    My last 2 stroke was a 1973 RD250, the foundation for what evolved into the RZ's. The RD350 was a bored out 250 with disk brakes and the 6th gear unlocked. Wish I kept that one, paid $500 for it and it only had 6k miles. This was in 2007. I want to find a 500cc Suzuki, 2 cylinder 2 stroke...

    Custom base station

    I would watch clist, epay for a trashed dak, boat anchor, something big. It would have benefits and drawbacks but you would already have a good foundation to build upon and plenty of room.

    CB Radio...unknown to the younger generation ....

    I hope we get more participation in the hobby. If not all the equipment we buy will just lose all value as our numbers dwindle and our collections and junk piles get bigger.

    My station and test benches

    What is the black thing on the wall to the right of the weather station? Looks like it has a wire coming out of it.

    So I'd like a mobile CB, but I don't want no stinkin' antenna

    I ran a 102" on my '96 Saturn SC1 on a homemade truck mount. I normally run a 5.5' antenna but wanted to try it out since I bought 3 for my base antenna project. That thing was in the air mounted on the trunk!

    4 tube amp questions

    I believe 80w per tube is all you should run 6lq6's. Can you post pics of the board side of that amp? I have a Rangemaster 500 that I believe is just a rebranded Thunderbolt. When I bought a lot of 3 amps, I didn't notice some wires were chewed through when I looked on the underside.

    What year was my radio built

    Were they all built in one country? If so what years were built where? This would narrow it down a bit.

    Super Penetrator 500 above a Sirio SY 27-4?

    Stupid idea here but, what if you put a reflector under the beam opposite the radials? Be interesting what effect this would have to minimize the downward radiation.

    Cobra 2000 talkback?

    Sounds like you need to check the wiring to the mic jack and the jack itself for shorts.

    What year was my radio built

    I read somewhere that it goes by the first digit, 1987. Not positive if that is correct though.

    Anyone modeled or try 8 9feet radials on a 5/8 vertical

    I may make a 5/8 wave wire ant with some leftover coax. Anything I should be aware of? I don't have an analyzer to check resonance and reactance.
