This will serve as a first hand account of the cycle conditions from one cycle to the next for posterity's sake.... :cool:

On Sunday morning I would play something like this:

The new Anytone and variants have spoiled me with the DSP noise reduction. That being said, the President Madison that was done for me by @loosecannon is actually quieter and just as sensitive. It has a counter in place of the clock and Digimax channel selector, I can VFO all over the place. I...

I get all mine from Jefa, all their cables are guaranteed. They do a lot of government contract work, and I got a screaming good deal one time. They sell 500 foot rolls, but there was a flaw in their system because I bought a cable by the foot and put 500 in. I only paid about 2/3 of what it...

Good to know, I have one and the knobs are all sticky.

Just checked in with 605 Texas and the Hog Town Radio Roundup on 36. Haven't heard him since the beginning of summer. Conditions are improving, I heard Germany and Ireland checking in too.

That is correct, the bias is supposed to keep the transistor right below it's turn on threshold so the side band signal will turn it on right away. Without bias on ssb, the turn on time for the positive going signal is too long and will cause the transistor to miss part of it. AM mode has a...

I usually use my bench supply that has an ammeter to set the bias. First I turn all bias adjustments off to zero volts. Then while watching the ammeter, I slowly turn one up while keying the mic in SSB with no audio. I find the point where the current jumps up, this means the transistor is...

It's working my friend, you are wall to wall and tree top tall!!

The new Washington is a great radio with great features. I have the George which is the little brother CB version and it has great audio. I usually have it driving a KL203 on side band and have talked all over when conditions are good. As for the cost, the same features can be had in an...

Yesterday I heard a lot of stations from England/UK, glad the DX is coming back. I heard @Brother DXer on my way home from work, but the Q6Pro could not make the trip. We will keep trying.

I got the radio, charged it up and am checking it out. Review coming soon.

Anytone has a software alignment program that is free to download instead of an engineering menu. They QT80 is the same radio as the 6666pro. https://www.anytone.net/download

My parents got a new furnace one time, and it was put in the attic. The installers ran the Freon lines up the side of the house and put it inside a piece of gutter downspout. The downspout is a normal thing to have on the side of the house and was surely better than the bare lines. A downspout...
