    Cb repair place/guy

    This man has a lot of good reviews, I met him on a former CB site and emailed him quite a few times, all positive. He is kinda short, but all his client's really like his work. He even has your repair videoed so you can watch it on YouTube, awesome. You can tell him I gave you his information...

    Your furthest contact .

    Downtown London England in 1969.A friend of mine Mr.Skip in Baxter GA, was talking to the Watchmaker on a Moonraker and I was just listening. I broke and told him wish I could talk like that, then Watchmaker told me to go ahead, I like to fell out, I looked and my antenna switch and it was on...

    Coax ??

    Thanks for the reply. We were just talking about eating @ A/catfish soon. We will be in St.Augustine the weekend after Labor day, we have a rental house for a week on the Beach. I found some USA made Workman RG8 (50') on Amazon @ a good price. I just run a barefoot base set-up with an old...

    Coax ??

    Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that Times microwave lmr 240 is different than the last one you mentioned lmr 240 ? It kinda confused me. I miss DB @ Port Orange bridge eating @ Aunt Catfish, see I know where you are, wish we were there. 555 :whistle:

    Coax ??

    Maybe out of my league, $60.00 for 50' of LMR 240 is enough to pay w/shipping for useable coax. There is so much on the market today I just wanted your thought. I've had a bunch of coax over the years, some good and some not so good. It's just a hobby for me now @ 72 to just set back and...

    Coax ??

    Thanks for the reply, for the time being, I'm running barefoot with no Amp, but I'm always open to a real good deal on a tube. My present set-up is great for talking skip with the right conditions, with just the Big Stick. Some days the SWR is high, especially if it rains really hard, which my...

    Coax ??

    Looking to order 50 ft. of good Coax and there a lot to choose from. In your opinion, what is the best bang for the buck on the market ? I was looking @ Astatic on Amazon but previous buyer said when he received his order, it was actually NOT an Astatic product. 555

    2 pill amplifiers...

    I've been waiting to try and get an answer for sometime now. Prior to these small Amps flooding the market, in the late 60's/early 70's, if you were lucky enough to find an Amp, it was a 110v rather than 12v. You did not start lowering the drive on your radio as they were all in the 4-5 watt...

    SHAKESPEARE BIG STICK

    Doctor, I was merely giving you my opinion, didn't mean to cause any waves. I still stand behind experience, as we all know it's all about weather conditions and mother nature. I guess I should say I've been lucky, and will continue as such, it's also what you like best from...

    SHAKESPEARE BIG STICK

    Whatever you do, don't let go of it, they are the best all directional with 7db gain, hard to find. If your SWR is less than 2, don't worry about it. I've talked to midwest on mine with a naked base station. I have mine on probably 25 ft or less of mast on the garage, works great. Hope everyone...

    Mobile Antenna ??

    Thanks guy's for all the response. All good advise, I found a great K40 and a Wilson 500 both with goos coax in a yard sale for $5 each. I know the Wilson is a little older, but that's sometimes a good thing. I know either will work fine for me and what I will do with it. My Taho is always...

    Mobile Antenna ??

    Looking for a good Magnetic mount CB antenna for Tahoe. Whats your thinking on K40 vs MaxRad 2700 NMO ? Nothing to expensive here for casual use with just a HOT Cobra 25, no heat. 555 :thumbup:
