What do you mean by distance? I've talked thousands of miles with conditions, barefoot w/no conditions on co- phased 3.5 ft. firesticks 40 miles on S-9. I've talked to Aussie's from Oregon on mag s-9 with Francis 8'ft (cb50). The sad part some company by the name of valour or maybe bejorn bought...
Stretch limo? :bounce This works good: 2 Francis "Amazers"(cb50's), co-phased coax, 2"inches apart, put them on 1 antenna mount= oustanding RX & TX :bounce 8) Now its a 102" WORLD!!!

I just wanted to mention, to those in charge of this forum. That you guys, "the administration" are doing an EXCELLENT job on World Wide II, this time round. I have been reading your forum for almost 1 year. I like a forum that is not prejudice. And that is what you have going on here in my...

StarDuster? Theres a new "Agitator" in our town running one of these. Most every base station in town has a99 and one thing I noticed is that I rarely here the A99's further than 25 miles. The Starduster was 40 plus and this punk don't know sh*t thank God! I'm not going to tell him how well he...

If I need a tower I go to 3000 foot elevation or Run'er up to 6000 feet, Get'er Done!!! :bounce
The CB50, CB28 or both? Now I'm gonna' have to pull the cap and look on the one I think is CB28, but I'm pretty sure it is, to much of a change when I put the grey on :wink: I had a link to the "Amazer" for the patent file, I'll try to find 8)
Should'a been up here in Oregon today, JJD!! It would'a made your head spin and your eyes bulge out :bounce It was like stirring a bald faced hornets nest :wink:
Smalltiredart, The wheeler dealer(cb28) only has 1 copper wire, the "Amazer" (cb50, grey colored) has 3 wires and is by far the better of the two. You can safely run 500-600 watts. Every month or 2, pull the cap off the tip, and take your pocket knife and scrap the carbon build-up off. Who cares...
There ya' gooo! Lazybones said'er all. We rarely have lightning, its pretty much the same where you are isn't it DX? Maybe I could get some old train rails to bury under the pond liner that would dispurse the lightning in 3 or 4 directions and add some more plane :idea:
I just read in another forum where a fella just parked over a water storage on top of a garage and got good "DX". Well, at least you gave me the ground floor DXman, now I thinking I would start with the size pond that I can at least cast a line and not hit the bank on the otherside :P Of...
