I just got my GMRS license and plan to get a few commercial type HT's and eventually have a repeater. With the commercial radios the range is a lot farther than with the little Walmart fall-a-part junk. What I do not understand is the attitude of but people.... so few people use these...

I should be around 950 or so. :lol: Ed KC0PZE

Tim, nice to visit with you this afternoon. Glad 40 meters was open nice S9 + 10 signal, and a nice sounding station. Look forward to doing it again. :D 73 Ed KC0PZE

Anyone know of a good mobile radio for GMRS? Up to 50 watts out, repeater splits, and CTCSS. Would like some good local communications with the house. 76 Ed KC0PZE

Thanks guys for all the replys. Doc, its good to see you on here, and I always get a kick out of your advice. I guess a 468 ft dipole is a little out of the question for the dump truck. i'll just tell the host to TALK LOUDER do I can hear. HHHHMMMMMMMM................ does Rush Limbaugh need...

WCW, I could do without FM if I could find a good AM antenna. Thats my point, looking for good AM performance not caring about FM. I know about satelite radio, but man I just can't bring myself to pay for radio, not yet any way. 73 Ed KC0PZE

I know this isn't about CB or Ham antennas, but I was wondering if anyone knew of an antenna for car or truck that is built to recieve the AM broadcast band better than just a stinger, or in my case a CB antenna. That is the antenna for the radio on my 2003 Sterling dump truck. I like talk radio...

Brew, thats not it, but thanks alot. Garth, sounds like you have the same problem I have, kids like the internet too :D Thanks guys Ed KC0PZE

The other night I ran across a website with a lot of info on Rf transistors, and like a dummy I didn't save it. Anybody help me out with a site that has the same info? Thanks Ed KC0PZE

Why can't we have a calling frequency for all the bands. Sometimes 20 aint so great but 17 or 15 is. Or if we wanted to get together after dark we could use 40 (if the foreign broadcast is not to bad), or 75 if we can find a slot :D . Just an idear 73 Ed KC0PZE

Stu, I worked that Costa Rica station on Sunday. He gave me a 5-9+ sig report. Been a lot of good DX on 17 for sure. 73 Ed KC0PZE

Was just out doing antenna work. Its 35 degrees and snowing lightly, nothing like what it is up in the Denver area tho. Its an lod Hams tale that if you do antenna work in bad weather you will have very little trouble with your system, compared to doing antenna work in nice weather, then all you...

Here is what I seem to notice on the bands here lately. There is 2 stations trying to work a sched and the band is very poor, so bothe stations crank up the amps and turn processors on to be able to communicate. They sound fine to each other, but to the stations that have good band to either...

Stu, 17 meters is my favorite band to operate on. I work a lot of DX and have some really nice QSO's from time to time. More of a gentlemens band, where you don't need legal limit to get noticed. I use a home brew rotable dipole for an antenna, mostly just 100 watts from the TS570D, but...

Great conditions for sure Wayne. Yesterday I got up early to try to work some European DX on 17 and 15 meters............ nuttin, but I could hear the easy coast guys working Europe. Then at about 3 O'clock my time 17 opened into Europe and I worked Switzerland, Ireland, and Cayman Islands...

Speaking of the real DOO DAH, I will be seeing him on Thursday. He is picking me up at the airport in Tampa and taking me down to Jerry's (4501) in Punta Gorda. I will be down there until Tuesday, just Crappie fishing and Hamfesting. One thing about Roland, he is always a trip. 73, OMG I'm...

Hey brew, Just goes to show you that conditions can pop in at anytime. That is what makes the hobby so cool. Sometimes you don't hear anything on the band, and you pick up the microphone give a call and you wind up with a pileup wnating to talk to you, that is what is fun. I hope that you...

keep it up Brew, you'll have a list of contacts as longs the calender before long. 73 Ed KC0PZE </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p067.ezboard.com/bworldwidecbradioclub.showUserPublicProfile?gid=fasteddy@worldwidecbradioclub>fasteddy</A> at: 1/1/05 7:21 am
