    Fathers Day Weekend - LSB 16

    Will keep trying another day. Conditions were north to south and even a little east this evening(close AZ and ID). I did hear 1 person in northern CA that advised they made many contacts today(much further east than I could hear, AR was the furthest but, could be wrong on that). Probably due to...

    Super Star 3000 From Japan N.O.S.

    ST I would love to see the solder side. When you have time. SP5IT so aggressive. PS binging it up slow is on 12v like the ghetto variac. Surprised no one commented on that. We shall see.

    I need antenna help

    good grief. Little Will will work but the others he mentioned are better. A 2 ft firestick with a ground to the frame of 8 ga or braided flat will give amazing results and low swr. I would think with a 5ft length on the 1000 a 3 ft Wilson silver load or a firestick would give great results. I...

    Galaxy 2 radio issues

    I would also defer to other folks on this site to what are the best quality kits/components. Meter what you take out. Meter what you put in. They are cheap and worth the time.

    Galaxy 2 radio issues

    I have been trying to find something on ebay to do a recap on those boards. I have not found it. They are all ranger boards. Should be simple. I will get back to you if I find a kit. PS be dialed in your soldering. You need to be better at desolding than resoldering. Loose no trace or pad from...

    Installing roger beep

    Like fog lights or driving lights on in the day time. They are fine for non verbal communications(do know that some modern trucks are all on). Almost better than the high beams to say it is OK to come on over. Please use them wisely. If you do not have an interrupt to give two blinks to say...

    Installing roger beep

    Initial key wait the speak then roger beep. That is how to be an operator. So long it does not go out on transmit. Then work on cadence and intonation.

    Ham gear on lower side band 38

    38lsb is why I wanted to get my ticket(not to mention all of the fine folks in my area on channel 28). Yes there are some folks in southern ca and pheonix area that I could never hear again. Having a CB that sounds good on 11m is fun to maintain Grant, 148, or Texas Ranger 696F(odd because that...

    Solar minimum got you down?

    I drive a large car(semi with a lowbed/D6MXLfire dozer on it). Back in the 90's a large car/rooster cruiser had a big sounding radio with a little echo. This has been trampled by young folks with some cash. They have no control and they are the Snap Chat generation and nothing from them comes in...
