well anyway, this comment wont get likes but this threads solved.: do NOT put up a 5/8 wavelength antenna on a 40 foot push-up-pole by yourself. thats the answer yall its possible with two people but you might wanna reconsider the height and just go to 20ft instead if youre by yourself dont...

i have several including a 40 foot channel master. certain radioshacks would sell these eons ago. they absolutely require guy wires (including thimbles and…you know…actual hardware rather than a few knots) and can absolutely support a 5/8ths but require an immense amount of effort if done by...

not a fan of happy music more, some of you will probably not like this stuff

easily their best track

very odd but yeah, like i said: sounds like you had a ground loop. it wouldnt surprise me if it actually was just dust at all lol not sure what to say about the SWR though which is kinda concerning since it involves an amplifier - unless youre plugging the radio directly into the antenna (and...

dont use the radio meter, ignore it. not trying to tell you what to do either, trust me it sounds like the power supply has a ground loop somewhere. if both the radio and an swr meter placed halfway between two 18ft pieces of coax say the same thing, you should be worried. something is not right

if i remember correctly (dont hold me to this, please), he used an emulator ii (the "synth" seen in ferris bueller), a prophet-5, dx7, among other things. thats pretty much the rundown though theres also another track which uses several dx7 presets and sounds nearly identical at certain parts...

technically speaking, this is referred to as a tv track in the industry - usually that means it contains the songs hooks, parts of the chorus (literally, dubbed vocals), anything except the actual vocals to the song with that said, its not actually an instrumental but basically matches the...

heres an exact link to the 5/8ths antenna most people namedrop on the radio, aka "colossal" i personally prefer the wilson alpha v58 aka the maco v58. it just works.

for future reference, if anyone ever sees it mounted to the wall like this then its 100% from china or taiwan. its unmistakable and cannot be missed. i dont run a cb shop or anything but i refuse to touch these radios, specifically, because of how unpredictable they are compared to "normal"...

that one guitar felt good in his hands

i’m not going to post photos or go into real details about my setup, however… if you want unbelievably clean audio without using ancient sweep tubes, id strongly suggest using an mrf455 4-pill with extra low keying carrier - two watt deadkey is more than enough use an [insert number] farad...

"in time", as the old timers say play two notes

remember everyone: its only directional if its "in motion", aka it has an angle approx 3/4ths the way into the antenna. "in motion" usually refers to wind...hopefully it doesnt involve a tornado if its somewhat straight up and down then its a regular omnidirectional antenna. its when you add...

welcome to the weekend

im not trying to contradict you here but the op was also asking the following question indirectly: where are these newer, supposedly better radios? do they really exist and if so, why are older radios still in “active service”? thats the real question here. its a paradox in my opinion im not...

thats the skin effect. nobody can put a rhyme or reason why skin effect exists yet its right there. its why RF burn exists, etc the material used to conduct a signal (read: electricity) is irrelevant. the universe...aka sine waves, light itself, [insert anything here]...does not agree with math...
