Without a doubt something has changed, common sense dictates that changing the antenna's dimensions has to have some effect on performance. Theory would suggest an increase in gain due to the longer boom length. It's not that the antenna was a lump of coal before, and now it's a diamond due to a...

Exactly. I previously had a four element 11M quad on a 16 ft. boom, when I recently put it back up I went with a 20 ft. boom. After all the re-tuning was said and done, I now have the same antenna on a 20 ft. boom, no noticeable difference performance-wise.

I did that once, many years ago, I had a great pic of a copter with the rotor frozen. People wanted to know why I didn't have any pics of the crash scene.

I've been lucky with my quads handling the wind and ice here on the shores of Lake Erie.The fiberglass spreaders I'm using aren't tapered like the old Comet/Shooting Star design, but are solid straight fiberglass. Actually they are golf course flagsticks from a local course that was replacing...

Don has been retired for many years. He only does warranty work for Connex radios out of his home. His old shop's location is now a vacant lot.

We serve the greens wilted down with a warm sweet/sour bacon dressing. Also good on other greens such as spinach, and various lettuces.

I gather fiddleheads, as well as dandelions and wild leeks (ramps) when they are in season. Still a bit early yet here in NW PA, we still have snow on the ground. Won't be gathering any free edibles till sometime in mid- to late-April.

I purchase granulated citric acid from a local pharmacy for my brass cleaning. It's cheap (Amazon has it for around $9/lb.), safe, and easy to use. Just mix it with water, give the brass a soak, rinse with clear water, and let dry. I've been using this method for over 25 years without a problem...

So I'm guessing that's a big negatory on the TRB-1 echo board and the Nitro knobs? :whistle:

Scary.

If I'm not mistaken, the film clip is from the now defunct sitcom Reno 911 that aired a few years back.

If memory serves correct, there's a State mental institution located in Danville, not that the two are related. Just sayin'.....

This logically then brings up the debate over which is more powerful, tube watts or pill watts? :confused1:

Of all the mics I've tried over the years, I keep coming back to the Astatic 575, the D104-M6 with Bob85's mod, or the 2018 Extreme with the noise crap turned OFF. For a N/C mic, it's either a SkyThumper or the SRA-198. Just my $.02.

Clown Town. :rolleyes:

The 100 Bilinear is circa mid-70's, sold under various names such as Bimbo and Hooker. The PEP/RMS switch is nothing more than a HI/LO switch. I have one with a pr. of PT7984's in it, switchable between 60 and 90 watts (IIRC) with a stock CB driving it. First amp I ever bought, the only thing I...

Such a delightful and/or charming young lady. :lol:

Bellefonte, PA. Rockview penitentiary, State Correctional facility is there. Maybe he's just lonely....:whistle:

What? You don't consider volting the final as "redesigning the RF deck"?:blink: :lol:

Perhaps more 11M antennas would be used on 10M if the operators were aware of the audio gain to be realized. :whistle:
