Glad to hear your OK there Doc.
HomerBB should be OK. I am about 40 miles of him and there wasn't much storm damage up there. I heard someone talking to HomerBB last week but we are little to far to DX.
IF you don't mind shipping, send me a PM and I will give you the contact info for the best tech in the central US.
He wrote most of the articles on CBtricks and knows his stuff. He lives 3 hours from me, but well worth the drive.
Pretty quick turn around too.
Currently running a 2970N2

A first for me..........
Not a great day for skip.... BUT......
I talked to 3055 in the San Francisco Bay ON HIS SAIL BOAT I wouldn't have believed it except that I have
heard him for almost a year on LSB 38 and finally made a short contact with him.
For a very short time I heard...
Normal, My wife always knows if I am on the radio when I get home. The touch lights on the table by the front door always come on as soon as I hit the driveway if I'm transmitting. :sneaky2:
If I set in the driveway and talk the lights will go from off to Med and High and then back off the...

Not one of your 3 choices but, I have been running a Ranger 2970N2 for about a year now and LOVE it. Talked Dx from NW Europe to Australia and coast to coast from Arkansas on SSB in my truck.
My radio guy said that the Ranger is one of best for NOT drifting.
But like posted...
That's exactly what I do, If 6 is dead, everything else will be too in my area. Today was DEAD. Made good contact with 2042 in Nova Scotia for quite some time but 2042 was the ONLY one on LSB38 for me.
However, yesterday LSB 38 was good for me from east coast to NW coast.
Patience is...
Tommyguns,
Been running a N2 for almost 6 months now in a '10 Chevy truck, no issues at all.
Check out: KØBG.COM
That site has more info on grounding and bonding than you will ever need to know.
Nice,
Once you get hooked, it's hard to stop. I heard Indiana Jones but didn't make contact with him. Dx'd with Boston and British Col.

Ranger 2970 N2
Looking to replace the coax on a Wilson 5K. What is the BEST coax I can get? Looking at Belden 9913F7, but to be honest, they all are starting to "run together". Running a 2970N2 in 2010 Chevy truck.
Any suggestions will be appreciated !!
khman,
Glad to have you back in the hobby. I was in the same boat you were in, just got back into CB's after all my stuff got swiped in '91. Used to talk DX to some guys in St. Augustine Florida back in the late '80's on a regular basis and up in PA aroung 3 mile island.
Take your time...
