    AM and SSB at night...

    My wife used to have a nice setup in the 80's, beam and all and she thinks I'm crazy to talk radio these days. I have a setup that is pretty stealthy so she is cool with it.

    Is this daily skip going to be the end of CB?

    I asked why the 155 mile restriction, that's all.

    Is this daily skip going to be the end of CB?

    Can one of the hams explain why the 155 miles rule? The 4 watt rule is a joke if I can have a beam with 30db gain 100 feet up in the air. CBand needs overhauled and brought into the 21 century, but CB will most likely die with my generation

    I hear it here in SW Ohio also, but can't find the exit?!

    Is this daily skip going to be the end of CB?

    I rarely hold dx convos anyway just like to make contacts so I don't see the big deal...

    Is this daily skip going to be the end of CB?

    How would you know if the person you here is over 156 miles without talking to them. I can not stop my signal from going over 155 miles, their is know way to know without taking a chance of breaking the law... The law is outdated, the FCC is outdated...

    I am currently running a version of this amp with 455's. I get about 120 AM and maybe 150 SSB. Good little amp for a cheap boost in signal.

    take off angle

    Hams would fight us to the death! No way they would let us lowly cbers lobby for change without a fight. Let's get back to topic, End rant!

    take off angle

    I bet that hambone never broke a speed limit or ran a red light. Come on, who did I hurt taking to Jack Crap in St. Louis! If I was worried about TOA I would get a beam and be done. Oh and don't forget hammy, 11 meter was originally a ham band! HAha!

    My station and test benches

    One nice thing about it, it will still work when the power goes out. Maybe I will pick one up at a yard sale for nothing.

    I prefer 2 strokes, had a 1987 Quadracer also but the YZ490 I had at 19 was just brutal :)

    My station and test benches

    Haven't used one of those in 20+ years. I knew what is, you still use it I guess.

    Marconi comparison testing his A99 without a feed line and mast.

    I really don't know. I was just given an old A99 but always heard about tvi problems. I use a 102" with 2 opposing 102's for radials. I would like a better omni and wondered if it was worth the switch but I live in town and don't want to cause interference.
