Wanting to stick an antenna on a 6 X 10 foot V nosed Aluminum skinned box Motorcyle hauler trailer of mine. It's basicaly a steel framework with an Aluminum skin. I think it's Aluminum anyway. Some sort of metalic skin at least. I am wondering if I am going to get enough ground plain, or is it...

Speaking of test equipment, I thought I should give a shout out for these guys at Ridge Equipment up in Maryland USA... IIRC. I bought a dummy load from them and they shipped fast and they answered questions promptly. Good people from what I can tell. Good prices on some stuff too. Mostly...

Keyer and paddle set that would plug right in to my RCI 2980wx for learning which would hook up but also act as a practice unit? For say... well... let start with 100 bucks or less? Used is fine if you know of some and ranges of ones you have seen sold recently if you don't. Or perhaps a...

Well I got one of those Spiral cell things to use. It's an Optima yellow top. I think those are supposed to not off gas or anything. They are a non lead acid sort of thing. And its going in a motorcycle enclosed trailer.... however I have not decided exactly where to place the battery at this...

Thanks... I think it's the Newcastles coaster that really gives it that final touch? :D

A bit more progress.... [/img]

cphilip was the user name I was given when I first came to work at Clemson U in January of 1980. I stuck with it. Used it and always used it as a user name on everything. I figured I was not smart enough to remember a bunch of different clever names and this one has its root in my real name...

Yeeeeeowch!!!!! sure is purdy though...

It's not supposed to be. The place I bought the radio from swears by not clipping and just aligning and tuning. Nice little set up carl. I want to do something with just a simple decent cheapish but good mobil CB as unit for my motorcycle trailer. Battery running and all that. Working on...

True true true switch. Heck... I fixed it... I turned the weather radio off.... simple... tornado's be damed! :D

What would you suggest to prevent it Carl? Will turning down the power lessen it? It seems the only thing affected. I could just turn it off if need be. And how far out do you suspect this run over is occuring? I have few neigbors and first one is at least a 1/4 mile away. but still...

Well... this thing works... and works well it seems. I decided to try it so I could get constant feedback on its reach when the kid left for work. He goes in a 11 pm this time. So he got on his CB that I put in his car and monitors for me. So I went to AM and got on channel 21 and it was...

Holey Smokes! ... its probably a good thing I did this bonding thingie... Finished the attachment of the Lightning arrestor this morning and trenched in the Coax to the shed. Then went to run the bond over to the house ground and when I took ahold of the copper to the ground rod to try and...

The actual number thats defensable is 30%. Simply because Diesel fuel contains 30% more BTU's per pound (or any other volume or weight measurement you chose to use) so you can say that it does at least that. There is another fudge factor that it gives off less of its energy in heat loss than Gas...

:D

I don't trust em either. However if its transient and not direct, it might work. Main thing I see in the latest plan is that the first section of coax sort of becomes sacrificial. If it makes it to the lightning arrestor its probably toasted. But that is then where the main copper 4 gauge is...

Your installer is a liar. The FCC doesn't certify installers. I believe the term I used was "approved"... but... Ok... well....lets get technical then. I am guilty there of abreviation. The FCC does indeed REQUIRE the installers of these to be HNS certified. So what I ment was that this...

I don't see one... but could be wrong. Had to snap that and then go to a Birthday party. Will look it over closer and see if I can get a clearer picture. I forgot and left my good digi cam at work Friday. Also talked to Russ at R&R communications about it and he was saying he doubted it...

Well that's certainly a blessing. I still got some stuff to do. Some of it worries me a bit. For one thing the Lightning arrestor has not arrived. And so for now I just have the two coax cables that were up there for the Sattelite internet dish bonded to the tripod and left there as they go...

So far.... so good....
