    DX-Skip

    Hammer, just a thought, and I don't know how it is in your location, have you tried moving off your comfort channel? Usually on cb 37-40 is SSB skip and 11 and lower seems to be AM skip. I have seen quiet channels in the middle in my area. If everything is loaded buy some export radios and find...

    Little Tarheel II

    Hey Moleculo, just a quick question since you had both. Is there noticeable difference between the Tarheel that you had and the HiQ?

    Wilson 5000 - How broad banded?

    I've tuned a Wilson trucker 5000 on my little dump truck more towards 28.3 but I've went up to the 28.6 area under 2:1 and I do ch 19 just fine. I get 3-5 miles with it, plenty for traffic reports. I get plenty of contacts using my magnum 357 on 10 as well.

    AC Current Limiter?

    Ameritron has sold them for several years. I believe the AL1500 and 1200 have them built in. In rush protection from Ameriteon looks like a single outlet extension cord you plug your amp into.

    Bulgaria

    Amazing, 10,12,15,17 have been really nice here in the middle of the Indiana. Just worked T32C on 21.285/275. I know for you guys on the west coast, that's a day walk, but for me in the middle with just a vertical and 85w, I was thrilled.:lol:

    US Amateur bands

    My bad, I should've been more clearer. Tired when I wrote it. :) Has there been a new graph(printable) since 08? They have the 60m band plan listed on the graph, but the Advanced is still listed. Has the Advanced just been absorbed or grandfathered into the Extra and the General is it still the...

    US Amateur bands

    has the band plans changed since 2008 effective date? since it still lists the advanced class. Has there been any adjustments to the frequency use with the changes of the class license structure? Just curious.
