    Pros and Cons needed

    The small town of Shady Point Ok, has a place that builds trailers any way you want. They have a good reputation around my area, but they were so busy the earliest they could start mine 13 weeks out.

    Pros and Cons needed

    Well, had a trailer show up today (dovetail) I can see where it would be easy to drag that backend, thank I'll avoid those. Low mount brake lights, don't like em either, drug one off for the most part on a trailer I borrowed, then had replace it on my dime. That's only right since the trailer...

    Pros and Cons needed

    I've heard that from two others around home, I'll probably stay way from the dove tail and just go with a standard trailer.

    Base would you use this push up pole???

    My friends dad lived in an upscale neighborhood in Fort Smith, He was a Ham operator and had to deal with an HOA. I didn't see the finished product but my friend told me his dad got permission from his HOA to put up a flag pole in his yard and mounted his antenna stealth like on the flagpole...

    Pros and Cons needed

    Im going to buy a trailer, because i'm tired of having to borrow one when I need it. But Im not sure if I want one with the dove tail or not. It will be used mostly for hauling loads to big for the bed of my pickup, and occasionally my tractor. I'm thinking the dove tail with heavy duty ramps...

    UFO'S, Abductions?

    I believe in UFO'S and paranormal activity, when i was a teenager I saw a orange glowing object, it looked to be the size of a beach ball from my vantage point and moving at a very very slow rate of speed across the night sky. My mom told me it was probably a jet, but we lived near the airport...

    Base would you use this push up pole???

    I'm not going to tell you that you should or shouldn't use it, but I will say that I've used a push up pole from a home improvement store, made for TV antennas. it had rings for guy wire that I took full advantage of and handled my A 99 without problems. I have even had my V quad beam on it...

    leaning toward the SPT 500

    I had an Antron 99 back in early 90s been thinking of ordering the SPT 500, I've seen some video and pictures they seem to hold up in windy conditions that's a plus even though I'm on the Eastern side of Oklahoma we still get our fair share of wind. And the reviews I've seen are favorable, and...

    Current costs for CB radio work (NO shop names please!)

    There aren't many CB shops around me anymore, 10 to 15 years ago there were 4 maybe 5 so as far as prices go I'm not much help. The one and only that I've found is 45 miles away from me, and he doesn't recap radios, and I haven't had him work any equipment so I don't know what he charges. As far...

    MY LOOSECANNON MADISON HAS ARRIVED!

    I'm sure it does Slowmover, you're only home a couple days a month. what do you do when you order equipment Slow? Have it sent to a Luvs or Pilot somewhere along the interstate.

    MY LOOSECANNON MADISON HAS ARRIVED!

    I don't know, Loosecannon would have to explain the details, the only reason I knew it was an 8 amp supply is he told me, I basically just told him to do whatever he thought was best and when it came time to pay, I would pay. Sorry I can't give anymore details but 99% of what he did is way above...

    MY LOOSECANNON MADISON HAS ARRIVED!

    It's on the underside, it's an 8 amp supply, the radio only draws about 3 so it just lopes along.

    Safest way to Buy, Sell, or Trade?

    Rwb you reminded me of a problem I was having with a Nissan dealer. My daughter's Nissan was making a very slight ticking noise, so slight that you could barely hear it but Nissan kept saying they couldn't find anything wrong ( car was still under warranty) so I took it to my buddy he was a...

    MY LOOSECANNON MADISON HAS ARRIVED!

    Thank ya, I'm proud of it, it really turned out to be more than I expected the only problem now is I haven't scored any coaxial for the antenna the only one near me, (45 miles) can't get it until Monday and I have to leave out for work Monday so I've got a new toy and can't play with it. :(

    MY LOOSECANNON MADISON HAS ARRIVED!

    First thing's first. Thank you again Loosecannon for your hard work and amazing job you did on my radio. Now some before and after pictures. Before Notice the black electrical tape everywhere, it's even being used to hold the lights for the meter's. Like Loosecannon said this thing had been...

    PayPal makes me want to pull my hair out!

    Yeah I could see where that could be a problem, but I got no concern about Loosecannon, he's been straight forward about everything since the first time we talked on the phone. What does concern me is everyone handling my radio between my location and his, I'll feel better once it's in my...

    Base Dug the V Quad out of the barn

    Yeah I've got it together, I've got to get some new coaxial to run to it, but it's poured rain the last two days expecting more rain early in the morning. Gonna try and buy some tomorrow. I've also got to give my pushup pole some TLC, somehow it got bent pretty badly on the bottom section...
