    Original CB License......

    I have been trying in vain for several years to remember by call sign. Midland, no clue what kind. Baby Bear I do remember meeting a young lady over the air. Her handle was Cat Ballou. And she was, in person...

    Can this really happen?

    Freguency pins are not even used these days. They new systems have a module that changes frequency thousands of time a second. Google AMA. Call them. If they were flying on a non sanctioned AMA field, and not AMA members, they have NO case. With the size you described, it sounds like a...

    My New Presidential Collection

    How about telling an ex CB'r what's the deal on the Presidents? Better product, or just something to collect. Last time I did CB I had a license. Just curious.

    Cheap Entertainment

    I love going to the "BIG FORUM" and looking for bargains in the classified! Keeping a chart of how many used items that are selling for more than a new unit is big fun. I ad bonus points when PLUS shipping is added, since all the mail order guys ship free on $100 orders. My favorite...

    New to HF (list of my mistakes)

    Great minds! I made one of those yesterday, before i called Icom. They told me that would work, at times, but sooner or later, fried radio and tuner. I had a suggestion from my Elmer. He said nothing will work until the tuner is grounded. Here is another major problem. 2nd floor shack. He...

    New to HF (list of my mistakes)

    will it pick up all the HF bands? If I have to put up 100ft straight line, seems like I might as well put up an inverted V, 125 on each leg, then have it all? not arguing, but it's so hard to get help, I want to get this over in one day if possible. thanks

    Wouxun kg-uv920r Mobile

    Just an excuse to get another 8800. With the current activity on 440, I do ask myself why. I might hear 3 QSO's on 440 if I scan all day long. Looks like the FCC can take 440 easily, since no one uses it.

    New to HF (list of my mistakes)

    I'm fairly comfortable with my IC-7000, and thought I would give HF a try. It came with a new AH-4 tuner. I bought a mini GR5V to get my feet wet. Now I see that the tuner is for wire only, not coax. Antenna is mounted on a mast on my 2nd story house, and of course it will not pick up...

    Recommend me a good 2m radio

    Plus one on that. My 2900 has a better signal than my 8800 or IC 7000. 75 watts there if needed.

    Old timer CBer, new ?

    No, I have my hands full with Amateur radio, and just now putting up my first wire. My wife likes to hear my talk on the Ham rig. Not so with the language on the CB.

    Old timer CBer, new ?

    I used CB so long ago, I had a license! I thought about a very small radio to lay on the seat just to monitor 19 on road trips. Mag mount run through the back door so I can remove it. I have NO clue what is or is not worth getting this day & time. Any one thing I should avoid...

    Chain Link Fence ground?

    Getting ready to put up my first HF wire. I was told it was a bad idea to use a chain link fence as a ground. I was not told why though. True or false?
