. No wonder I was scratching my head. I thought they had rx and tx swapped at the plug but Turner used red for rx, black for tx way back when. Also, this came with a 4 pin Cobra to 5 pin Realistic adaptor and I was just wanting to make sure everything jives before keying up. Meter...

I inherited a very clean SSK. I've searched and just couldn't find a solid answer. Did Turner use red for TX and black for RX? Bonus if someone can just tell me where shield, white, red, black go on Realistic 5 pin connector (TRC-458). Also, the gain control underneath is turned clockwise almost...

Great conditions into the west coast from Missouri this morning. Making good contacts on the barefoot Navaho/scrap pile Moxon rig.

I will be, just need a ton of help from mother nature. Happy 10/4!
