    11 meter is very quiet?

    Hi Shadetree, wouldn't I then have to buy a Bluetooth capable radio? Thanks for the suggestion but I'll stick with my non Bluetooth radios for the moment. It was the thundery weather had me unplug for safety reasons, and today it looks like a repeat performance. My radios are old stock at this...

    Pole Cat CB base antenna

    So I found out why I was getting a 3 on the swr. The coax I was using had little lumps in it every 8 to 10 inches and when I cut a bit off of it and opened the coax, I found that the center wire was protruding through to the braid and causing problems.I swapped it for a different length of coax...

    Pole Cat CB base antenna

    I'm after putting the antenna together. First swr reading is 3 on 26.965 and 27.415. I'll adjust the wire on the coil and see how it goes from there.

    Its also either a mark 1 or mark 2. The CRT company in France sell that radio as the SS 6900 which now puts out about 45watts or so. The one I have puts out about 25 watts. It does me!

    RCI 69 base

    A pure guess on my part, but would the power dial perhaps need to be recalibrated or some other adjustments made to give out the specified RF reading.

    Any artist out there?

    Hey Wally I saw the wagon wheel hub as a barrel. Its just what it looked like to me. That's the thing with art though, different folks see different things....

    Any artist out there?

    Your a very talented artist Wally. Man that's good stuff. I like the tree and the truck, and the faded wheel, ghostish like. The rocks beneath the barrel. Lots of concentration and details and time honing another of your crafts. Thanks for sharing Wally.
