    when to skip/DX

    For 11 meters (CB) yes. Different frequencies are refracted off of different layers of the ionosphere. The ionosphere is charged by sunlight. 11 meters is refracted off a layer that for lack of a better term, disappears when the sun goes down.

    My old friend President Jackson.

    This guy won't see a dime from me. Typical CB shop shuck and jive. Got a turd to sell? Just polish it with a good story. The radio may not be a turd at all, but the fact that he felt the need to tell stories about Uniden engineers says all I need to know about him.

    My old friend President Jackson.

    That's it right there. If these things have Motorola MRF477 finals, then they are old. Or, considering the cost of an MRF477 the radio is one HELL of a bargain. I'm sure RCI can get their hands on those finals cheaper than you or I could, but it would cost me up to half the cost of this radio...

    He was perfectly within his rights to ask that. He was determining if she qualified for court appointed council. If you make too much or have enough assets, then you can afford your own lawyer and don't qualify.

    Now since we are finding out they appear to be originals, the question that everyone wants to have answered: "Could you sell it on ebay labeled as vintage, and get the 300% vintage markup?"

    I'll say it again. Respect for the court. You as the defendant, prosecutor, juror, witness, or spectator are expected to maintain a level of respect for the court. This dummy didn't. She had a "this ain't a big deal" attitude from the start. For someone facing a felony charge, she played it off...

    Big Eimac Tube

    If I do a swing kit on my radio could I see a few more watts on the output of the amp? Maybe get it up to 1,500,020 watts?

    After seeing how he shoots, I think the only response I would get is "Yo, why you be trippin? Dis how we do it in da hood"

    Honey Glock Torture!

    I hope that jackass never has anything to do with teaching new shooters about the hobby. If you are unsure what will happen when you pull a trigger, why in the hell would you wrap your hand around the gun? And turning the gun sideways to shoot? Wow he's so gangsta.

    It's about respect. Respect for the court. You don't walk into a court room with pants around your knees and your hat on backwards. Her attitude start to finish was disrespectful. The judge was justified.

    Echolink, Helpful Tool or Internet Chat?

    No, I mean zero radio involved. Two guys doing nothing but VOIP using computer speakers and microphone and calling that a radio QSO. I had literally just found Echolink a few days before I started this thread. I have since learned why a lot of people don't like it. However, is linking two...

    I get that it's a brand new radio with warranty and all, but did you take a peek under that bias diode and see what final it has?

    Echolink, Helpful Tool or Internet Chat?

    I started this thread a month ago, and have spent alot of time on 2 and 70 since then. 10 is dead more often than not and I am still without a full HF radio. I do have kids going to the doctors and growing out of clothes, but no HF setup yet. Go figure. When 10 is open, my dual bander ends up...

    Vandenberg AFB POV

    Never got to see the actual launches, but the solid rocket boosters for the shuttle were built about 20 miles from my house at Thiokol. Every once in a while they would lay them on their side, strap them down, and test fire them. Amazing site to see. Even when I wasn't out there to watch it, it...
