The slight change in SWR don't concern me in the least, still have a less than 1.3:1 across the band. As stated by Jazzsinger the antenna should be tuned in its final position. I had it about 20' off of the ground to get the feel for tuning it and to see what element length change made what...

Just got my copy of an old Astroplane completed and up for testing. The SWR is lowest at channels 1 -6 (1:1). I had it tuned for channel 20 when it was lower to the ground but now it had changed on me. I really wanted to copy the Astro beam but thought that this would be a steping stone as some...

I don't have any problem paying a premo price if the radio is in fact mint. Collecting radios can be fun. But when it (they) are not described correctly it really gets my goat.

I don't know how but it seems that he Chris @ Ebay Turbo Electronics) has some tricks to pull off the 100% positive feedback. Too bad as it ruins what could be a good thing for honest people. However, if you look at it, a whole lot of CB operators are law breakers anyway so what is to be...

I am thinking of a new set up but also thinking about what W5LZ says. Right now I have switched my focus to getting that ham ticket. Just about ready for the test. It looks like one coming up in the area March 10th. I really hate the idea of either being restricted to 4 watts or breaking the law...

OK, I guess I'll just stick to my old way of thinking, lot of carrier and modist modulation to keep things clear and clean. I'll be digging out the old mark III and SBE stuff and start the check out. This spring I will be installing a restored super scanner antena - have to wait for the snow to...
