NO I would not do that since it (Mag Mount) it is already grounded.. If it was needed then they would market the mount as a mag mount + ground wire :roll: It looks like crap and sometimes makes antenna hard to tune out right. What I did after spending an afternoon with Kale...

Well as matter of fact I do get it, however I did not present in theory or state anything as a fact other than my personal experience.. I do not claim to be a engineer or anyone of higher learning, but someone able to do deductable reasoning or as I like to say, make 2 @ 2 come to 4...

B M, I wasn`t going to reply but after reading so much BS I just can`t help myself. To Answer Your Question Directly, Yes I have tried them all and I mean them all and NO I can not tell the difference. If there is a difference, It would take a field strength meter and a fixed site to...

With so many of the forum members joining the Amateur ranks, I felt the need to share this artical I came across. What impressed me the most was not so much the How as was the Why, to give this some consideration. Not everyone will see this as I did however some will see the cookie...

Dont`t know about watches or that sort of thing... The reason I posted was because conputers will NOT adjust to this new time change without the patch, unless and then only possibly IF you have auto updates turned on and that is only in XP or Vista. Regards, John

The 66" comes with the Wilson 5000.... Actually when the dealers buy the Wilsons they come in a small box for both the 1000 @ 5000. The dealer buys the whips in a tube with X number of stingers and he can mix and match. If it is a CB or Ham shop, then he should know by now to get some...

Damn Bobby You Bad :twisted:

Just thought I would give a heads up to those that are not aware, or may have forgotten about the new time changes that will go into effect next month... http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst Regards, John

Answer coming from someone who know`s just enough to be Dangerous :shock: I would say that You pretty much answered all of your own questions as to this one... Regards,

Is there more than one way to do something ? YOU BET Is there more than one way to do it right ? sometimes.. I, like many others searched for a simple and easy way to convert my beloved TS 530 to eleven meters and not butcher it. I wanted the display correct and I wanted it fully aligned...

Hello Mike, Glad to hear from you my friend... Everone telling war stories, I remember a time when I met this guy on his way to my place. I had been talking him in for some time and when I seen him in his pickup, I could not help but wonder Where is his Antenna :) I believe that you...

Passed the written Element II @ Element III test on 4/24/2003. License issued on 4/28/2003. Like many of us who needed code to become a General Class, will most likely need to take written test again. I am ready for it and the Extra class also, so I can play on my favorite haunt :) 20...

Least no one think otherwise, they are mounted on seperate poles and the I 10K is at 42 ft.base and the Quad is at 36 foot to boom center. It should be a bit higher by about 9 ft. so the feed point would be at 36 ft. I believe. Diamond shape, feed at bottom for flatside polarity. John

Copper-Weld Wire cut a little longer than center of CB band. Really not much worth mention, except I work a lot of AM on the lower side and tuner seems to handle the high side when and if needed a bit better. I have not seen over 1.5 SWR from 26.400 thru 27.800 without ever using tuner...

I have a Cubex Quad 2 Element Antenna to compliment my I 10K from Jay. Very happy with both of them, since I believe both to be of top quality. If I was to do it again I would probley go with a 4 element... http://www.cubex.com I had mine tweaked a little :) Regards,

The Lord works in mysterious ways :D As Toll_Free said in another thread ! Those types of amps have taken the life of many :( Lightning took the life of that amp before it could take yours or someone close to you. Sorry for your loss however if it was me, I would consider it a...

Doc, could the "Or What" be a age thing :shock: Thats what I seem to blame everthing on these days :lol: BTW,not trying to steal the thread from anyone! I like the 269 MFJ as well and it seems to be more accurate when I have 110 volts handy for the wall wart or I am able to use...
