    The Sun has Flipped . . .

    not total death to cbers or techs. e skip will flood 12, 11, 10 & 6m with short skip, under 1200 miles, with the occasional double hop farther out, even some 'across the water' contacts, may-aug, dec-jan, & if global warming or the coming apocalypse has anything to do with it, there's been e...

    Ranger Superstar SS-JA

    JA.....hmmmm. very appropriate name for a radio that, whoever thinks they are actually good radios, is a j***a**. but then again, too many people believe what their friend on 38 LSB says ;)

    Another crack pipe smoker

    really? and there's a problem with that? that's capitalism.....if you can do it, capitalize on it. let's just say after a prolonged period of time it wasn't selling, maybe you WOULD have taken fifty bucks just to unload it, he would have to have either come up with a helluva good line of BS...

    Ebay President Jackson!

    Because they THINK export=loud, like, ahem, galaxy. They dont understand the technical aspect of why a jackson sucks on ssb & is even suckier on AM. They see mrf 455 or whatever it was & say oooooh lookie at all the watts. 1 million watts with no modulation is just a dead key, the jackson is...

    mobile 10 through 12 meters

    My predator 10k on a triple magnet mount is tuned 1.1:1 on 27.000. On 28.500 it is about 1.8:1. On 24.945 it is about 2.8:1. With my ic706mk2g, i can make MOST 10 & 12m contacts i attempt. More often then i can on 11m, i guess due to congestion. I turn back the power on the icom to show...

    Ham vs CB

    The question was....are there more people on the ham radio frequencies? Well it depends. What MONTH was the contest & was it e skip or f layer? Either way, the ONLY reason there were so many 10m contacts in a 20 hour period, was, in a word, CONTEST. Had it NOT been a contest, i GUARANTEE...

    Hey bigred, what channels do you use? If just the regular 40, find yourself a grant xl. Look at my user name.....get it? Yea i used a dx667 with a dx3200 for a LONG time. Absolutely NO problems. The audio was PERFECT. AM & SSB. I could talk ANYWHERE with just the 667v. Of course with...

    Galaxy 95T and TS667 issues

    Nice. Just can't play much on cb anymore. It's horrible down here on LI. Man-o-war is about it 'locally'.....more or less....on AM. SSB is like ch 19 used to be-just plain ugly. I've described my pet peeves here before ;) including the tech & genl 11m SSBers who just dont get 'skip', e...
