    Black Powder caps?

    In my case, I was willing to pay more for the durability of steel. I didn't buy it to have just in case, but to use on a regular basis. Even when percussion caps have been available during the last several years, they have been way more expensive than I'm willing to pay. In my opinion $60 or $75...

    Black Powder caps?

    I don't doubt they're strong enough. I just worry that they will eventually fatigue and break. I would however like to find the files so I can print my own. That way when it breaks I can just print a new one.

    Black Powder caps?

    Are you the seller? They cost less than others on the market, and I like the fact that they have a musket cap maker as well as No. 10 and 11. But they are 3d printed plastic, and I have doubts as to how well they will hold up.

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    This is awesome! Thanks for posting it. Even though they've only been around a few years, it reminds me of discovering in the late '70s an old psychedelic album, on vinyl, from a band I had never heard of before.

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    I love this piece. If you watch it on Youtube, the top comment is a compliment by the original composer.

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    These people are great! I've heard them play Chicago songs better than Chicago did. IIRC they're Eastern European.

    Smokey and the CB

    Funny you would mention "Twister." Back in the '90s when I was managing a radio store, a guy came in looking for an HF mobile rig to put in his stormchaser vehicle for the documentary he was producing. I tried to sell him one of the SGC setups complete with external autotuner and helical whip...

    What's your favorite pepper sauce?

    KFC and Popeyes here, but Bojangles beats them both. At the moment, my Louisiana hot sauce is just that: "Louisiana" hot sauce; the one with the red dot on the label.

    Smokey and the CB

    Hollywood makes up stuff out of whole cloth. You simply cannot extrapolate reality based on what they portray. An example would be the movie that depicts feds tracking someone by showing a satellite above earth along with the sound of Morse code sending "CQ." I think that one was in "Enemy Of...

    Recommendations on an inexpensive 10/11/12 meter base antenna

    My Sirio GPE-27 won't cover from the bottom of 11 to the top of 10 with a low swr, but I tuned it for minimum swr at around 27.5 and it allows me to operate all of the cb channels and up to 28.500 (the upper end of the most used ssb part of 10) with a reasonable swr. I would have to retune if I...

    Sirio also makes a copy of the Starduster, and it's under $100 and free shipping from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sirio-StarDuster-M-400-26-5-30Mhz-Tunable-CB-10M-Base-Antenna/175463062 I think they're made in Italy, too. Not China.

    Not personally, but I'm sure someone on here has used it.
