    Best CB Radio DX Antenna?

    absolutely come across that phenomenom. FN30 here, home is less then 2000' from the atlantic ocean, & frequently mobile in a parking lot or on the beach literally on the edge of the atlantic ocean. it happens most often early morning, but can happen any time of day, any season, any weather...

    Best CB Radio DX Antenna?

    ARGUABLY the BEST BUILT 11 meter groundplane COULD go to the I10K. is it HANDS DOWN NOTICEABLY a better performer then ANY OTHER reasonably well designed 5/8 wave antenna. according to the laws of physics, no :)

    good conditions of just luck

    not what i meant lil'yeshua that's why i added 'fronts & other weather/atmospheric related incidents'. here literally on the edge of the atlantic ocean in fn30, we get occasional occurrences that do NOT coincide with the hepburn forecast-sometimes into PA or upstate NY, but sometimes into...

    CB CB CBDX

    it's a topic that's been hashed & rehashed like code/no code contest/no contest a zillion times. we lower ourselves to his level when we continue lengthy threads in his honor. on the other hand, i contact him every time i hear him just to say 'sorry, no 10-10 number here' :) but i do TRY to...

    good conditions of just luck

    Haven't looked at the hepburn forecast, nor do i know where in nc towerdog is. BUT could have been a tropo variant....45 miles being a bit closer then the 'norm' however. But here on the edge of the atlantic ocean, strange things happen via ducts, fronts & other weather/atmospheric related...

    world wide dx members on 10 meters??

    was in & out of the mobile from 1400-1900z.....not a peep on 28.455, or anywhere on 10m for that matter. heard 1 pj4/sp9(i think) && that was it. 27.385 on the other hand had foe-tee-foe foe-tee-foe right from the get go, along with a handful of TX, AZ, CA & WA. where's the e-skip...

    rci 2950dx e-chip

    nope. don't believe you. can't be true. copper (along with h&y) are liars, cheats & thieves. they would STEAL your e-chip & butcher the radio-on purpose, no less. they have to. i read it on the internet....here i do believe.....& everything you read on the internet is true. of...

    magnum S9 radio VS Ranger RCI 2950

    really? generally, the design of the PLL controlled magnums provides a relatively quiet receive. it's the floating ground, CPU controlled magnums that have high levels of white noise. a rather coherent conversation with sam lewis right after the introduction of the omega force was the 1st...

    rofl

    no no. very effective, high quality item. when i stick a set inside my amp, my 2 x 4cx15000 box does not splatter at all. and i get 850 clean watts out of my dx250hdv with 100 watts drive. you have to get them gold plated & drop them inside of the power supply while keyed at max output...

    DeltaForce and TxStar 250HD

    i guess. maybe. best cb amp ever made. just as good as my als500m ;)

    DeltaForce and TxStar 250HD

    yup. dump 35 watts into a 2x2290 amp ;) we'll be listening to you on the 11m band. literally :)

    DeltaForce and TxStar 250HD

    if you DO have a power meter, turn the variable on the amp full open (if it is a V model), engage the yellow SSB button ( for the delay) turn the radio MIC GAIN to where you normally keep it, and the rf power control down, key up and talk normally and slowly roll the rf power control up on the...

    Best CB Radio DX Antenna?

    oh well. guess i'll repeat myself. IT'S ALL IN THE STARS.....OR REALLY THE SUN. & SOMETIMES IN THE CLOUDS IN BETWEEN :) there is no ONE antenna best for ANYTHING. the question was 'i was just wondering if there was a specific type of antenna that works the best for dx'. the answer is...

    "10 meter radios" suck

    yet another one of those threads that i just can't read after i get most of the way through the initial post. most truckers don't need a full scale all out balls to the wall export. all they need is 26.735....sorry, is that the freq, channel 19, 1 band down? but you know what i mean. well...
